What is the role?
dotCMS is a cloud-based Digital Experience platform changing how enterprises do digital. We seek a Senior Front-End developer to join our dynamic team.
As a Front-End Developer embedded in the Research and Development team, you will lead and assist in developing new functionalities for dotCMS. The ideal candidate for this role has advanced English skills, experience in Javascript, and expert-level hands-on experience with modern JS frameworks—Angular, Vue, or React.
We're proud to be 100% remote! dotCMS has been fully remote for over a decade and as an employee, you may work remotely from any location that is compatible with standard U.S. business hours (unless specified otherwise). Please note this is a Contractor full-time position, and we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
What is dotCMS?
Founded in 2003, dotCMS is the most agile, scalable and secure content management system for enterprise. Built on leading Java technology, dotCMS is an open-source, hybrid-headless content management system that gives developers the flexibility of a headless CMS while equipping marketers with no-code visual content authoring. Whether you're building a network of global websites, an employee intranet, a customer portal, or a single-page web application, dotCMS helps you manage content, images, and assets in one centralized location and deliver them to any channel. Some of our notable customers include Telus, Standard & Poors, Hospital Corporation of America, Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank, Comcast, Vodafone, Thomson Reuters, Dairy Queen, Lennox International, Chewy.com, and O’Reilly Autoparts.
Who are we, really?
At “the dot,” you’ll find a diverse team of authentic individuals who share the goal of building the most agile, scalable, and secure content management system, delighting customers, and having a lot of fun doing it. We’re a curious, innovative, and collaborative group that works from anywhere, having been 100% remote long before a pandemic required it. Working remotely is in our DNA, whether it’s to enjoy the beautiful views of new countries or just more “you” time outside of work. And since we don’t gather around the water cooler in an office, we like to gather around the cool waters of Costa Rica a few times a year for our regular off-sites, where we blow off some steam and re-energize as a group.
What you’ll bring to the team:
Work with the R&D team to develop new user-facing features.
Build reusable code and libraries.
Collaborate with team members and stakeholders to design and implement new features.
Collaborate with team members and stakeholders to enhance the usability of existing features.
Help enforce UI/UX consistencies across the system.
Optimize application for maximum speed and scalability.
When needed, work with the marketing team and stakeholders to implement changes and enhancements to the dotCMS starter site and dotcms.com
