Senior UI Engineer

About the role

Dashworks is the first and only place you need to go to find or discover knowledge about anyone or anything at work. We’re on a path to redesigning the future of collaboration and knowledge sharing. We truly have a unique opportunity to build a category-defining product (and company!) that gets used by millions every day.

We have reached a pivotal stage in our journey:

• After coming out of stealth last year, we launched our self-serve offering in Q4 2022 and are growing rapidly
• We’ve built an exceptional team with high talent density, coming from Microsoft Bing, Amazon Alexa, Google, Facebook, Atlassian, and other incredible places.
• We are very well funded: over $9.5M raised to date from many of the top early-stage investors.

Joining right now would mean you get to ride the wave of explosive top-of-the-funnel growth yet get meaningful equity in a pre-series A startup.

As an early engineer to join our team, you'll have the opportunity to materially impact and scale not just the company's product but also the team and the culture. You'll get to drive key product initiatives end to end and work alongside exceptionally strong co-workers who learn quickly and ship quality work.

You’ll join a small-yet-mighty team of 15 as a product engineer. This will involve:

1. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including UX designers, product managers, and developers, to create intuitive, visually appealing, and accessible user interfaces.
2. Design and develop responsive, high-performance UI components using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and popular UI frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js.
3. Implement design principles, color theory, typography, and layout to create aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly interfaces.
4. Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to visualize and test design concepts and iterate based on user feedback and data-driven insights.
5. Ensure that all designs adhere to accessibility standards and best practices, providing an exceptional user experience for people with varying abilities and disabilities.
6. Optimize UI components for performance, ensuring fast load times and smooth interactions across devices and platforms.
7. Use version control systems, such as Git, to manage and deploy code and collaborate effectively with the development team.
8. Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to continually improve the quality of our products and the efficiency of our processes.
9. Provide mentorship and guidance to junior UI engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

You qualify if you have the following:

1. Expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern UI frameworks and libraries
2. Strong understanding of responsive design, accessibility, UX design, and performance optimization.
3. Proficiency in design tools such as Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, or InVision.
4. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and critical thinking skills.
5. Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with experience working in cross-functional teams.
6. A keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of user needs and preferences.
7. Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and adapt to changing priorities.
