 Here's what a Front End SWE does at Balto:

Are you a front end software engineer? Do you thrive on high-performing, rapidly growing teams? Do you love getting to dabble in both deep-dive R&D projects and crucial feature delivery across multiple products and technologies? Balto is looking for frontend and backend engineers at all levels. 

Specifically, we’re looking for a front end software engineer to join our startup, grow alongside the organization, and take a significant role in defining and building the category of Real-Time Speech Analytics.

The ideal candidate always has an eye toward reducing tech-debt, loves a crisp implementation, and can appreciate the value of a smile and a deep breath during an important architectural debate...oops, we mean discussion.

What kinds of responsibilities might you take on?

• Implementing the features that will thrill our customers (and they aren’t shy about sharing it) cement our place as the #1 Real-Time Guidance and crafts our architecture to continue to 5x the number of active users over and over.
• Maintaining code quality through standard, lightweight best practices, like testing, code reviews, and design docs.
• Communicating with peers, leads, and Engineering Managers about reducing technical debt, prioritizing refactors, and ideas to increase stability and scalability across the architecture.  

So what does it take to fulfill this crucial role?

Technical Requirements:

• 3+ years professional work experience with JavaScript (React/Redux, Node) 
• 3+ years professional work experience with Unix-y things: Git (Github), Bash, Ubuntu, Docker

Nice to Have:

• Relational database (Postgresql or MySQL) experience

We have plenty of benefits. Baltonians rave about these the most.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance to make quality healthcare affordable.
• Life insurance to protect your loved ones in the worst-case scenario.
• 401k to save for your retirement. 
• Unlimited Paid Time Off to give you the flexibility to make relaxation, family, and community priorities.
• Parental leave for you to spend that precious time with your newest family member.
• Generous stock options, so you can be a meaningful owner of the company as it grows.
• A quarterly professional development of stipend of $1,000 to inspire continuous professional growth. You can use it for nearly anything that makes you a better version of yourself - from chess lessons to college courses (this one is definitely a crowd-favorite).

• "Coming together as a team to build something innovative and unique." 
• "Contagious energy that keeps me motivated all day."
• "I L-O-V-E it at Balto since day one! They know how to have fun while getting the work done."

Is Balto named after that Cartoon Dog?

Well, kind of - that cartoon dog was actually named after a real dog. Balto successfully guided his pack through a harrowing journey across Nome, Alaska, in 1925 to deliver medicine to the ice-locked town. We liked the metaphor: our technology guides people to be successful throughout their conversations, scouting ahead and providing helpful support. Just like in 1925, a human is still in charge, but humans (and dogs) are always better off with a companion. 

Fun Fact: After his journey, Balto was recognized as a hero with a commemorative statue in Central Park. We've visited, and he looked like this.

P.S.

Please share the role with your friends. Don't worry; you won't compete for the position; we're happy to hire two (or more) candidates. The door is always open for great people.
