About this role

Lyst are looking for experienced JavaScript Engineers to join our team in Hoxton Square. We are building a fashion commerce platform that our users love, that brands are excited to partner with, and that we, as engineers, are proud to work on. The team of engineers and data scientists that work at Lyst are pushing the boundary of how data and technology are used in the fashion commerce space. We are developing an environment and culture that is all about writing great software using the best tools in the best possible manner.

As a JavaScript Engineer you will be ensuring that the platform continues to over exceed shoppers expectations, helping us to constantly release new features and improve functionality. You will work in a product-led cross-discipline team on everything from helping to choose the best tools and frameworks to working with design and product exciting new features. What you will be working on 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. Things that matter to us… 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.
