Front-End Engineer

At Yammer, our mission is to change the way people work, and that mission starts with us. We use our own product every day to promote and encourage our culture of openness and transparency. Yammer provides each user with a voice, empowering individuals to share ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns. We’re passionate about building a great product that people love to use, and we’re always on the lookout for similarly product-minded engineers to join us. Our Frontend engineering team works on a rich, complex client-side application. And at Yammer, engineers don’t just get handed specs and mocks to build — we work in an iterative and collaborative way with Product and Design to create the best possible user experience. So, we need people who are enthusiastic, who ask great questions, who have strong opinions but aren’t afraid to admit when they’re wrong, and who enjoy collaborating with a cross-functional team. At Yammer we hire smart people, expect them to learn and grow, and trust them to make day-to-day decisions. We care most about creating products people love – to enable that, we move quickly (pushing code to production at least daily), we iterate, and we value learning over shipping features. Sound interesting? If so, we’d love to talk to you and share more about what it’s like to work at Yammer.

Requirements:

– Passion for shipping great software people actually want to use

– Yearning to constantly learn new skills and refine existing ones

– Deep knowledge of JavaScript, CSS and HTML

– Familiarity with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Backbone and Underscore

– Detailed understanding of cross browser support issues

– Solid understanding of cross browser rendering and performance issues

– Excellent written and verbal communication abilities

What you’d be working on:

– Building features to help people communicate and get stuff done

– Sitewide redesign

– Building tools to help us ship code faster
