Quizlet | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | CONTRACT

Quizlet is looking for a frontend web engineer to work with our team to help complete our website redesign. We're about 50% finished and wish to accelerate completion. This is a short-term contract position for 2 months, with no expectation of converting to full-time. We'd like at least the first three weeks onsite with option to work remote for the balance of the engagement.

This short-term role is great for engineers looking for a flexible gig. You'll have the opportunity to work with a high-caliber, fast-moving team on a large-scale product — over 20M people use Quizlet learning activities every month. You'll be working with ES6/React/Stylus and contributing code on day one.

Some examples of what you will do:

  - Bring mockups to life with ES6/React/Stylus
  - Improve frontend performance
  - Collaborate with the product manager to identify and fix issues
  - Work with the team to ensure deadlines are understood and met
Qualifications

  - Must be available to work in our San Francisco office full-time — preferably starting by mid-November
  - At least 1 year experience working on frontend web applications — experience with git and React is preferred
  - Self-starter — you can find out answers on your own and know when to ask questions
  - Detail-oriented — you sweat over the details
  - Team-oriented — you enjoy collaborating with other team members to create your best work
  - Passion for education and/or doing good in the world — you are excited about the impact your work will have in the lives of students and teachers every day
