Amplemarket seeks Frontend Software Engineers with experience in designing and maintaining large-scale user interfaces. While familiarity with React, HTML, and CSS is important, we value your ability to learn and adaptability even more. A strong attention to detail and a collaborative approach to working with design teams will help you excel in this role.

However, we also work in a broader tech environment that encompasses tools like Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Redis. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with every technology—we appreciate a learning mindset!

No, prior experience with Amplemarket's tech stack is not a strict requirement. We welcome candidates who are willing to learn and grow. If you have a solid foundation in frontend development and a passion for building engaging user experiences, you are encouraged to apply!

Amplemarket promotes a collaborative and inclusive company culture where creativity and autonomy are highly valued. As a Frontend Software Engineer, you’ll work closely with our engineering team and engage in open discussions about design and user experience.
