We’re looking for a Frontend developer!
We’re Localistico, a London-based startup with a top team that have
worked in companies like Google, Yelp or Tuenti. We have offices in both
central London and Madrid, although our team works remotely most of the
time (with quarterly in-person meetups).
We are building a platform to help marketing teams bridge online and
offline. We believe that the way people find and interact with
real-world locations is different from just websites. We think advances
in geotargeting and analytics in platforms like Google and Facebook,
plus the digitalization of brick & mortar locations will
increasingly create new ways to reach customers and enhance business
value - but will at the same time bring complexity. We are here to
simplify that complexity.
We’re revenue-generating and our current clients include brands like
Starbucks, Morrisons and Foxtons. We have been part of Wayra and
SeedRocket accelerators, were awarded a KPMG Shift100 Marketing Tech and
are a Google Premier Partner.
Your mission, should you wish to accept it, is to join us as a
frontend developer to help us grow and build the user-facing components
of the platform.
Our platform:
Localistico's backend is based on a mix of Ruby on Rails and Python
components, the latter particularly for the data processing and
integration pieces. Data storage is mostly PostgreSQL, Redis/resque and
ElasticSearch. Our frontend is a web app in Ember.js. Our whole
deployment is cloud based with Codeship+Heroku. We use github as code
repository and issues platform (with a bit of help from CodeTree)
Your role:
Your focus will be on the Localistico frontend applications, mostly
written as Ember.js single-page webapps. Your tasks will include various
integrations with our platform APIs, working out useful reports and
visualizations (including lots of maps) and making sure the interactions
and the UX delight our users.
We would like you to have:
Great hands-on experience with html5/css and scss/sass. As well as
handlebar templates, leaflet, chartist or equivalent JS libraries.
Experience integrating frontend with complex REST APIs and data models.
Working knowledge of Ember and/or other opinionated Javascript frameworks.
Well-rounded experience in software development and experience in
frontend development as part of a team, as well as updating/maintaining
other team members’ code. We particularly value experience in maps and
geo, reporting, visualizations and other complex data management.
Having worked in sort-of-large Javascript applications before and/or
in a startup environment would be good for extra brownie points, but not
mandatory.
We’re looking for the type of person that is always learning and
feeling ready to take new challenges (despite it being scary
sometimes!). We’d love to hear if you have some hobby or activity you’re
passionate about, apart from your work (everybody in the team has at
least one!). We would particularly like if you feel comfortable
collaborating with others and discussing solutions and alternatives to
problems.
What we offer:
Flexible location and hours: we are a distributed team and we plan
by goals, not times - work from wherever you are happiest and feel most
productive. For when you need an office, you'll have them in London and
Madrid.
Creative work: don’t just execute to guidelines but be a defining
part of a great team tackling an interesting problem and help us drive
the solution and the company culture.
Competitive salary (£3X-4XK) and equity participation (employee
stock options scheme), based on location and experience. Ask us for
details if you’d like to discuss, we’re very open about this. We want
everybody that is part of the project to share the uptake as we share
the work.
