Overview

Come join us as we scale our retail and commerce loyalty platform! PAR Retail is looking for a senior front-end engineer on it’s expanding product engineering team as we build and grow our Open Commerce enterprise software-as-a-service platform.

Open Commerce is a technology suite that enables marketing professionals in the fuel & convenience industry to create real-time, hyper-personalized offers and customer interactions across a variety of channels (mobile, web, SMS, and in-person) to drive customer behavior toward a desired goal.

Our technology bridges financial payment providers, retail fuel pump technology, and customer experience by wrapping low-level standards-compliant integrations with powerful software abstractions on an ultra-modern software platform.

• Implement modern, performant front-end user interfaces using TypeScript on the React stack
• Build UI backed by GraphQL APIs
• Assist product and design in the shaping of product features prior to implementation
• Work closely with our design team to evolve and maintain our visual design system, and build user-facing interfaces that align to our design standards
• Work with the broader product engineering team to plan and coordinate feature and functionality improvements, as well as bugs and technical enhancements, that cross-cut large parts of our platform

• Work to continually learn, improve technology skills, expand knowledge of the Open Commerce platform technologies, and gain increasing versatility across the breadth of our platform systems

• Experience with TypeScript, or similar modern strongly-typed language
• Experience with front-end state management architectures (such as Flux/Redux, Elm, or similar)
• Strong understanding of and familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated tests
• Highly independent and able to effectively self-organize and prioritize work
• The ability to write clean code, and the discipline to write effective automated tests to deliver high-quality system improvements
• An ability to effectively break down larger bodies of work for delivery as a series of small, self-contained changes to the system
• Excellent spoken and written communication skills
