About the role

Senior Front-End Engineer

MAQE is an experienced commerce company. We design experiences for our customers with one guiding focus; helping them sell more.

We started our journey in late 2011 building SaaS and e-commerce platforms for startups in Europe and the US. We now use the tools and techniques we learned over the years (e.g., Design Thinking, Agile Methods, LeanStartup, and Product-Lead Growth) to help our customers.


We’re a growing group of friends based in Bangkok who believe that "happy people do good work". We hand-craft our work inside and out and strongly believe in doing things in a way that maximizes value for our customers. While technology is important and at the center of our work, we believe that being people-focused is key to driving success.

The Opportunity

Our projects are growing bigger and more complex. We are currently maintaining a large enterprise e-commerce platform, a few custom corporate web applications (industrial gas and shipping) and soon to be designing and developing improvements to a new digital insurance platform. And we need someone who is ready to work and support our front-end team.


As a contractor, you will typically work in projects that are 1 - 6 months long and you join the project full-time or part-time, depending on the project requirements. Most projects are online and remote. However, some projects may require occasional on-site visits (Onsite fee applicable.)


We are flexible with working hours, but you are expected to commit to delivering on time, attend all required (online or on-site) meetings and be reachable during normal business hours. 


You will mainly focus on

  • Working as part of a small or even large team, delivering mission-critical and high-traffic web apps. Sometimes you will work as a Tech lead for a project. Sometimes you will work as a FE contributor for a project. You need to be able to be both leaders and followers for any projects.

  • Implement the features and user interfaces of the product

  • Architect efficient and reusable front-end systems that drive complex web applications

  • Identify and resolve potential issues during the development process including performance issues

  • Collaborate with team including Designers, QAs, Project Managers, and Software Engineers to deliver compelling user-facing products

  • Help mentoring a less experienced FE member in the project. This includes reviewing their codes, standards, and help solving challenges they may face within the project.

Requirements

We don’t particularly care about age, gender, ethnicity, work experience, or education, etc. Life has taught us that greatness comes in all shapes and sizes.


What you offer:

  • You have a stable network, licenses, and equipment to work on the project.

  • Proficiency of HTML, CSS & JavaScript

  • Experience with responsive design and grid-based layouts

  • Having fundamental knowledge of front-end stack, not just using frameworks

  • Having experience with modern JS framework, such as Vue.js, React, or Svelte

  • Familiar with CSS preprocessors (SCSS, LESS, etc.)

  • Familiar with front-end build tools (Vite, npm, Webpack, etc.)

  • Having experience with TypeScript is a plus

  • Having experience with web animation is a plus (CSS Transition/Animation, SVG, WebGL)

  • Write Testable Code

  • Willing to work with clients on-site on occasion
    • We try to limit days on-site to 3 days maximum if a client requests it.

    • But there are certain times when full-time on-site work is required for short period (not permanent)

To succeed at MAQE, you will also need to bring the following traits.

  • Our main internal communication is English. We don’t need you to speak English fluently but we need you to be confident in speaking English.

  • A can-do attitude and growth mindset.

  • Ability to work independently and in collaboration with team members
