About the role

As a Full-stack JavaScript developer at Forestreet you will build on an already great product.

To quote one of our US customers “I have access to 40,000 data providers and not one of them can do what the Forestreet team can do!”

There will be unique engineering challenges, room to grow your career and close support from the leadership team.

What you can expect:

  • You will report to our Lead Engineer and work, with a team of engineers who are passionate about the code they write
  • You will work on a frontend unlike any you have experienced before, with no forms, and a very visual, unique interface
  • To work autonomously and take ownership. You will thrive with the space and responsibility to solve problems
  • To own features end to end that require out of the box thinking. Some of these - features may interact with data scientist APIs
  • Write and maintain endpoints in our Express App, using Node
  • Creating new Components, Views and Contexts in our React app.
  • Architecting and building out our API
  • Defining Cypress tests and shipping these along with your front-end code. Writing elegant, tested code

As well as sharing our ambitions and values you will have:

  • Experienced building front-ends in React using functional components and Hooks
  • Experienced building well designed and architected APIs using Node / Express
  • Good proficiency in TypeScript
  • Good proficiency in writing optimized SQL queries
  • Experience owning the entire feature creation, back-end and front-end
  • A background working in agile and in sprints
  • Prior experience building SPAs, designing APIs, and writing endpoints in Node using Express.
  • A preference to operate without lots of bureaucracy. At Forestreet we don’t hide - behind fancy job titles or clunky processes ‘because that’s how things are done’
  • A logical approach to your work. We are not afraid to make mistakes but we use data and logic to back up decisions and improve our understanding
