React Front-end Developer for Marketplace Startup

About the job

As Objektia’s front-end developer you will have the overall responsibility and ownership of the client facing side of the Objektia Platform. Objektia is a data driven marketplace startup with a strong focus on technology which means that your role will extend beyond committing code to being a part of deciding how and what we should build. You will be working with a stack consisting of a React front-end that communicates via a RESTful API with our  Python back-end hosted in the Google Cloud Platform.

The role is an integral part of Objektia’s future growth, where you will be an early member of a small team investing heavily in product development. You will work closely together with our back-end developer, our product manager, and the rest of the team to turn product plans into continuously pushed code. Examples of challenges you will face include; creating a dynamic and responsive interface using many different information sources such as Google Maps APIs, working with architectural changes to improve performance, and participating in UX changes and new functionality such as user accounts.

How we work

We work with one week sprints and 3 month road maps that translate directly into your work tasks. In our workflow we use planning and communication tools such as Slack and Github. We leverage external services when building required functionality such as Keen, imgix and CircleCI. Being a small organization, we’re all part of the same team. Decisions are made fast and everyone’s opinion is highly valued. It’s a full time job and you’ll be located at our Stockholm office where the spoken language is English.

Skills & Requirements

You’re highly passionate about programming with a proven track record of writing beautiful and maintainable code. You keep up to date with trends within the web development community such as ES6, responsive images and Web Components. Working in a small organization suits you, where you enjoy managing your own projects as well as being a part of creating the workflows that are adapted to you and the rest of the organization. You find the opportunity to build something new and taking pride in your architectural decisions exciting.
