Software Engineer, Instagram Front-end

We are looking for front-end web engineers that can help us build a compelling web presence while maintaining simplicity and usability. You should be able to think critically about a problem, evaluate the solution set, and be able to pick the right course of development given the set of constraints while adopting appropriate technologies to solve technical challenges.

Responsibilities

• From day one, you will be contributing to the future of Instagram on the web.

• You will be working closely together with our designers and engineers to continually improve our web experience.
• Our web products are built with Python, Django and Backbone.js.
• Our CSS gets pre-processed by Sass. Experience with these technologies is not necessary, but willingness and excitement to learn them is!

Requirements

• A college degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Design or similar field.
• A scrappy, entrepreneurial attitude that gets high-quality projects done quickly.
• Deep understanding, familiarity and skill with programming for the web.
• The ability to pick up new programming languages very quickly.
• Experience and familiarity with Python is a plus, but not required.
• A demonstrated history of intellectual and entrepreneurial exploration.
• Be able to write elegant, readable, and well-documented code.
• The ability to construct solid, structured mark-up as well as writing and working with efficient, flexible and reusable stylesheets is preferred.
