About the role

We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to join our early engineering team and drive our product development. If you’re someone who thrives on high ownership, can figure stuff out on your own and wants to be part of the zero-to-one journey, this might be for you.

What you’ll do

As we’re still early at building a dedicated frontend team, responsibilities will have breadth over a lot of cool stuff 🙌

• Realise Pixel-Perfect Designs: Develop Pixel-Perfect end-to-end network optimised, responsive Web Apps;

• Write Robust & Reusable Code: Write clean, maintainable and reusable code and libraries for cross project sharing with solid test coverage;

• Drive Performance in Frontend: Optimising performance of existing & future applications for full scale production deployments

• Work directly with product, design and the backend teams to contribute to the product roadmap

And after all of it of-course, be ready to jam to this every time we push to prod – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9QNUcrjtOs🔥;

What you’ll do

• If you can write code that works, we should be good but read on (disclaimer: most of what follows is not a hard requirement);

• Preferred tech stacks: React & Next;

• You have 2-5 years of experience building and scaling frontend systems from scratch;

• You’ve built efficient, reusable code backed by solid test coverage in React or Vue.js (Brownie points if you have worked with state management libraries like Redux);

• You have optimised performance and builds for frontend deployments at scale ;

• Most of the above is us trying to sound legit about our stack, so if you’ve not worked with some of it & are open to learning or have better ideas, it’s totally cool;

Salary and Location

Location: Bangalore

Expected CTC: We pay top of market for the right folks and also offer generous equity (ESOP) to everyone in the team

Our Way Of Life

Over time we’ve realised that while we’re super excited about shaping the future of commerce, a big part of why people join us and stick with us is because they resonate with our way of life. You could call it work culture – but it ends up becoming more than just that.

It’s taken us time to discover and articulate what our culture feels like, this evolving document is an attempt to candidly share what it’s like working at BiteSpeed – https://www.notion.so/bitespeed/Way-Of-Life-At-BiteSpeed-44d9b9614d9641419da910189b1e9f8e

Our Purpose

At BiteSpeed, work is personal. You could blame this on us being existential, but most of us are spending the best years of our lives doing this and we want to be purposeful about the kind of workplace we’re trying to create.

Our purpose is about why we’re here and what we care about:-

• Personal Transformation

• Wealth Creation

• Winning Together

Our Values

Our values are about how we do what we do. Values define the right thing to do. We hire, reward and sometimes have to let go based on our values.

We have 5 core values:-

• Go Above And Beyond

• Making Things Happen

• Say It Like It Is

• Progress Over Perfection

• Don’t Take Yourself Seriously, Take Your Work Seriously

Perks & Benefits

Small things we’ve done to ensure we take care of our wellness, learning & keep things fun:-

• Health Insurance – Health insurance cover and accident coverage for extra cushion and mental peace when rainy days hit us

• Work From Home Budget – Your gadget quirks are taken care of with our WFH budget, whether its a standing desk to burn those extra calories or showing off your cool desk setup, we’ve got you covered

• Quarterly Offsites – Quarterly offsites are a core part of the BiteSpeed culture. Our offsites range from intense quarter planning sessions to crazy mafia nights and competitive cricket matches (with a lot of trash talking)

• Cult Fitness Membership – All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Cult Fit and Cult Play passes to make sure we hit the gym more often

• Personal Development – We sponsor courses, conference tickets, books on a case to case basis to ensure we’re constantly growing

• Unlimited Leaves – We trust people to make good decisions on when they need a break and for how long (leave management systems are expensive, but that’s a separate discussion)

• Salary In Advance – Trust first, by default. We pay out salaries in the first week of the month

Know someone who might be a great fit? Refer them to us, if they end up joining we’ll send you an Apple AirPods Pro as a gesture of thanks!
