Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Parsons is a frontend-focused software engineering manager with a decade of experience building accessible, well-tested React and TypeScript applications and leading teams through high-stakes public launches and organizational change. She combines hands-on engineering with strong technical judgment to design scalable testing strategies, improve delivery predictability, and reduce process friction so engineers can ship with confidence. Jennifer has stabilized delivery in acquired enterprise environments, contributed to IRS Direct File and other civic projects, and rapidly learned new stacks (Elm, Elixir) to inform architecture decisions. She’s skilled at creating clear technical documentation and shared understanding, and at mentoring engineers from IC to staff-level roles. Outside of software, she runs an award-winning, fully distributed science fiction magazine, applying the same rigorous hiring, onboarding, and documentation practices to creative publishing. Based in New Jersey, she’s seeking remote roles where technical collaboration and long-term impact matter.
