About the role

Transcend is seeking a highly motivated and talented Senior Software Engineer to build delightfully simple UIs for our customers. You will help us build and maintain the core Transcend application, as well as contribute to new products and initiatives such as:

• Data Discovery & Classification: This product suite helps our customers understand what types of data is being collected, where they are stored, and what they are used for.
• Assessments: A tool to allow companies to systematically identify, analyze, and minimize the data protection risks of a specific vendor, data system or project.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with product managers and designers to build polished and intuitive user interfaces. You will think critically about the implications of what you’re building, and how it relates to the overarching privacy goals of our customers. 
• Ship production-ready code that’s easy to iterate on. You know what tests to write, what to log, what metrics to capture, what alerts to set up.
• Improve the frontend development experience. As a senior member of the engineering team, you will make it easier & faster for other devs to ship new frontend features. Some examples include introducing useful component abstractions and help automate testing for critical user flows.
• Participate in roadmap discussions and technical design reviews.
• Work across the stack to deliver features: Typescript, React, GraphQL, Node.js
• Proactively fix production and development issues.

Who you are

• You have 4-6 years of experience in software engineering, with an emphasis on frontend or full-stack development.
• You're effective at tackling large, open-ended problems. We're a small team, and not every problem will have a fully spec-ed out solution for you to implement. Spec-gathering, writing design docs, validating potential solutions with teammates, and decomposing work are all part of the job.
• You’re able to identify trade-offs and take them into consideration when making decisions. You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You’re not just going after the latest cool tech – you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• You are effective at async and online methods of communication. Our team is remote, so the ability to clearly and thoughtfully communicate despite the space and time barriers is very important.

Why join us?

The people at Transcend are driven, kind and know how to balance work, life and memes. We learn from each other and have a strong support system. 

You’re joining a fast growing start up, with opportunities to help define and grow the organization.

We have a strong mission to protect user privacy rights everywhere. The privacy compliance landscape is growing,
