THE ROLE
We
are looking for a front end developer who possess a keen eye for detail
and a passion for collaboration and getting features into production.
Someone who wants to learn whilst delivering quality.
You would be
working as a frontend developer within one of our product focussed
teams, working closely with other frontend developers, backend
developers, QA engineers and the team’s product manager to deliver
changes and new functionality. You would be involved in planning new
work and helping the product manager decide what the team should be
working on to achieve the team’s goals.
You would also be working
on frontend technical tasks to improve our frontend architecture,
improve the performance and usability of the site, make use of new
technologies, reduce complexity, write and maintain a growing collection
of open source libraries and make development easier.
YOUR ATTITUDE
You’re
someone who’s smart, organised, motivated and gets things done. You
want to work in a startup environment, because you like the idea of
doing a bit of everything and taking ownership of what you work on. You
have ideas about everything, and you’re not afraid to argue your point
(while respecting everyone else’s of course). You’re constantly thinking
“how can we do this better?”.
THE STACK
We
use modern JavaScript techniques to implement new and innovative
solutions to difficult business problems. We love the power and
flexibility React gives us in producing truly cross platform
applications. We transpile with babel, meaning you can work with all the
new JavaScript hotness whilst supporting older browsers, we type check
with flow and build with webpack. We render our applications on the
server so users get the best possible perceived performance. We scale
with ease using AWS, launch staging environments via our Slack bot and
automate JIRA away so you almost don't notice it’s there.

METHODOLOGY
We're
an open-source first company who understands the value of working
publicly on Github. Our teams are collaborative, product focussed,
cross-functional organisations that are empowered to define their own
work and organise themselves. We work incrementally and dedicate 20% of
our time to refactoring, updating our stack and libraries or
experimenting with new technologies. We like to build fast, scalable,
easily maintainable applications using whichever tools are right for the
job. Most of all, we like to deliver! We believe in manageable chunks
of work with continuous integration and delivery to enable multiple
production releases per day, so that we’re always making progress.
Requirements
- Ideally 2+ years experience in a commercial web development environment
- Strong knowledge of JavaScript
- Some experience of the Open Source Community or a desire to get involved with it.
- Interest or experience in working with frontend frameworks, we use React

- Familiar with modern web development workflows (Babel, Flow, Webpack)
- A clear desire to work on open source projects.
