Senior Frontend Engineer

Chartbeat’s intuitive and powerful software has long empowered media brands to use their own data to build loyal audiences across desktop, social, and mobile platforms. With easy-to-use real-time and historical analytics, in-page optimization and testing tools, and unique insights into audience engagement, Chartbeat’s products bring value to editorial, product, and business teams. Earlier this year, Chartbeat joined forces with Tubular, the leader in global social video intelligence and measurement. Tubular provides a unified view of the shifting values and interests of audiences across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and more. Together, we’re expanding the ecosystem of insights we provide to enterprise content creators who are developing audiences and revenue streams across channels. By joining two comprehensive network-level datasets, we’ll help our partners understand and measure a larger proportion of audience interactions and, in turn, make smarter decisions that grow reach and revenue. We now serve more than 1,000 brands globally, including influential content publishers like The New York Times, the BBC, ESPN, Gannett, Vox, BuzzFeed, Paramount, WB, Mediahuis, Hearst, McClatchy, and GQ.

The Team

Chartbeat’s frontend applications use an exciting array of technologies. Project stacks typically include modern libraries like React, Redux, Victory, Chart.js and D3 for data visualization, and a development environment based on npm, Webpack, and Babel for strong modularity and the latest Javascript language features. Our codebase also includes legacy systems that use Angular and Django.

We are seeking a curious frontend engineer to join us on this adventure by helping build the components, systems, and dashboards that newsrooms use to learn about and grow their audiences.

Responsibilities

As a frontend engineer at Chartbeat, you’ll spend the bulk of your time building single-page web applications in Javascript and React. You will be on a small cross-functional project team (typically, a few engineers, a designer, a data scientist, and a product manager) that will define your day-to-day activity — your team will collaborate to plan sprint goals and execute on those goals. You will also represent the frontend team to diagnose and squash bugs as they arise. As a member of the larger engineering organization, you’ll participate in team meetings, discussions and learning/teaching opportunities.
