Frontend offer

DESCRIPTION

Visitame is looking for an enthusiastic frontend engineer to join to the team. In this role you will have significant responsibility in our project development team. Visitame looks for developers who take ownership of their code.

ABOUT US

We are Visitame, a Proptech startup which combines the best of Home IoT (Hardware and Software) to create an optimized and radically improved Real Estate selling process. We have already successfully launched an Alpha version to the market and we're ready now to scale it technically and commercially. We're a well-funded startup, with top corporate Real Estate clients and backed by 7r Ventures.

ABOUT YOU

You love code. You love to build great products with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You know JavaScript is imperfect, but you embrace its functional side and genuinely enjoy coding with it. You might like to talk about obscure computer science topics, but really, you just want to write simple code and ship new products and features to customers.

You love great UX. You have an eye for great design and a feel for great UX, you care about more than just the code.

You love learning new things. You love playing with new tech. Your focus is on frontend JavaScript code, but you can dig in wherever needed. Node.js, CSS, build tools, you name it.

You can balance lots of concerns. Frontend apps have to take into account performance (using networks and devices that we can't control), customer demands, A/B tests, UX research, code quality, a rapidly changing ecosystem of languages and modules, and the list goes on. And we actually want to ship things too! You can balance those demands without getting overwhelmed and keep the needle moving forward.

You love helping others. You share knowledge with the rest of your team, and directly helping customers.

TECHNOLOGY STACK

We work with a pretty cool stack:

  • Frontend: React, Redux, Socket.io, Jest.
  • Backend: Node.js, Koa, Socket.io
  • Infrastructure / Database: Firestore, now.sh, Travis, Twilio

REQUIREMENTS

  • 2+ years of frontend development, or in a similar role.
  • Experience with a modern framework is definitelly a plus, but not required.
  • You are experienced with modern web development practices and frameworks. You’ve worked on real projects at scale and feel confident solving complex problems.
  • Experience building and scaling web applications
  • Good communicator and fluent in English.
  • Team player.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer a competitive salary of 30-35k, based on your experience. From day one. We don't offer things like ping pong tables, catered meals in the office, and other "perks" designed to keep you at work for all of your waking hours. We want you to put in quality hours then go live your life, rest, and recharge so you can come back fresh to do it again.

HOW TO APPLY

We have a non-standard application process. We don't beleive in tests, we believe in work. To jump-start the process send us to hola@visitame.app your resume and a cover letter explaining how you fit best those requirements. After you apply, you are going to hear back from us, even if we don't seem like a good fit. After that, we will invite you to a 30 days full time, fully paid contract project working on production code. It’s a time for both sides to mutually audition one another and decide whether it feels like a great fit. We feel so strongly about this that we offer a full pay-out for the entire 30 days in the event things don’t work out.
