Senior Front-End Engineer

Are you ready to take the lead in shaping the face of an industry-changing AI solution? At Markmi, we’re looking for a senior front-end engineer to redefine how fashion retailers interact with our powerful AI assistant, delivering a sleek, intuitive, and result-oriented user experience.

In 2024 we released Markmi, an AI assistant for fashion retailers that enables merchandising teams to make smarter, faster, and more profitable pricing (markdown) decisions. 

By leveraging fashion-focused intelligence and advanced forecasting, Markmi enables teams to set optimal price markdowns that swiftly respond to market shifts, protect margins, and drive revenue—all without relying on outdated spreadsheets or generic tools. Our algorithms, trained specifically on fashion data, empower retailers to reduce manual workload, gain better control over the markdown process, and achieve superior sales outcomes. Markmi demonstrates that with the right tool, fashion teams can confidently use price markdowns as a powerful asset to drive growth.

As a senior front-end engineer, your primary responsibility will be to implement the user-facing elements of the Markmi SaaS solution. In the short term, this means adding features to the existing application and redesigning its key elements. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to redefine its overall structure, frameworks and infrastructure. You will take the lead in these efforts, incorporating feedback and owning the outcomes of your decisions.

In the said role, you will work side by side with product management, software engineers, data scientists, and industry experts. Collaboratively, the goal is to transform Markmi into a polished, responsive, and reliable solution that not only delivers an exceptional user experience but also ensures it provides the business value clients are looking for.

🚀 Your responsibilities

• As a central pillar of the Markmi Development Squad, you will create and maintain the interface to a SaaS solution in the field of price (markdown) management in fashion.

• You will identify opportunities to improve existing features and determine the most effective path forward for new ones.

• You will deliver high-quality code that is both performant and compliant with coding best practices.

🚀 Your key requirements

• You have an MS or BS in software engineering, design, or equivalent.

• You have at least four years of working experience in front-end development.

• You are well-versed in Typescript and React (or similar frameworks) and eager to continue to master relevant frameworks.

• You know how to initiate, plan, and execute projects, showcasing a strong sense of ownership and the ability to make informed, well-substantiated decisions.

• You have come to learn and work with software engineering best practices, core tools, and collaboration techniques.

• You can apply UI/UX design principles and are motivated to learn and develop expertise in this area.

🚀 Bonus skills that can set you apart

• Generalist full-stack development skills, allowing you to contribute to the other layers of the tech stack.

• Interest in or affinity for data science algorithms and workflows.

• Experience in the retail or fashion industry, specifically in pricing, would be a lovely surprise.
