We're proud to be a Washington Post 2019 "Top Workplace" (https://topworkplaces.com/publication/washington/fundrise/) and #35 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 of fastest growing private companies. We exclusively hire creative, collaborative, and results-driven people with a penchant for bold ideas and an obsession with solving problems.

Job Summary

We're seeking a talented, passionate front-end developer to help us realize our vision of a world-class online investing experience. You will work on a daily basis with the engineering, marketing, design, and product teams to improve existing features on the website and implement new ones, constantly iterating and improving them along the way.

This position will take responsibility for and have ownership over the translation of design comps with varying levels of fidelity into semantically correct, organized, performant code. Our team is small, so you will have a chance to have a significant and immediate impact on our growing user base and the overall success of our business. This means you'll have ownership over your work from approach through development to validating its performance in a production environment.

Ideally, you are:

* Pragmatic. Sometimes the best solution is the simplest and sometimes it's not. You think critically about the task at hand and are constantly discussing and evaluating the trade-offs in different approaches - recognizing there are different ways to solve a problem.
* Curious. You are naturally curious about things you don't understand and actively look for opportunities to grow and learn from those around you.
* Detail-oriented. You care deeply about the quality of your work and recognize the value in consistency. You know when 80/20 solutions are sufficient and when that extra push can make all the difference.

Requirements

* 4+ years professional experience as a front-end developer.
* Excellent knowledge of the potential and shortcomings of a variety of browsers, operating systems, and screen sizes.
* Experience with source control and repository management (git).
* Superior written and verbal communication skills.
* Experience working with different teams and stakeholders.
* Used to receiving and providing critical, constructive feedback.

Core skill areas:

* Javascript (via Angular)
* HTML
* CSS (via Sass)
