About us

Named “The Fastest Growing Retailer in the US", Dolls Kill is a fashion brand that boldly empowers young women to celebrate their individuality. Our customers would rather give an enthusiastic "f you" than conform to the contrived styles of today’s fashion industry… and we help them do it. We have an amazing team of retail leaders, scrappy hackers, and fashion trendsetters who are fun to work with and serious about what they do. We’re based in San Francisco and backed by strong consumer-focused venture investors.

About the Role

As a Front-End Developer, you’ll be part of a team of engineers, product managers, and designers responsible for making our website a fun, engaging, and inspiring shopping experience for our customers. You’ll own CSS, HTML, and JavaScript updates and will write code that is performant, fault-tolerant, maintainable, testable, and concise… all while ensuring that the products and features you build align with new industry trends and innovations.

If you love what we stand for, the products we sell, and are passionate about building world-class shopping experiences, then come join the Dolls Kill team. We have a casual and fun office environment that actively steers clear of rigid "corporate" culture, focuses on productivity and creativity, and allows you to be part of a world class team while still being yourself.
