(New York, New York)
Our goal is a "Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything", and we're on our way. We help people use the internet to get off the internet and form community. Meetups make a difference in people's lives and can change the world. We're fast-growing, SoHo-based, venture capital-backed, just-turned profitable, and a great place for top talent to do their best work.
Meetup is looking to add smart, creative, and experienced front-end coders to our User Interface Engineering team. These are mid- to senior-level positions on a collaborative, supportive, relaxed and motivated technical team. You'll work with a smart, dedicated engineering team to build the next generation of the site. While Meetup is established and successful, we're still growing quickly -- enjoy the challenges and opportunity of working with a startup with the benefits of a mature company.
As a UI Engineer, you will:
- Work closely with both software engineers and product managers
- Design and implement top notch products

- Experience with a version control system (Git a plus)
- A strong attention to detail and a feeling of pride and ownership over the quality of our product
