Lovevery is a mission-driven company, passionate about helping every parent feel confident that they are giving their child the very best experiences in early childhood. Our team believes in the power of combining physical play products with digital education and support to create an ecosystem for parents that is unmatched by any other brand. We are looking for a Senior Front-end Engineer to join our team that owns the full end-to-end shopping experience as well as our digital content and community platform. You’ll work on every aspect of our customer journey from product discovery to becoming a subscriber to engaging with our rich, stage-based parent education platform. You will do it all with a platform focus in mind - scaling our global subscription ecommerce platform to millions of customers and continuously looking for opportunities to enhance our technology, increase velocity and maintain a high quality bar.

• Are Pragmatic – You will be building new digital products in this role, adding features to existing ecommerce platforms, and integrating third party solutions to create the best experience in the most pragmatic way. You must have the ability to look beyond the current technology stack to get things done.
• Are Product-Minded - You will define the ideal technical solution and roadmap, keeping a customer-focus in mind, and be able to prioritize business trade-offs for each roadmap item.
• Are Quality-Focused - You will be a champion for building things in a robust, scalable way and developing automation and monitoring to prevent regressions that will impact customers' experience with Lovevery.
