Front End Engineer

Finding elegant solutions to hard technical problems relating to JS (client side) and/or Python/Django (server-side)

Contributing to open source libraries that we have either created or use, for example our UI components library Baustein ( https://github.com/ssaw/baustein ) or our CSS inliner that we use for emails ( https://github.com/ssaw/django-inlinify )

Collaborating with product and designer to build new features

Building and maintaining internal tools and dashboards, which range from simple server-rendered pages to client side applications built using EmberJS

Helping to improve our build processes to make deployment and iteration easier and faster

Writing both unit and integration tests - we love testing.

Building your own brand and skills. Lyst is a company that will encourage and support you to get involved in the wider community. Events like FOSDEM, JS Conf, LNUG are regular occurrences on our calendar.

Creating better solutions for everything we do, from culture to the code.

Progressive enhancement - not because we expect people to disable JS but because we believe this makes you build a better product

Mobile first - lyst.com is a responsive site and the mobile web experience is hugely important to us both in terms of functionality and performance.

JavaScript - we favour vanilla JS over a compile-to-JS solution as with ES6 we feel we get all the language level features we need

CSS - we use LESS (but are considering a move to Sass) and the BEM methodology

Tooling - our front end build system uses Grunt, Make, RequireJS, Browserify, LESS, JHint, ESLint, Karma, Mocha, Sinon, and a whole load more… but we don’t want tools that get in our way so we are always evaluating this stack.
