More information about this job:
Bazaarvoice is based on a simple truth; when people talk to each other, people buy stuff they are happy about because they trust the opinions of others. We see a day when all voices are connected and, together, help the marketplace function better. That’s what our name means: the “voice of the marketplace.” We’ve built a network that connects businesses together to amplify the authentic voices of people wherever they shop – online, in-store and mobile.
Each month, more than 400 million people view and share authentic opinions, questions and experiences about 20 million products in the Bazaarvoice network. Our technology platform channels these voices into the places that influence purchases.
Our network helps businesses gain access to a wider audience of shoppers and trusted consumer content to improve sales and marketing. Insights from our network data help marketers and advertisers provide more engaging experiences, drive product innovation and performance, make better merchandising decisions and build brand advocates and loyalty.
We are looking for top-notch JavaScript developers to join a team that's building the next generation of a product that serves billions of pageviews a month on sites that you've most certainly heard of. This isn't your run-of-the-mill client-side app: you'll be called upon to develop features that will serve Fortune 500 companies and boutique brands; to work with a full JavaScript stack, front to back; to write code that can withstand the assaults common to third-party applications; and to do it all in an environment where an extra 100ms can have a measurable impact on the bottom line.
We're big believers in teamwork, knowledge sharing, and as little managerial oversight as we can get away with. That means it's super important that you're highly effective at managing your time without supervision; communicating with a dispersed team; and being proactive about sharing what you know.
We are hiring full time stellar software engineer with strong front-end skills for our Bazaarvoice Curations team located in Austin, TX. Curations is the newest product at Bazaarvoice that enables customers to harness a wealth of social media content tailored for their marketing needs, and display it right where it can go to work delivering engagement, trust, and conversion. Our new social media curation platform allows customers to build engaging experiences on their site with high-quality, relevant social content. As an engineer on the Curations team, you would be working on developing the next generation of social commerce including creating new visualizations of social content on commerce sites and building out a highly flexible and scalable platform for collecting and displaying millions of social posts from social channels like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Youtube, etc..

If you're the right person, then you'll have no trouble explaining closures, variable scope, prototypal inheritance, and the async nature of JavaScript. You'll also probably have 5 or more years of experience with:

- One or more client-side templating libraries (Handlebars, Mustache, etc.)
- One or more CSS preprocessors (Sass, LESS, Stylus, etc.)
- AMD and modular codebases
