We are looking for seasoned Front End Engineers to join our team and help us build features into our already great app. You will be working on the Files.com platform, including all our client-facing web browser applications written primarily in JavaScript using React.

100% Remote Opportunity

The Files.com Engineering team is 100% remote. However, we travel for regular in-person meetings with the team and the entire company to meet and work together face to face. These meetings are in cities around the US, including Scottsdale, Austin, Orlando, New Orleans, San Diego, Las Vegas, and New York City.

In-person events combine work and fun and are designed to make up for the in-person interaction that occurs in an office job.

About the Role

As a Front End Engineer at Files.com, you will take the lead on helping build cutting edge features into the Files.com product that drive value for the 4,000 businesses that use our platform.

And here are some examples of projects that our Developers will be tackling in the next 6-12 months:

Implementing in-file search using Elasticsearch with custom input filters to index a plethora of document types.
