Front-end Engineer

Front-End Engineer - Spain Remote- Hi, thanks for reading about our
- **Front-end Engineer** opportunity We're glad you're here.
- We're Knack, a code-free platform used by thousands of customers — from non-profits to the world’s biggest companies — to easily build custom apps, workflows, and databases.
- We're looking for a brilliant front-end engineer to help us meet the enormous challenges around making it easy to do useful things with data.
- Knack is and has always been a 100% remote company. We started as a remote company so we know what it takes to ensure the success of a distributed team. TLDR: that essentially means that each member of the team has a huge amount of autonomy and ownership to define their work and impact.
- We're looking for applicants that are opinionated about what matters to them and want to join a fun, passionate, close-knit crew of high-quality human beings that, above all, enjoy working together. Hopefully, that's you

**_Please note: this is a remote role based in Spain._**

In this role, you will:

- Work with Vue/React to build and maintain Knack product features. Work with Backbone to support legacy portions of the product.
- Propose and implement architectural approaches for new features and refactoring legacy code.
- Improve the quality and confidence of a complex codebase with tests, audits, and performance metrics.
- Improve and enhance our design system / component library
- Be an inspiring and supportive teammate by participating in PR reviews, pair programming, active feedback, idea generation, teaching, learning, and in general being a delightful human being.

We're looking for someone who is:

- Passionate about turning complex business requirements into elegant software that delights users.
- Experienced as a meaningful contributor to a complex front-end architecture at scale.
- An expert in JavaScript and modern reactive frameworks: preferably Vue / React
- Humble but opinionated. You have lots of ideas, yet you are happy to shift directions when a better path emerges. You take your work much more seriously than you take yourself.
- An active collaborator. You want feedback on your work early and often, and you get a kick out of a collaborative process because it challenges you to do better work.
- Hungry for meaningful work, and space to do it. Knack is a complex product in a complex space and the work is extremely challenging - but also deeply rewarding. Knack makes a major impact in the work of thousands of companies and organizations.

- We launched in 2012 with one simple goal: to enable everyone to do amazing things with their data.-

We use our cultural values as our north stars and even have an always active culture committee that is dedicated to ensuring that our culture is maintained and evolves as we grow.
- **We're all a little weird**: and we like it that way. We're more than just chat avatars; we've all gotten to know each other, have grown together, and love working with each other.
