Noun Project is building a global visual language that unites the world - a language that allows quick and easy communication no matter who you are or where you are. We believe that visual language has the power to shape, reinforce, and change perceptions. Through initiatives like the Redefining Women and Diversity in Tech collections, we are building the most extensive and diverse collection of icons and photos available. Over the last decade, our community of creators has contributed millions of visuals used and loved by nearly 10 million people around the world. We are VC-backed, profitable, and believe our people are our biggest asset.

We are looking for a full-time Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team. You will collaborate with a small team of engineers and designers to build and deliver amazing user experiences for the Noun Project website, API, macOS App, and Plugins. The right candidate is a lifelong learner; is someone who thrives in a collaborative environment; prefers working in small teams; is a great communicator; is disciplined, practical, and process-oriented; is imaginative and whimsical in their work; prefers the simple over the complicated.

We believe broad perspectives are fundamental to serving our international community, and that diverse experiences are the key to innovation, collaboration, and awareness of the globalized context we live in.
