We’ve made terrific progress working in this new space, but we’ve only just scratched the surface on how we can apply technology to this problem.
As a Front End Engineer on our Search & Discovery team, you will enable the next generation of our discovery experience by building ambitious web applications, on the edge of what is possible with today's browsers.

- Have a solid understanding of JavaScript fundamentals and also understand the complexities of the DOM and CSS, especially how they interact
- Know and understand the implications of the latest developments in ECMAScript
- Navigate and write backend code where necessary
- React experience a plus
We believe a broad spectrum of experience provides a great perspective on solving problems in new and innovative ways. If your background doesn't check all the boxes above, but you are passionate about front end engineering, we’d still love to hear from you.
Who you would work with:
- You would join a dynamic, multinational, and diverse team who enjoy solving interesting problems in a collaborative and distributed environment
