Frontend Engineer - Creatives team

Your job:

As a Front-end engineer in the Creatives team of Channable, you will be responsible for building new features of our Creatives suite of features and maintaining existing ones. 

The main feature of the Creatives suite is our dynamic image editor, in which our customers can make an image template once, and then generate images for hundreds, thousands, or millions of their products based on those templates. The core of this editor runs both interactively in our WYSIWYG image editor interface, as well as in bulk mode as a NodeJS application in the backend.
Besides that, the Creatives team is responsible for a bunch of surrounding features such as background removal, asset management (fonts, logos), etc.

You will be prototyping new features based on customer feedback and making decisions to improve how our customers are guided through our tool. After a feature is implemented, you will also be rolling out the feature together with other members of the Creatives product team, landing new functionalities in the hands of our customers.

The team:

The Creatives team is a highly skilled and diverse group of backend, full-stack, and frontend engineers, as well as a product manager and a UI/UX designer. This allows us to iterate fast to deliver new and exciting features to our customers. At our core, we value growth, ownership, and collaboration. We foster a supportive environment where everyone actively helps one another learn and succeed.
