Kids’s shoe sizing startup Jenzy, founded in 2016, is looking for a contract-to-hire senior front end developer.
“We are looking for an energetic, passionate leader who’s savvy about the latest front-end and React technologies and have 3-5 years of experience to back it up,” cofounder Carolyn Horner wrote in a public Slack channel.
The developer is required to know React Native, React, Redux and Redux Saga.
Jenzy recently announced a $1.25 million seed round of fundraising and Horner told Technical.ly that they’d be hiring a handful of positions to round the team out.
“We’ll be going into 2020 with runway, which is really exciting,” she said. “It took us a year to raise it, but we know we can do it, and we can do it again, and that is a big boost of confidence for us.”
