The role
Bitfount is looking for a motivated, experienced, mid or senior-level Front End Developer to join our Engineering team and contribute to the development of user-facing features in our SaaS product. We're tackling lots of really interesting front-end problems at the intersection of data visualisation, AI/ML/Analytics workflows, integrations, enterprise functionality (e.g. for healthcare), and general UX aspects - all across both web and desktop apps. You'll be part of a strong cross-functional team (product, design, engineering).
You should be comfortable with high quality software practices (including code-reviews, testing practices, and software design), happy to work in a diverse team, be willing to participate in our team-led discussions, and generally be interested in making sure artificial intelligence and data are used to make the world a better place.
Your work will include:
- Crafting beautiful and usable user-facing experiences
- Working closely with the product team to help define and refine these experiences
- Developing reusable, responsive, accessible components using React
- Working with designers and backend engineers to build web and desktop interfaces that power our products and features
- Helping to shape engineering standards, practices and culture at Bitfount
You may be fit for this role if you:
- 5+ years of relevant web front-end development experience at a tech-forward, software company
- Solid knowledge of modern frontend technology stack (React, UI testing, Material UI)
- Advanced knowledge in JavaScript/TypeScript
- React/Next.js, Storybook, Cypress, GraphQL, Figma
- Experience developing and running build, test, and deployment tools in production environments
- Strong communication skills to bridge the gap between design, product, and engineering
- An exceptional contributor who creates and executes their own work
- Highly curious; not satisfied with getting something to work, you want to understand why it works and how to make it high quality
