The Senior Front-end Engineer role

Why we want to hire this role now

  • We started Chameleon after being frustrated at poor user onboarding and feeling required to speak with sales before we could start using new products.
    • As engineers, we want to solve the hardest problems and apply our creativity to design beautiful software. It’s tedious to build and maintain tooltips, banners, or checklists; we built Chameleon to let the product people handle that independently while letting engineers focus on the core value proposition a product provides.
    • Chameleon exists as a layer between our customers’ web applications and their users. This means that the software we build is for our thousands of customers and tens of millions of their end-users.
    • As we gain more customers, they require our software to handle more and growing use cases. The way web applications are built is changing rapidly; UX patterns are getting smarter; organizations are embracing the product-led movement.
  • As software becomes more self-serve, we will stay ahead of the curve to better enable software around the world.
    • Better handle the scale and volume of data we receive
    • Build out brand new products that help our customers more successfully engage their users
    • Continue to improve on-page performance while adding more complexity
    • Enhance the functionality and UX of the existing product to make it more accessible to brand-new customers and non-technical users
    • Build workflows to support larger teams (e.g. roles/permissions) and more usage (a team having hundreds of “campaigns” within Chameleon)
