Who you are

A coder with passion — you love to ship code that solves real and important problems.

You are a builder, who is innately curious of customer's problem and come up with software that users can use with ease. You really enjoy using quick feedback loops to thoroughly understand problem and shape the solution.

You are a software Crasftsman, once the core of the problem is shaped, you switch gears towards using your craft of software engineering to build the solution that is easy to maintain and extend.

The Problem Solver

A big part of your job will be solving problems. You must enjoy the problem at least as much as the solution. You will often be working with Product and Design to both understand the problem as well as evaluate solutions. You will be expected to contribute your ideas, and to often demo you work – to your teammates, to management, and to the company.

The Enquirer

Understanding why we do things is at least as important as what we do. Many of our best ideas come from engineers who understand the bigger context of what we are doing. You have a critical mindset, and you strive to work from first principles as much as possible.

The Pragmatist

As a growing company, it is important to solve problems quickly because a new set of problems is (always) just around the corner. So, you will need to value pragmatism. You understand that most of product and engineering involves trade-offs. Deciding on these trade-offs is not easy. You understand that never compromising is just as bad as always compromising.

The Frontend Engineering Wizard

You have an advanced understanding and are highly skilled in Angular, Typescript/Javascript. You have an impressive track record of creating and implementing native web components using shadow DOM, custom elements, and web workers for enhancing interactions on existing webpages, specifically through the use of Chrome extensions. You stay updated with the latest developments in Frontend Engineering and new frameworks. Your passion extends beyond just coding as you love deciphering the rationale behind the design intent, understanding their components and life-cycles deeply. You keep yourself informed and enjoy reading about different techniques used in the construction of complex web interfaces.

The Frontend Innovation Architect

You are highly adept and have proven mastery in Angular, RxJS, and Typescript/Javascript. You specialize in designing and building frontend ecosystems using Chrome extensions to integrate native elements into existing webpages, thereby improving their interactivity. Your grasp of native web components and their functionalities within web browsers is outstanding. You have vast experience with NX, which you use deftly to develop libraries and release npm packages for both internal and external use. You have a keen appreciation for well-constructed architectures, especially those that blend server-side operations with user interfaces seamlessly. Security is a top priority in your software development process. Ultimately, your passion is more than just proficiency, you are continually striving to innovate and elevate user interface design and engagement.

What you will do

You will participate in the software development lifecycle through analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance of QVScribe. You will be coding using Angular, RxJS and Typescript/Javascript.

• Shape the Product: You will work with Product, Engineering, Design, Leadership and Customers to help shape product strategy.
• Develop the Product: By far the most important part of the job, you will develop software solutions to business problems. Leverage established design patterns and coding standards. You will build solutions that are secure, durable, scalable, flexible, and accessible and proactively mitigate against production support issues.

What you will know

• At least 3+ years of experience in programming languages such as Angular, Typescript/Javascript
• 2+ years of experience using modern front-end frameworks like Angular and React.
• 2+ years of experience in design and software patterns.
• 2+ years of experience in data structures, algorithm design, problem solving, complexity analysis and database architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to adapt to new technologies and learn quickly.
• Experience or desire for working on an empowered team to prototype, implement, and integrate various algorithms.
