About the Team

As part of the Mark Up team, you'll be working with a small, cross-functional group of the most talented people you've ever worked with. We hire only passionate and creative people with a proven and unquestionable ability to execute, and every member of the team is equally responsible for moving the product forward.

We have a dynamic company culture that collaborates daily. We care deeply about the user experience, and we debate passionately about our ideas. When you work at Ceros, you check your ego at the door, and you aren't afraid to be honest, especially to yourself. We take our jobs seriously but ourselves not so much. As a member of a remote-first team, you embrace transparency and collaboration.

The Role

Building a product that can ingest and render well on any website is no easy task! We require the best-of-the-best, those who are ready to get creative and find solutions to complex problems across multiple browsers, stacks and platforms.

Our software engineers are all full-stack, able to take on whatever work comes their way, and this role is no different. While we expect the initial focus to skew toward the frontend, building high-quality React components, contributing to shared component libraries, and evolving our design system, we also require strong backend experience to contribute across the stack as needs evolve.

Mark Up is built upon Type Script, comprising multiple services and packages, predominantly NodeJS based. We use libraries like React, Express, Lerna, Webpack and Jest. We believe in using the right tool for the job, our infrastructure runs on NodeJS, Redis, AWS Aurora, Kubernetes and Terraform within the AWS cloud.
