Job description

We work hard. We’re helping businesses get off the ground, by simplifying payroll, benefits, payments and compliance needs, enabling them to focus on what matters. Thousands of people already use our product and we’re just getting started. We’re data driven and never stop inventing new ways to improve.

Working at Justworks, you’ll enjoy company happy hours, a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, and the ability to interact with and learn from prominent leaders in the startup community.

If you want to work in a fast paced environment, build something meaningful and have fun while doing it, we would love to hear from you.

-Build javascript-driven, customer-facing interfaces
-Work with the product team to create a simple, intuitive experience
-Evaluate development tools and making architectural decisions
-Keep extremely sensitive data compartmentalized and secure
-Recruit world-class talent to our team

Who you are:

-Minimum of 3 years of professional hands-on experience
-Strong object-oriented design and coding skills
-Working knowledge of server-side programing languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, etc)
-Experience with at least one front-end javascript framework (React, Angular, Backbone, etc)
-Strong CSS skills
-Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms
