We want people who are passionate about building apps that you and your peers will love.

We are looking for an experienced, product-focused Sr. Software Engineer I, UI who shares our passion for making complex applications appear simple for our customers. We'll give you the freedom to do what you do best, so you should feel comfortable owning your work from start to finish, as well as bringing fresh ideas to the table that can make our products, development experience, and team better. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers across the stack to make ideas a reality. Our current stack consists of React, TypeScript, and GraphQL, though we also continue to support our legacy Ember application.

What You'll Be Doing:

• As part of our UI Engineering team, leading and building DigitalOcean's suite of customer-facing products
• Collaborating with Product and Design to improve user experience with simplicity for our customers as a core value

• Working with backend teams to solve complex problems with broad impact
• Mentoring engineers to help them grow
• Contributing to technical designs, and reviewing technical designs submitted by others.
• Triaging and resolving internal and external bugs.

What We'll Expect From You:

• Passion for solving our customer's problems, and delivering value in the products we build for them
• Experience in product Frontend development working closely with Backend developers and services, Product Management, and Design/UX
• Building front-end components interacting with GraphQL, gRPC, and REST API.
• Have a mastery-level understanding of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML
• Strong experience building and deploying single-page applications at scale
• Experience with modern JavaScript application frameworks such as React, but ability to think outside the framework

Why You'll Like Working for DigitalOcean

• We innovate with purpose. You'll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions.
• We prioritize career development. At DO, you'll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry.
