👩🏼‍💻Work with smart, passionate people every day

Engineering Team Culture

Getting Stuff Done, Ownership, Team Work, Excellence, and Agility.

You should join us if you want to ship stuff fast without sacrificing quality. We've put great importance on testing our code, cleaning it, treating errors first, and features later.

We also value growth and ownership. People make mistakes. We learn from them to avoid them in the future. We cannot achieve excellence if there are no bumps in the road.

About the Team

The In-App Analytics squad is responsible for building our in-product analytics experience. We are at the forefront of events-driven architecture here at Gorgias, and we are building an internal platform for all the product teams to extend their offering with user-facing reporting and analytics features.

We aim to craft building blocks that multiple other product-engineering teams will use to build their application features. We follow data mesh principles and are part of the governance and standards-setting team for data and events-related topics at Gorgias.

The scope of our work goes beyond analytics, we are building a real-time application experience using Apache Flink on top of Apache Kafka.

Our team includes data, backend, and frontend engineers so that we can provide the Gorgias engineering teams with an end-to-end platform experience.

What You'll Do

  • Build reusable Analytics components like Charts, filters, and navigation in TypeScript, React, ReactJS, etc.

  • Build the platform's core metrics. The core domain consists of Tickets, Agents, and Customer entities. Together with the Product team, you will define the best visualization and UX that will help our Merchants deliver the best customer support to their shoppers.

  • As an engineer, you'll guide and help other teams onboard into our In-App Analytics platform and assist them in understanding how to accomplish their use cases based on our Platform capabilities.

    • As part of this journey, you'll produce artifacts like documentation, UI-Kit, and Storybook to facilitate the onboarding of other teams.

    • You'll identify common patterns surfacing on different squads and consider bringing them to be supported as part of the platform, constantly iterating to improve it and keep engineering productivity high in all scopes of Data & Analytics.

  • As an engineer, you will receive training, support, and mentorship from our senior engineers and will have the opportunity to grow through Fronted Chapter initiatives.

  • If you have little experience with TypeScript, we will happily introduce you to the world of type inference and safety.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of experience with JavaScript and/or TypeScript.

  • You understand the FE stack and its neighbouring layers and have a moderate to deep understanding of the role of CDN, Cache, Webpack, CI/CD.

  • You have opinions on the BE API design and can challenge the BE team to achieve a good balance on what works well for the FE while understanding the constraints on both ends.

  • You code with good practices in mind like SOLID, principles of abstraction/composition, React/Redux best practices, and know when not to use them for a good trade-off.

  • You have experience building aesthetic and functional user interfaces using modern CSS, knowledge of the best UX design practices, and attention to visual details.

  • Optionally, you have experience with react-query, async state management libraries, and SWR.

Perks & Benefits

  • 💰Competitive salary & equity (90th percentile of the market worldwide)

  • 🏖️ 5-week vacation (We follow each country's appropriate PTO Laws)

  • 🤕 Paid sick leave
