About the role
We are looking for a frontend engineer with a deep understanding of Typescript and React and best practices when it comes to frontend development. You should have senior level experience (~5 years) building modern frontend systems, with at least 3 years of that experience using react.
You will work on a variety of projects, mostly around the core Prezly product. Your work will ship continuously so you will have a direct impact on our customers’ experience and the overall trajectory of the business.
As our new teammate, you’ll be self-driven and work hard to bring value to your new company in the most effective way possible. You’ll work hard to make those around you better, communicate clearly, and make Prezly a better company.
About the technology
Our services are built around a core of a Single Page Application (react/JS/typescript), API's in PHP (symfony). On the backend we use a Symfony fork (https://github.com/rock-symphony/rock-symphony) and interact with a Postgres (RDS) database.
We're big believers in open-source and devops/CI - building, testing, and deploying to any of our environments are as simple as pushing a commit to a git branch. The infrastructure is containerised, built on top of AWS using Kubernetes. For open-source work, we encourage our team to share their work with the world and contribute where they can. Some open-source stuff we did.
We're a technology company first: This means that in addition to product and business development plans, we put emphasis on continual improvement of our stack and infrastructure. Current projects include API'ing our full application suite and removing redux.
Covid-19 and Travel
As international borders reopen, we’re thrilled to be able to start planning in-person retreats and visits to our HQ. Since regulations vary from country to country, we expect each team member to make themselves aware of the travel regulations pertaining to where they live and plan their own travel accordingly.
We are happy to cover the costs for any covid tests you need to take to comply with travel regulations when attending retreats or other team meetings, which will vary depending on things like your country of residence, vaccination status and so on.
