Muck Rack

Muck Rack’s engineering team powers a platform that is meaningfully changing how journalists, PR pros, and marketers around the world work. Self-funded, globally distributed, and remote-first since our founding, Crain’s named Muck Rack one of the “Best Places to Work in NYC” in 2019 and 2020. We’re looking for a collaborative and self-motivated Front-End Developer to join our small but quickly growing team and make a big impact. 

As a Front-End Developer you’ll work alongside the CTO, fellow software engineers, product managers, and designers, to ensure that our product looks great and works well with our clients. Our engineers are not siloed to any part of the application – everyone contributes everywhere.

If the details below describe you, you could be a great fit for this role:

  • 3+ years professional experience as a Front-End Developer focused on performance and profiling.
  • Possess strong communication skills and can explain ideas clearly, give and receive feedback, and work well with team members.
  • Have worked on complex, high-traffic sites at a startup or Software-as-a-Service company.
  • Understand multiple front-end frameworks (Vue, React, etc.).
  • Have been a part of planning and building front-end end-to-end and unit testing.
  • Are familiar with Linux or Unix environments and the command line.
  • Have demonstrable Python/Django experience
