Time for that "Looking for work!" post, I guess!

Unfortunately, my current role is impacted by Amazon's move to mandatory co-location for teams, and my family is far too settled in Brooklyn to move away now. So after 7 years at Amazon, I'm starting the search.

I'm looking for a new role as a Front-end engineer/Design technologist/UX Engineer. I like design systems. And CSS. And accessibility. Love those things.

TLDR: I love building web interfaces and want a job centered on doing that. I think design and development should be driven by accessibility. I love some good ol' HTML, CSS and JS. Have years of experience in React. Love working with designers. Love working with and building design systems.

Sometimes I write about these things on my website heather-buchel.com

Prefer but open to on-location in Brooklyn/Manhattan.

My ideal role allows for close collaboration with UX/design. I excel when I can influence the UX and UI in early stages of the design and product lifecycle. My ideal role also allows me to focus on building accessible user interfaces, and to foster a team culture that treats accessibility as a requirement. Generally, I am at my best when working with and creating design systems and/or with engineering teams that commonly work with UX designers or require engineers that also have UX skill sets.

@hbuchel please don't misappropriate the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols Unicode block as a "font". it sucks for people with screen readers.

@yetzt hey good catch. I copy pasted from another site where the text was bold and didn't realize Mastodon would try to keep formatting like that.

@hbuchel does Long Island City fall outside of your area of consideration?

@hbuchel really sorry to hear that!

Stripe has roles in the NYC office that could fit that bill! Any of the FE/fullstack roles work closely with our designers and design system. Let me know if anything catches your eye!

@hbuchel Happy to point you at some opportunities at my company although I suspect the pay’s a bit lower than you’re used to. We’ve traditionally been an Angular shop (or vanilla JS) but React is starting to become prominent. jobs.erieinsurance.com/job/Eri

It’s disgusting all the changes that Amazon is making to force people to quit and avoid the cost of layoffs.

@hbuchel working at Bloomberg has been a surprise and an absolute joy. Reasonable RTO, high diversity, beautiful offices, run by grownups out of the quarterly earning panic. Philanthropy is integrated in many cultural behaviors.

Absolute footgun by Amazon. It tends to be the best people that leave because they're more likely to find jobs. And why do they care where a screenworker lives?
