Frontend Engineer - Gather｜Meet.jobs

We are building a virtual universe which fundamentally improves how people interact online.

Today, that means a powerful remote-social platform. We already have people working out of our office spaces, attending our virtual conferences, or going to school on our campus spaces. We have folks hosting everything from magic conventions to artist EP launches to thanksgiving dinners, and even a few weddings.

The mission of Gather is to remove physical constraints on peoples' lives, and provide a virtual world which surpasses the real one in interconnectedness, personal touch, and expressiveness.

Where you will make an impact:

Front End Engineers at Gather have the unique role of increasing the power and utility of the platform all while making sure it is intuitive for experts, novices, and people who have never played Pokemon. You will be responsible for taking a beautiful design from the Design team, filling in gaps with your own UI intuitions, and bringing it to life in React.**

Gather is looking for Engineers who are constantly finding ways to improve the web client, mapmaker, dashboard, and everything else while maintaining a high level of usability. After all, as a FE engineer you're in the unique position of being able to add features to the site and make them actually useful and intuitive. Tens of thousands of people per day (and counting) depend on it!
