About the company:

Doing something different is never easy. It requires courage, optimism and grit. Core to our mission is building a team of adventurous individuals determined to make a positive impact on the world. This means challenging ourselves constantly. Stretching beyond the bounds of conventional thinking. Reframing old problems. Seeking new solutions. And operating comfortably in a space of uncertainty. While our backgrounds are diverse, our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations. Do you like doing the impossible? We’d love to hear from you.

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

Rivian’s Digital Technology Team is responsible for the end-to-end implementation of the digital experience outside the vehicle (e.g. vehicle configurator, payment gateway, vehicle delivery management, service scheduling) across web, mobile app and in-store. To that end, we are developing a world-class commerce platform that will make learning about and purchasing electric adventure vehicles intuitive, seamless and fun.

We are seeking a Front End Engineer who will be developing large scale client-side applications using the latest JavaScript features, frameworks and tooling. You'll be building from the ground up with an obsession towards making these experiences memorable for the customers. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high performing team early on and help lay the technical foundation for our digital technology platform.

This is what you’ll do:

Create client-side applications along the customer journey that range from buying merch from store, configuring their vehicles to scheduling their service
Collaborate with UX/UI designers and product designers to build user-friendly, immersive, reactive applications
Develop state of the art code with a keen eye on profiling, browser memory usage, load time of the apps
Consistently write useful tests for all code developed, ensuring a high-quality bar is maintained

This is what you’ll need:

2 years of relevant experience required (3-5yrs preferred), with 1-2 years of building large scale enterprise grade systems
Experience building distributed systems at scale which can handle millions of transactions/second
Excellent JavaScript/ES6, React or other JS framework experience
Excellent HTML5, SASS/LESS, Restful APIs, JSON, HTTP experience
Experience working with AWS or GCP, and CDNs
Great understanding of SEO & Web accessibility principles
Great understanding of caching, security and privacy principles
Good understanding of CI/CD principles
Excellent understanding of cross-browser cross-platform compatibility issues as well as the ability to debug
Experience with Node, Webpack, GraphQL a plus
Experience with Serverless Architectures a plus
Meticulous around visibility of the systems you build – metrics, centralized logging, tracing
Dedicated to unit, integration testing and coverage – comfortable using tools of the trade on profiling, source control
Ability to clearly communicate thoughts and ideas by rapid prototyping
Data driven mindset with strong attention to detail, and ability to A/B test scenarios
Experience with Agile Development, SCRUM or a similar software development life cycle process
Comfortable navigating trade-offs to bring the right data structure and algorithms to the problem
Strong technical background in Computer Science, Engineering or a related technology field preferred

Where you’ll work, when the world can safely reopen:

Department: Services Platform group with Digital Technology
