Frontend Engineer - Creatives team

As a Front-end engineer in the Creatives team of Channable, you will be responsible for building new features for the Creatives suite and maintaining existing ones.

The main feature of the Creatives suite is a dynamic image editor, in which customers can create an image template once and then generate images for hundreds, thousands, or millions of products based on those templates. The core of this editor runs both interactively in a WYSIWYG image editor interface and in bulk mode as a NodeJS application in the backend. The Creatives team is also responsible for surrounding features such as background removal and asset management, including fonts and logos.

You will prototype new features based on customer feedback and make decisions to improve how customers are guided through the tool. After implementation, you will roll out features together with other members of the Creatives product team, bringing new functionality into customers’ hands.

The team:

The Creatives team is a highly skilled and diverse group of backend, full-stack, and frontend engineers, as well as a product manager and a UI/UX designer. This allows the team to iterate quickly and deliver new features.
