Ember.js/Frontend Developer

Job Description

We are looking for a frontend developer to join the engineering team here at Load Impact. You will be involved in the development of our new single page app based on the Ember.js framework. Since we are currently in a growth phase with an exciting roadmap ahead of us you will contribute to the design and implementation of several new major features. You should have a passion for customer focused products and for expanding your knowledge and educating yourself about your stack.

We are a small team and value team players with good communication skills. We have an agile way of working where collaboration, feedback and trust are important aspects. We try to minimize meetings and work asynchronously using Trello, Github, CircleCI and HipChat. This allows developers flexibility in terms of choosing location to work from.

This position is for our office located in Stockholm, Sweden. A very scenic city, with excellent infrastructure, clean streets, low crime, many bars, fantastic coffee. A bit cool in winter, but who cares, we just buy more coffee. There is also a very vibrant tech startup scene in Stockholm, much thanks to companies like Spotify, Skype, King.com (Candy crush), Mojang (Minecraft) and others that started and are still operating here. The city is attracting more and more world-class IT entrepreneurs and developers - it is a very dynamic environment to work in, with a lot of industry colleagues to hang out with and learn from. Our office is very centrally located, by the way, with a fantastic view of the city harbour :)

At Load Impact English is the default language, we are made up of people from Canada, Spain, Sweden and the US.

• Develop our single page app based on the Ember.js interfacing with our API.
• Maintain a scalable and modular CSS architecture
• Develop our test suite to make sure it keeps an even pace with the development of the app

Load Impact is the world’s most widely used online load testing service, with over 150,000 users from 190+ countries and over a million executed load tests - Google “web load test"! 

We are a small company but very experienced in developing applications for performance testing and monitoring. Starting way back in 2000, we have been developing performance test and measurement software for customers such as Nasdaq and the European space agency. We have written both hardcore, low-level networking software and high-level web user interfaces and become quite good at both of those things. We pride ourselves on understanding the lower levels of a networked application while at the same time realizing how incredibly important UX is. In 2009 we took the step and launched loadimpact.com. In 2011 it was made into a pure cloud service, and we have never looked back.

We are located in Stockholm, Sweden and New York City, USA.
