Jobs - Front-End Developer
The bricks and mortar retail shopping experience is designed for women. Men suffer through it because they don't have a choice. Bonobos is ready to provide an alternative. We're building a technology-enabled men's brand that keeps our customers out of retail stores. We're looking for a front-end developer that is excited about using technology to create something never seen before in an otherwise stagnant category.
Bonobos is creating a transformative men's apparel brand in two ways: awesome products and awesome technology. We have strong views on how to create classic, well-designed men's clothing. We have big ideas about the future of eCommerce. We're not putting a new skin on the same old website. We're about to blaze new territory in the way consumer and brand interact and we need a superstar to play a key role in getting us there.
