Fanatics needs you! The Forge team provides tools for business users, product managers, and engineers to manage sites, content, promotions, coupons, products, amongst other things. 

Our users have come to expect world-class interfaces—as a Senior Software Engineer, Front-End, you’ll be responsible for building them. You're an expert with React, appreciate the value of TypeScript, have an enhanced sensitivity for understanding the day-to-day user experience and a devotion to continually improving that interface. You'll take ownership of tools like those for authoring experiments, image management, and creating products (in other words—the things our 300+ sites sell: jerseys, shirts, hats, etc.). You'll deliver clean SASS (or other styles) and dive in with our designers to iterate on our workflows and reduce friction for our users. 

What are the challenges you'll take on? 

  • Delivering powerful experiences for our users 
  • Writing clean, safe, tested code 
  • Operating with other engineers, PMs, and business users to break down and understand problems, devising fixes for the cause rather than symptoms 
  • Creating intuitive, stable tools that let our users effectively, efficiently, and safely edit our sites 

What are we looking for from you? 

  • Pragmatism — you're predisposed to action, delivering functional pieces that grow over time 
  • Creativity in problem solving & autonomy 
  • You'll be expected to work directly with PMs to design scalable solutions 
  • You will independently find opportunities to build tooling to improve the lives of our engineers as well as users 
  • Iterating on design & providing constructive feedback is something you love 
  • You have a desire to learn and grow, push yourself and your team, and share lessons with others 
  • You are a team player and have a proven track record of building strong relationships with management, co-workers and customers. 
  • CS degree or related OR an equivalent combination of education and experience 

​​Technical knowledge 

  • You have deep knowledge of JavaScript (or TypeScript) and are comfortable with other languages (Go is our primary backend language, but familiarity with, Java, Python, Ruby or similar is great) 
  • You're well versed in SASS, SCSS, or CSS 
  • Single Page Apps are your jam, but you know when they aren’t necessary 
  • Bonus points for experience with CMS/other internal applications 
  • You are comfortable stepping outside the frontend to keep yourself unblocked 
  • You are capable of learning new technologies when unfamiliar 

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. 

Fanatics is an EEO. No third party resumes will be accepted for this role. Please, no recruiters.
