At Vimeo, we love designing and engineering next-level tools that combine power with ease of use. More than any other team, the engineers who work on professional-grade video tools for creators have the opportunity to do way more than write code.
In this role, you will:
• Lead and manage the Creator Platform in development and technical discussions
• Drive the creation of high-performance tools that combine scalability with user experience
• Write clean, portable, and well-documented code
• Work closely with our Design and Product teams to move projects from conception to launch, while continuously iterating on product features
• Identify areas for optimization from both a performance and development workflow perspective
To join our team, you should:
• Have 5+ years of technical experience working on consumer-facing products
• Have experience directly leading engineering teams and processes
• Demonstrate a deep understanding of JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, and SASS
• Have experience with (and opinions on) existing JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular)
• Have strong experience developing within a dynamic web environment (Python, PHP, Ruby on Rails, etc.)
• Have an obsessive approach to performance and optimization
• Have a strong eye for product design and interactivity with unwavering attention to detail
• Be able to strategize for scale and efficiency: you think "big picture" and understand how individual parts fit into the whole of a website
• Have a BA or equivalent
Bonus points:
• Experience or knowledge of BEM
• Solid background in object-oriented programming for the web
• Strong portfolio or public code (Github, Bitbucket, etc.)
