About SurveyMonkey Business Solutions

SurveyMonkey’s platform is used for a myriad of purposes across a broad spectrum of industries. That leaves ample opportunity to build targeted products that solve a specific problem. That’s where our team comes in. We’re responsible for building standalone solutions that address the needs of businesses.

So far, we’ve built three solutions:

• SurveyMonkey CX – Measure and improve customer satisfaction
• SurveyMonkey Engage – Understand and foster employee engagement
• TechValidate – Publish 3rd-party verified customer proof

We operate each solution as a small startup within the larger SurveyMonkey organization. This affords us flexibility to quickly try new ideas, but with the resources of larger company. Our goal is to build high growth, profitable businesses that leverage the enormous user base of SurveyMonkey.

The Team

Our ten person team is responsible for building products from soup to nuts. We often wear many hats and work across both the technical stack and departments. You’ll have the opportunity to work with people who have successfully launched (and sold) products.

Most of us choose to focus on one solution at a time. We feel this allows us to fully embrace and understand our customer needs and develop a deep technical understanding of the problem domain. However, we are also committed to sharing our work – not just with each other, but via open source contributions to our code library, Pano.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for an experienced front-end engineer who has worked on Ruby on Rails applications. You should be a CSS expert and appreciate the clarity of Haml and Sass. Interest beyond the view layer is always welcome – either delving into controllers or models, or bringing an eye for design. Experience with HTML emails will also come in handy.

You should be fluent in Javascript. While we are skeptical of Javascript frameworks, we embrace ES6. Knowledge of D3 is a plus. Understanding of Turbolinks will serve you well.

Overall, you’ll need a strong command of web standards and cross-browser compatibility. You should be able to demonstrate relevant past experience working on complex web applications.

Why Work Here?

We are a remote team. As long as your work day overlaps the Pacific timezone by at least four hours, where you live and work and up to you. You will be asked to travel a few times a year for a full team meeting. We use this time not only for larger planning discussions, but also for a little social interaction. In the past year, we’ve gone bowling in Phoenix and made sushi in San Francisco.

We are strong believers in work-life balance. We know world class work can be done in just forty hours a week when distractions are minimized and the pace is sustainable. If you consider yourself to be a manager of one, this role is a great fit.

We offer competitive salaries, medical/dental benefits, generous PTO, 401k, paid holidays, and equity compensation.
