JavaScript Developer (React)

The client

Based in central London and picking up some major momentum, media attention and public awareness, the company are looking to tackle the problem of workplace misconduct. They’ve created an application that allows employees to report through to the end user (nominally a member of HR), who is able to view complaints through a SaaS platform. This allows them to use data analytics to pinpoint where the problem is and how they can address it.

The role

A few of their recent projects include:

• A cross-platform mobile application with secure cryptography modules (React Native).
• A web-frontend to allow customers to manage their own users (React).
• A backend API to tie everything together (NodeJS, run on AWS).

Having recently secured yet another round of funding they’re looking for a developer to join them who has solid engineering experience with React (at least a couple of years, though ideally more), as well as having developed applications in TypeScript. Ideally, they would like someone who has at least a years’ experience working in React Native, though if you’ve got solid React experience and are keen to learn then they’ll help you get up to speed.

The candidate

Key technologies needed: JavaScript, React.js, TypeScript. Any experience with React Native or any desire to learn would be a bonus!

They’re very culture focussed and in turn, are looking for someone who is collaborative and will fit straight in with the team. A few of the key traits they’re ideally going for are:

• Problem solving and hunger – energy, ambition and attitude are a big part of their ethos. They like to ‘show and tell,’ so you’ll always be teaching and learning new things.
• Have a strong enthusiasm for their core values.
• Strong communication skills – they’re very collaborative and like to bounce ideas off each other.
• Previous experience working in an Agile environment (they’re big, big fans).

Skills wise, on top of the key techs mentioned above, any of the following would be great:

• Have a strong knowledge of JavaScript and its associated ecosystems.
• Have a strong eye for both UX and UI.
• Any mobile experience would be a HUGE bonus (React Native, IOS, Android).

This is a great opportunity to join a company that has a clear plan of growth, who also offer a variety of great benefits and perks, a few of which are a bit different, such as a Deliveroo allowance for the team.
