Front End Developer

Job Description

Do you like building great products?

That’s what we’re doing here at Mynewsdesk. And we want more people with awesome skills to join our team!

We’re looking for a front end developer that is passionate about building web applications with cutting edge technologies.

What is it like at Mynewsdesk?

We offer a workplace where you will be working in a small team, usually around five people, including developers, a designer and a product owner. All teams have their own areas of responsibility but are working together towards a common goal and an overall vision for the whole product team.

The teams use Scrum methodology, aiming to do pair or mob program every day. Even though we have separate teams we share our knowledge and interests between each other via cross-team meetings related to specific issues, such as front end development.

We believe you have to be inspired to build the best product possible. That’s why we have regular lab days, encourage remote work, host internal developer conferences and maker parties, and whatever else rocks your boat. It’s all up to you!

In our day-to-day, we work closely with team designers, product owners, and product marketers, as well as other people that help us deliver the best possible products. We mainly craft applications based on Rails, React and Sass, but will always choose the right tool for the job.

Our stack

• React, Ruby on Rails, Bootstrap
• MongoDB, Postgres
• Heroku
• Cloudinary, Semaphore
• Karma, Mocha, Chai

Some of the tools we use

• Trello, Slack, Screenhero
• Sketch, InVision, Marvel
• Code Climate
• Keen, New Relic, Optimizely, Google Analytics
• … and more

What do we expect from you?

You’re proud of the work that you do, creating high quality code and staying on top of trends in the front end community. You’ve got a good eye for detail and design, and you work proactively to find innovative solutions and developments. You’re not afraid to take initiative and you’re hungry to learn more.

Does this sound like your cup of tea? Please send us your application or just drop a line to [email protected] and we’ll talk more!

We are our employees. Our employees are the heart of our company. Fun, challenging, brilliant individuals who create greatness together. A positive, familiar, and passionate atmosphere is a common denominator at all our offices. We work together, we play together. The company is continually growing. As an employee at Mynewsdesk, you will become part of the red family, and we hope that you want to grow with us.
