We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Developer who has a product mindset and is not afraid to go outside of their comfort zone! You''ll have the freedom to make impactful changes and collaborate with a supportive team to tackle complex topics and balancing quick delivery with low tech debt. Your contributions will be crucial in enhancing our app''s user experience and driving frontend implementations forward, ensuring our product continually improves and evolves.

Why do we need this role?
In short, we need more Frontend power to really drive our product forward. There is a lot of room for improvements in our app and a need to optimize the usage of it. With this, you will work on delivering features in a timely manner, take part in estimations as well as scoping down the features and keeping regression low.

What makes this role exciting?

One of the best things here is the freedom you are given with an opportunity to make a real impact on our product. If you have a great idea, you’ll be able to start implementing it without the need to go through a whole process. You are free to improve things you notice, an outdated library? No one will stop you updating it. Legacy code you think you can refactor? Go for it!
Our Frontend Chapter is also an amazing community in which you can learn a lot, discuss improvements or share ideas. They will also have your back, so if you’re stuck, you can count on your team that they would be willing to help, no matter how complex the issue

What are the biggest challenges?

Firstly, some issues with performance you will be faced with are definitely challenging, finding these issues would require deep research, but with this comes learning as you’ll be able to investigate some intricacies of how React works!

Another challenge is that you’ll need to be able to deliver fast, all while keeping the tech debt small. You need to think about the product first and not only about shipping perfect code, while the code may not be perfect, it still adds significant value. This doesn’t mean ship low-quality code, but more so having the ability to make responsible conclusions without sacrificing quality. The priority is product and delivery.

What would be achieved over 6 months?
Within 6 months you would have become a key and valued Frontend team member, taking ownership and driving Frontend implementations forward. You would have shared knowledge, in your team and the Frontend chapter. You would collaborate closely with multiple team members, especially Product Design to support in improving the User Experience of our app, whilst also proposing best practices for keeping the UI easy to maintain and extend.

What equips you best for the role?

Fluent English will help you to communicate with your team members effectively.
You''ll be getting your hands dirty with our primary language, TypeScript, using features such as generics, type manipulation, and decorators on a daily basis.
Deep knowledge of React to be able to investigate any performance issues you may come across.
You’ll be collaborating with many team members across Candis. Being involved in discussions around what we should be doing/advising us. So an ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical people is needed.
Able to take ownership of projects or features, involving scoping down, estimates, making sure people are aligned.
You enjoy being a mentor! You will be sharing your knowledge with multiple team members and helping them in their growth and development.

Bonus points if you have the following:

Our Backend is predominantly Node.js. So any experience here will set you up for success and make it easier for you to understand how a number of features work.
We communicate with our Backend using GraphQL. Prior knowledge of it will help you get up to speed quickly.

Don''t worry about formalities. We care about you and your motivation – not the font size of your CV. We know that perfect candidates don’t exist, so even if not all of this applies to you, we’d love to learn more about you!

Feel free to contact us via e-mail, give us a call, drop by the office, or send a pigeon our way. We’re looking forward to hearing from you! :)
