Amper Technologies
About Us
Amper is a rapidly-growing IoT startup that helps manufacturers unleash their potential with modern software to run operations.
We build a simple but powerful platform that helps manufacturers reduce costs, increase visibility, and drive efficiency. We believe in keeping things simple and easy-to-understand - and our culture and products are a reflection of that. For example, it takes a few minutes to self-install Amper on any kind of industrial machine - like a consumer device and without the traditional hassle of integration.
Our vision is to build the market-leading FactoryOS to enable cutting-edge operations, and we are investing in the next level of growth across our GTM and product teams. We are a venture-backed startup with a distributed team and HQ in Chicago.
About You
We’re growing our engineering team and we’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to take ownership of our front end development, tooling, and developer experience. While some full-stack work will be expected, your primary focus will be on enhancing the user interface and overall experience of our platform.
Working as a Senior Front End Engineer at Amper means working in a wide variety of contexts. Our front ends are largely built with React, alongside some third-party tools. We build for both web and mobile, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms. You will also work on improving our development tooling and processes to enhance productivity and maintain high-quality standards.
Being an engineer at Amper also means being a “product person.” Our engineers don’t just move tickets from pile A to pile B. Led by a Product Owner, you'll help us work through new ideas and figure out the best way to implement them.
You’ll enjoy working at Amper if you:
Have a strong appetite for the unfamiliar; that includes technical content as well as solving problems our customers face
Believe that being helpful and humble are just as important as technical know-how
Can teach the things you know well, and acknowledge what you can learn from others
Requirements
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Expertise in front end technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (React preferred)
Experience with front end build tools and development pipelines (Webpack, Vite. etc.)
Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and best practices
Some familiarity with back end technologies and frameworks (Python preferred)
Preferences
5+ years of professional engineering experience with a front-end focus
Previous experience owning / leading front end development for an application
Knowledge of DevOps tooling and practices (CI/CD, Monitoring)
Interest in UI design / visual design
Benefits
Unlimited PTO, 2-week minimum
401(k) plan
Health insurance (medical, vision, and dental)
Flexible work schedule
