Senior Front End Vue.js Engineer (OCTO)

OCTO (Office of the CTO) is a team at Kong working directly with the CTO that has the privilege to build features and products that keep Kong relevant in the years to come without being bound to the engineering and customer roadmaps. As an OCTO Front End engineer you will be working on forward-thinking and exciting features with a strong focus on innovation. You will be responsible for keeping Kong relevant in the future, discovering and producing cutting edge industry trends and use-cases. Since working in uncharted territories requires constant feedback, you will work with early users and customers to gather that feedback and iterate on solutions. Whenever something OCTO builds becomes very successful we know it’s time to hand it off to the engineering team to make it part of the roadmap. As such, you will get to work with other teams at Kong in order to integrate your work into the public product offering.
