Hello, my name is Logan Grimsley, Front-end Architect at Metabolic, and I need your help. Ive spent my career building intuitive, responsive, and aesthetically pleasing platforms that simplify the buying process and ensure seamless navigation. I joined Metabolic four years ago to enhance our customer experience, engagement, and ultimately sales.
To that end, Im seeking a talented Front-End Developer as we continue to grow and innovate. You will be instrumental in helping us further refine the customer journey, enhance our brand's digital identity, and continue to provide a superior user experience that sets us apart in the e-commerce space.
Whats the Team Environment Like?
Having learned from my previous experiences, Ive gone to great lengths to set up an environment that allows us to move quickly, avoid bottlenecks and have the tools we need to do our jobs best, including:
- Agile Methodology Our teams work in short sprints, allowing for frequent feedback and iterations.
- Modern Tech Stack We use the latest tools and technologies in the market, ensuring you're always learning.
- Open Communication We foster a culture of transparency and openness, where every opinion counts
- Remote-first Culture We provide the software tools and resources for effective remote working and collaboration
- Continuous Learning We encourage professional development, providing learning resources and regular knowledge-sharing sessions
My ideal candidate is someone who has spent time in the trenches fine-tuning your craft. You've gotten your hands dirty with version control systems like Git, and you've spent countless hours turning the complexities of RESTful APIs into something manageable and meaningful. Youre comfortable with JavaScript, Vue.js, HTML, and CSS, and have proven that you can create interfaces that are not just functional but also engaging and user-friendly. Were sticklers for design, so CSS mastery is a must in this role. ;)
But it's not just about technical prowess. You understand the big picture of web development, the journey from a simple sketch to a live, dynamic website. You're not just writing code but optimizing it for speed and scalability. You're a team player, but also know when to take the reins and steer a project home. And even with all your experience, you're always eager to learn, keeping up with the latest in front-end development trends and tech.
Does this sound like you? Then you might just be the person we're looking for.
What Will You Be Working On?
- Web Application Development Building user-friendly web interfaces and integrating them with backend services
- Breathe Life into Designs Working with our exceptional UX team, youll transform their creative concepts into functional and engaging user interfaces, bringing their visions to fruition
- API Integration Implementing seamless integration with third-party APIs to enrich our platform's functionality
- Performance Optimization Ensuring the web application is fast and efficient, providing the best user experience possible
- Testing and Debugging Writing test cases and debugging applications to ensure code quality and functionality and working closely with our QA team to ensure a bug-free experience
We have a human-first culture that puts the needs of our team first. We combine dedicated time for deep work to deliver world-class performance with a standard set of rhythms that allow us to stay aligned, be transparent, and eliminate office politics.
Who Are We and How Are We Different?
Our mission is simple: make living healthy easier than living unhealthy. We empower people to fix their own health with 4 key things that make us different:
- Metabolism-First After 12 years of trial-and-error with 500k+ people, weve found optimizing your metabolism delivers the results you want: feeling your best, looking your best, performing your best and living longer. Your metabolism is your inner compass for health, but most people dont understand how to read it; once you do, itll tell you exactly how to thrive.
- Individualized-Approach Paleo may work great for one person, Vegan for another, Keto for another, etc. Everyones metabolism is different, so to achieve results that stick, those differences must be respected; if not, things will backfire. Thats why our approach is 100% customized to the individual there is no perfect program to find, it must be built to support how that persons unique metabolism works. This is where the standard one-size-fits-all solutions fail.
- Integrated Ecosystem Its too hard to live healthy lots of great individual solutions, but nothing is connected. Were left to stitch everything together, which is confusing. We simplify with our integrated ecosystem of offerings to optimize your metabolism. We started with nutrition, then exercise, then supplements, then coaching and are constantly adding new elements.
- Unified Platform All of our offerings are being combined into our proprietary Metabolic Optimization System (MetabolicOS) that unites practitioner wisdom and scientific research with machine learning to deliver a truly customized experience that helps dial in your metabolism at any stage of life. We expect this unification to be completed by Q1:24 with the launch of our app.
- 5 + Years of Front-End Experience Hands-on experience as a Senior Front-End Developer with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and preferably Vue.js (we use version 3) or similar frameworks
- Expert Level CSS Skills Proven CSS skills, with the ability to bring UX designs to life in pixel-perfect clarity at any resolution or device
- API Integration Proficiency in interfacing with RESTful APIs, you are adept at connecting different software components and ensuring seamless communication between systems
- Version Control You are familiar with Git or comparable version control systems and understand the importance of maintaining a structured and efficient codebase
- Driven to Excellence An ownership mentality with a relentless inner drive to excellence that other people who arent built that way find disturbingly intense :-)
- Exceptional English & Communication Skills A perceptive listener who quickly synthesize info and can formulate a methodical action plan that can be clearly articulated verbally and in writing
- Reliable Tools A high quality laptop and internet connection, as well as the ability to work during load shedding hours without interruption
