Acest anunț a expirat și nu este disponibil pentru aplicare
We are on a mission to make science open so everyone can live healthy lives on a healthy planet
Who We Are
Frontiers is an award-winning open science platform and leading open access scholarly publisher.
We are one of the largest and most cited publishers globally. To date, our 200,000 freely available research articles have received more than 1 billion views and downloads and 2 million citations. Our journals span science, health, humanities and social sciences, engineering, and sustainability. And we continue to expand into new academic disciplines so more researchers can publish open access.
Be part of the publishing revolution and help us transform the way research is published, evaluated, and communicated to the world.
Description
We are looking for a UI/UX team leader for a new team who helps at the head of our Frontend Engineering team, evolving and maintaining the existing components library and the UI prototypes for all our applications. At the beginning, you will be part of the existing team until we have enough people to split the team in two and the transferred of knowledge is done.
This is a hands-on position; a good part of your day will go solving User Stories with your teammates, helping them with the technical tasks. But as the head of the team your managerial skills are just as essential: you must be proactive, inspiring and persuasive, and a true leader at the forefront of your projects. You must also care about your people, lead them and promote their professional growth.
And what about us? Well, I invite you to check Frontiers as a company, our mission, and how we envision the society and the world. It's so important to feel comfortable working in a company you can be proud of! By working with us you will play a key role in shaping the future of science and academic publishing, and the way it affects the people, the planet and the evolution of our society. If this resonates with you, please check the job description below, maybe you are the person that can help us!
What You Do
In your team you will lead between 3 and 5 fellow Frontend SW Engineers. Currently the team uses Kanban to manage its User Stories, coming from the different Product Owners. Once the UI prototypes are ready, they are served to the relevant agile team in charge of the application.
What We Are Looking For
With more than 50 nationalities represented in our global team, you will work regularly with teammates in other countries, and with our community of researchers, editors, and authors from around the globe.
Our mission to create solutions for healthy lives also extends to the working environment we provide for our employees.
This includes:
100% remote working
Employees now have the flexibility to choose where they want to work, with remote working available on a part- or full-time basis (not applicable to some Workplace/IT jobs due to nature of role requiring presence onsite, in the office).
Learning and development
All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning (and Pluralsight for our technology team), an annual personal learning budget, and dedicated L&D time.
Wellbeing
We offer free online yoga classes, an employee assistance plan, access to the Headspace app, and four wellbeing days on top of your annual leave allowance.
Volunteering opportunities
Employees can dedicate three days each year to volunteer for a personal cause or through our volunteering partner platform, Alaya.
Frontiers actively embraces diversity and is a safe and welcoming workplace. Recruitment is free from discrimination – including based on race, national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation. With over 600 employees from more than 50 different nations, our diversity creates vibrant teams and constantly challenges us to appreciate multiple perspectives.
