Senior Frontend Web Engineer

First off, this description is a wishlist, not a checklist. We want to find a super-amazing person to join our team, and we’re well aware that “super-amazing” can come in all different forms. If you’re a little less experienced on a specific bullet point, apply anyway. We look at candidates, not resumes.

• Work with backend and mobile engineers to identify potential API improvements

• Excellent communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, especially in written form

• Ability to own a feature from inception to deployment

• Critical thinking to identify problems and propose solutions

• Curiosity & self-motivation, ability to manage time and priorities with little supervision

• Familiarity with end-to-end testing (Playwright), Node (server-side rendering), Github Actions, AWS stack, Tizen and/or webOS TV platforms

• Mentorship experience

• Familiarity with agile methodologies

• An eye and a love for small details

Perks

• Competitive salary between $115,000-$140,000 USD or local international equivalent. We do not use formal job titles internally and similarly named positions may have different compensation levels. Actual starting salary will depend on various considerations, including: work experience, skills, specializations, training, and location.

• Flexible work hours and vacation policy.

• Fully work-from-home.

• Diverse, socially-minded team of nice people.

• Medical, dental, and vision plans (for US-based employees).

About Us

Nebula is a sort-of talent management agency and production company for thoughtful YouTubers and podcasters. We do a lot of things, so it's hard to explain it all in a single paragraph, but our mission is to empower independent creators. Most of our time is spent talking or working with the creators directly, one on one or in a group, coming up with better tools and toys for them.

We're a distributed company. We have offices in NYC and Denver, but more than 80% of the team is remote, in exotic locations like the UK, the Netherlands, France, and Ohio.

There are things to do and meetings to be had, but we pride ourselves on our flexibility. We think this makes Standard a great place to work for people with families, or whose productive hours tend to be outside of the 9-5. We care about what you do more than when you do it.

How We Hire

We think that diversity is important. Many of us have non-traditional backgrounds. We work in the online education space, so we understand how much can be learned on your own, on the Internet, outside of a classroom.

We're looking for people who are curious and passionate. Our team should be made up of people of all sorts of backgrounds, gender identities, and bodies who can help to expand our perspective and improve our ability to treat our creators and our audience with thoughtfulness and empathy.

If that sounds like you, we're happy to care less how many years of experience you have or where you went to school. Apply anyway. And if you have any feedback on how we could reach or appeal to a more diverse pool of talent, get in touch.
