React Front-End Developer For Marketplace Startup

As yta.se’s second front-end developer you will share overall responsibility and ownership of the client facing side of the yta.se Platform. yta.se 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 yta.se’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 lead 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 iteratively with one week sprints and one 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. The start date of the position is flexible but preferably as soon as possible.

You’re highly passionate about programming with a proven track record of writing beautiful and maintainable code. Your profile is either full frontend or full stack. You keep up to date with trends within the web development community such as ES2015 and testing and building tools. 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.

Building the future of office space search
At yta.se we are working on building the best tools for finding office space online. Finding an office is a broken process many years behind it's peers in the private real estate market. Our marketplace strives to be the solution to that problem through quality of data and currently serves thousands of companies each month. The technical challenge that lies at the heart of our mission is to map the entire industry from address to the availability of bike parking spots, in an environment where this data largely has to be provided by us.
