About the job
At TerraTrue, we’re building the future of privacy and security. Our intelligent workflow solution allows privacy and security teams to collaborate seamlessly with the rest of the business, build and manage custom assessment workflows, and respond to in-app guidance powered by the world’s privacy laws. This innovative approach to privacy is why companies like Robinhood, Lyft, Roku, and Foursquare are using TerraTrue to move fast and get privacy right. They love our integrations, our easy-to-use interface, and most of all, they love working with our people.
That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a frontend engineer who shares our passion, our pride in ego-less collaboration, and our drive to build incredible things. But that’s not all. We’re building a company where collegiality, respect, and good old-fashioned generosity of spirit are non-negotiable traits. After all, the only way we know how to build products that let other teams thrive is by building a company where our own team thrives. This is a chance to transform how modern companies build privacy into what they design, ship a product that users love, and help chart the course of privacy and innovation.
What you’d be responsible for:
You’re passionate about crafting responsive, intuitive applications that users genuinely enjoy. In this role, you’ll design, build, and test new client-facing features using React and Typescript while working closely with a talented engineering team, as well as experts in product, privacy, and security. Your insights and technical expertise will help shape key product decisions, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take ownership of major projects. With a fast-paced development cycle and frequent releases, you won’t have to wait long to see your work make a real impact.
We're looking for people who have:
- Education: BS degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent experience.
- Experience: 3-7+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on frontend development using modern JavaScript frameworks.
- Expertise in React with a deep understanding of component-based architecture, state management, and knowledge of the latest web standards; proficiency with Typescript is a strong plus.
- End-to-End Feature Development with involvement throughout the lifecycle of frontend features, from ideation and design collaboration to implementation, testing, and deployment.
- Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams, partnering closely with backend engineers, product managers, and designers to build cohesive and thoughtful user experiences.
- Proven track record of ownership and initiative by demonstrating the ability to work independently and drive projects forward.
- Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment with a willingness to take on challenges, iterate quickly, and adapt as needed.
