• Develop and integrate robust, scalable front-end features using frameworks like React.
• Creating well-documented, high-performance rest APIs and GraphQL endpoints.
• Collaborate closely with UX/UI designers to implement their visions.
• Supporting teammates in their work and provide feedback in a well-structured manner.
• Helping define and improve our internal standards regarding code style, maintainability and scalability, among others.
• Working with clients to train and support in-house development teams and stakeholders in working with the software products we develop.

You will have a strong background in delivering high quality, reliable software solutions using modern software development techniques and working as part of a fully integrated team. We would also expect you to be able to demonstrate:

• Experience with the development of (web) applications on senior level.
• Trackrecord of developing NodeJS based server-side JavaScript/TypeScript applications with frameworks like Express or Apollo.
• Proficiency in front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and modern frameworks (React, Angular, ).
• Knowledge of responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and front-end build tools.

• Good knowledge of modern software development techniques (unit/integration testing, ci/cd pipelines, etc).

• Experience running NodeJS applications on containerised (Docker/Kubernetes) and/or serverless (Lambda) functions.

• Experience with event driven software architecture and messaging queues such as SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ
• Knowledge of AWS/Azure and infrastructure as code principles (Terraform)
• Experience writing applications in the e-commerce domain such as payment solutions, links to ERP and order systems, etc.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken (and thus able to deliver documentation and help with training, for example)

Pre:

• Experience supporting and mentoring junior software developers, and contributing to a productive team environment.
