Role
The main responsibility for this position is to produce high-quality code and shape together with the team the best practices for the frontend applications to manage complex data structures in component state using React-Redux. Also, an important part of the job is to interact with our designer to create pixel-perfect UIs according to design specs.
In this role, you will be working as part of a small and highly effective cross-functional team, where most developers have a full-stack understanding of the technical challenges.
As a main frontend developer in the team, you will be part of all major technical decisions, shaping the best frontend practices and creating new features for the web app by deploying code to production regularly.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a passionate React Engineer that wants to own and help shape our web application for the construction industry. You should have a good understanding of web technologies and the different challenges of web development, having previously developed several production applications. We expect a strong intimacy with JavaScript, as our application runs mainly in React, Redux, and Typescript. Previous experience on that stack is mandatory. Another important point is having a deep understanding of developing with REST APIs, with a bonus of being willing to get your hands dirty also on improving backend APIs when needed.
We believe in a growing and learning mindset, where developers are ready to face new challenges, and learn new technologies when needed. Thus, having the right skills and a positive attitude to learning is more important for us than the degree. A BS/MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related subject is relevant, as we value an understanding of the fundamentals, but it's not a prerequisite.
We define ourselves as an agile company, so being open to feedback and adapting to change is core to being a good fit for our team. Our company's working language is English, in which we expect all candidates to effectively communicate (written and spoken).
In this role, we also value interest in keeping up to date with the latest trends and sharing knowledge about best frontend practices with the team.
This position is open for fully remote but has a requirement of being located in the EU.
What we can offer you?
You will be part of an amazing journey to transform the construction industry with a bold and caring team. Along this path, we will challenge each other, have difficult open conversations and develop, as we learn.
In addition to the above, we will also take care of you and provide you with the right challenges for growth. Some of our benefits:
- Paid time off (25 vacation days per year)
- Flexible working hours
- Full remote possible
- Share options program
- Company gatherings twice a year (in person when possible again)
