Software Engineer, Full Stack

Who We Are

At Left Field Labs, our curiosity drives us to seek out uncommon solutions to our shared challenges. Our purpose is to positively impact the human experience with everything we invent. We’re looking for those who can craft unique solutions through empathy.

Interested in joining a culture that celebrates diversity, encourages curiosity, and creates with purpose? Are you the kind of person who obsesses over details, thrives in a collaborative environment, and jumps at the opportunity to take on new challenges? Confident that you’re at the top of your game and ready to invent with others who are at the top of theirs? Check out our open position and let’s talk.

Overview

Who We Are Seeking

Left Field Labs is currently looking to partner with Freelancers and Independent Contractors remotely! If you are a forward thinking human ready to work on cutting edge technologies with an out of the box creative imagination, then we invite you to join us as we build our rosters and enrich our teams!

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to lead the frontend development of our client's prototype to display more personalized consumer media recommendations to customers as they browse the prototype. An Engineer on this project would work primarily on the frontend side of the application, integrating REST APIs into the prototype, developing new React UI components, and setting up admin pages to support in person customer testing.

We’re looking for someone who has a passion for “Data Science” projects and a curiosity for Generative AI technologies. Someone who is ok with writing throwaway code and iterating quickly vs writing production level frontend code. They are able to work on their own and lead the development on the frontend side while working with our backend engineering partners.
