Staff Software Engineer, Front-end Frameworks (Los Altos, CA)

Box's Front-end Frameworks team is looking for an experienced engineer to join us at our Los Altos, CA headquarters on our mission to make building web applications on top of the Box infrastructure easy, fast, and fun.

About the Team

Front-end Frameworks ensures that Box web applications are built on top of the best tools and frameworks available. We actively evaluate third-party libraries and frameworks, as well as building our own, to make sure our feature teams can be as effective and iterative as possible. In the past two years, we've led the establishment of front-end best practices, created a lightweight client-side framework that has improved developer experience by enforcing conventions and loose coupling, and started putting together a Node.js framework to power the next generation of Box web applications.

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

Essential JavaScript Links

I no longer mantain this list. There are lots of other very comprehensive JavaScript link lists out there. Please see those, instead (Google "awesome JavaScript" for a start).

Google Chrome Developers says:

The new WOFF 2.0 Web Font compression format offers a 30% average gain over WOFF 1.0 (up to 50%+ in some cases). WOFF 2.0 is available since Chrome 36 and Opera 23.

Some examples of file size differences: WOFF vs. WOFF2

// This event emitter emits events, but reserves the right to publish events to
// for its creator. It uses a WeakMap for true encapsulation.

const eesToEventMaps = new WeakMap();

export default class EventEmitter {
    constructor(publisher) {
        const eventMap = Object.create(null);
        eesToEventMaps.set(this, eventMap);
