Visitame is looking for an enthusiastic frontend engineer to join to
the team. In this role you will have significant responsibility in our
project development team. Visitame looks for developers who take
ownership of their code.
## About us
We are Visitame, a Proptech startup which combines the best of Home
IoT (Hardware and Software) to create an optimized and radically
improved Real Estate selling process. We have already successfully
launched an Alpha version to the market and we're ready now to scale it
technically and commercially. We're a well-funded startup, with top
corporate Real Estate clients and backed by 7r Ventures.
## About you
You love code. You love to build great products with JavaScript,
HTML, and CSS. You know JavaScript is imperfect, but you embrace its
functional side and genuinely enjoy coding with it. You might like to
talk about obscure computer science topics, but really, you just want to
write simple code and ship new products and features to customers.
You love great UX. You have an eye for great design and a feel for great UX, you care about more than just the code.
You love learning new things. You love playing with new tech. Your
focus is on frontend JavaScript code, but you can dig in wherever
needed. Node.js, CSS, build tools, you name it.
You can balance lots of concerns. Frontend apps have to take into
account performance (using networks and devices that we can't control),
customer demands, A/B tests, UX research, code quality, a rapidly
changing ecosystem of languages and modules, and the list goes on. And
we actually want to ship things too! You can balance those demands
without getting overwhelmed and keep the needle moving forward.
You love helping others. You share knowledge with the rest of your team, and directly helping customers.

Requirements

solving complex problems.
- Experience building and scaling web applications.

## Compensation
We offer a competitive salary of 30-35k, based on your experience.
From day one. We don't offer things like ping pong tables, catered meals
in the office, and other "perks" designed to keep you at work for all
of your waking hours. We want you to put in quality hours then go live
your life, rest, and recharge so you can come back fresh to do it again.
## How to apply
We have a non-standard application process. We don't believe in
tests, we believe in work. To jump-start the process send us your resume
and a cover letter explaining how you fit best those requirements .
After you apply, you are going to hear back from us, even if we don't
seem like a good fit. After that, we will invite you to a 30 days full
time, fully paid contract project working on production code. It’s a
time for both sides to mutually audition one another and decide whether
it feels like a great fit. We feel so strongly about this that we offer a
full pay-out for the entire 30 days in the event things don’t work out.
