About Dashworks

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 launching our knowledge assistant for work in July, we're now growing our customer base and product rapidly
• We've raised more than $9.5m from top investors in Silicon Valley, such as Y Combinator, and founders/operators from companies like Dropbox, Retool, and Twitch.
• We have a small but exceptional team with high talent density from places like Stanford AI Lab, Meta AI, DoorDash, Instacart, Amazon, etc.

Joining right now would mean you 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 shape the user experience of our innovative software product. Utilize your expertise in frontend technologies and creative flair to build intuitive, visually appealing, high-performance user interfaces. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional software solutions and drive the success of our SaaS platform.

Your role

You’ll join a small-yet-mighty team of 12 as a frontend-focused engineer. This will involve:

1. UI/UX development: Collaborate with our designers and other engineers to drive new features and improvements to the core Dash AI product. The frontend stack is React/Typescript, and the backend is Python/AWS.
2. Performance Optimization: Strive to deliver top-notch performance by optimizing frontend code, reducing load times, and enhancing overall user experience across different devices and browsers.
3. Cross-Browser and Device Compatibility: Ensure our software is accessible and works seamlessly on various browsers, devices, and screen sizes to maximize user reach.
4. Code Maintenance and Quality: Maintain clean and efficient code by following best practices and coding standards. Conduct code reviews and participate in technical discussions to uphold code quality.
5. Product Innovation: Stay updated with the latest front-end technologies, tools, and trends. Propose and implement new ideas to enhance the frontend architecture and improve the user experience.
6. User Feedback and Iteration: Utilize user feedback and data-driven insights to iterate on front-end designs and continuously improve the product's usability and performance.
7. Team Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including backend engineers, product managers, and designers, to ensure seamless integration and timely delivery of features.
8. Knowledge Sharing: Share your knowledge and expertise with the team, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.

You qualify if you have the following:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Frontend Developer, preferably in a SaaS or software product development environment.
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue.js).
• Strong understanding of UI/UX design principles, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Experience with version control systems like Git and familiarity with modern frontend build tools and workflows.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks and methodologies to ensure high-quality code.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a fast-paced startup environment.
