Description

The mobile web is hard to use yet it now represents the majority of traffic for big online commerce brands. The Moovweb Platform fixes the web and powers the fastest, smoothest sites (spend a few minutes browsing aroundhttps://pwa.www.1800flowers.com/ ). By making an early bet on the mobile web, we've grown to the point where ⅓ of Americans visit a Moovweb-powered experience every month.

Moovweb powers an Experience Delivery Network (XDN) that currently powers mobile web, responsive, web, app, and voice experiences for ⅓ of Americans each month and is trusted by some of the largest brands in the country including United Airlines, Harley Davidson, Nordstrom, 1800Flowers, four of the top seven US insurance brands, and a number of the top 50 banks. In the last two years, we've expanded our product from a niche mobile web add-on tool to a full-fledged XDN presentation layer and are experiencing a resurgence of growth.

We are looking for a highly motivated, experienced front-end Software Engineer to be a part of building the next generation of mobile products on the Moovweb platform. These include mobile/tablet websites, Progressive Web Applications (PWA), Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) and hybrid applications for all mobile devices.
