Staff Software Engineer, Web (React)

Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer, Web to the Engineering team.

Why join Sprout’s Engineering team ?

Sprout empowers over 30,000 global brands to harness the power of social media, operating on a true "tech-giant" scale. Every day, our engineering infrastructure processes tens of billions of requests and asynchronous events, ingests billions of social messages, and drives over 1,000 production deployments every month, all while embedding cutting-edge AI directly into our platform.

Sprout Engineering sits at the intersection of massive scale, technical craft, and tight-knit collaboration across mobile, front-end, back-end, and site reliability engineering. Instead of being a small cog in a massive machine, you’ll solve complex distributed systems problems alongside exceptional peers in an environment built for high autonomy and fast execution. Because our platform is a multi-product suite, you have the unique opportunity to explore new technologies, shift across domains, and continuously diversify your skills without ever needing to change companies—accelerating your career while making a direct impact on our customers every single day.

What you’ll do

• Write clean, performant, and maintainable code.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to other team members, including junior engineers.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including backend developers, designers, and product managers, to deliver world class customer experiences.
• Participate in and conduct code reviews to maintain code quality, provide feedback, and ensure adherence to coding standards.
• Continuously improve the codebase by identifying areas for refactoring and optimization to enhance maintainability and scalability.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for a creative, highly motivated, and inquisitive learner to build great software with us. If you confidently write web applications using TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML and CSS, we’d love to talk with you!

The minimum qualifications for this role include

• 7+ years of experience with planning, building, and releasing frontend applications with web technologies (React, JavaScript, TypeScript)
• Experience building web applications with TypeScript
• Professional English proficiency in verbal and written communication

Preferred qualifications for this role include

• Experience working as a full stack engineer.
• Experience working with Node.js
• Experience working in a large codebase

How you’ll grow

Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including

• Complete Sprout’s New Hire training program alongside other new Sprout team members.
• Deliver business value by shipping your first code change with active pairing/mentoring from your teammates.
• Learn how code is deployed to our end users through collaboration with front end developers on your team.
• Have a firm understanding of the team’s roadmap and the team’s Agile processes by having discussions with your team’s manager.

Within 3 months, you’ll start hitting your stride by

• Independently own and deliver the front end part of small to medium features without peer consultation
• Adhere to the team’s engineering best practices, such as testing expectations, shared patterns, and documentation.
• Openly communicate with all disciplines of the team, including back-end engineers, product design and product managers, in order to move the team’s work forward.
• Contribute to team processes by participating in team activities, such as code review, estimation, technical specification planning, collaboration in requirements definition, and contribution of feedback during retrospectives.

Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:

• Author a technical specification plan for a roadmap project and collaborate with teammates to create an agreed upon delivery plan.
• Mentor junior teammates to provide guidance and coaching on code implementation, design review, and other software engineering and Agile practices.
• Understand how the team uses React and Typescript frameworks and be comfortable explaining relevant details to other engineers.
• Collaborate effectively with product managers to ensure that projects are delivered on time and with quality.
• Understand the how we structure, build and deploy the apps and be comfortable explaining relevant details to other engineers.
• Have knowledge of your team’s target customer base and their most common use cases within the application.

Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:

• Have an understanding of all aspects of our web application, including every module, less common use cases and all the Personas within our user base.
• Demonstrate end-to-end responsibility for delivering roadmap projects on time, from technical planning to performing/guiding implementation to testing to final delivery.
• Balance the continuum of trade-offs during code design, knowing that solutions can favor faster delivery with less strict technical requirements or solutions can favor future technical maintainability with delayed delivery of customer value.
• Identify a technical initiative (e.g. technical debt, introduction of a new system, need for a new JavaScript dependency, performance improvement, etc) for your team.

Of course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.
