A Peek into our product:

Drive is our flagship product offer. It is the market leader in the DMS (Dealer Management System) space and powers the majority of auto dealerships in the North American market. The Drive team is seeking a Senior Front-End engineer to help take our premier product to the next level; transforming it into a more modern SaaS-based solution. We're just getting started with this very large modernization effort; there's lots to do and lots to learn! And we need you to help us make it happen.

Why should you be interested?

Because it's still largely greenfield so you'll have an opportunity to influence the direction of this very early-stage initiative. While this role is biased to the front-end, overall architecture, API considerations, microservices topology, best ways to utilize AWS and its services - these are, seriously, conversations we have on a daily basis. And, of course, there's the front-end. We're a React shop but exploring the usage of the micro-frontend pattern such that we can mix/match workflows and deliver best-in-class experiences to our end users. It's very exciting. We're an agile shop so comfort/experience with that development process is a must. Cool stuff. Now for the nitty-gritty:
