About the role:

We are looking for a Full-Stack JavaScript Developer to join our Product team, as our infrastructure and stack setup continues to expand to accommodate new applications. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining applications that work seamlessly from server to client. Using a wide range of technologies and languages, you will develop applications and be responsible for front-end and back-end work. Our services are largely based in AWS, making experience with AWS services a benefit. A successful candidate is someone who is comfortable recommending and actioning on server configuration, frameworks, and all aspects of application development.

Job responsibilities:

• You will employ best practices to develop well-designed, testable, and efficient software.
• You will set up the infrastructure needed to host new and existing Node.js back-end services.
• You will take ownership of Node.js services and applications, including server maintenance and deployments.
• You will seamlessly move between front-end client-side development, and back-end server-side development.
• You will be responsible for efficient database design and proper data architecture.
• You will need to understand our existing databases, and be able to write new code, services, and tables to interact with them (sometimes directly, and sometimes via endpoints in our other frameworks).
• You will work with frameworks and languages such as Node.js, MySQL, Vue.js, Nuxt.js, CSS, and HTML, and have opportunities for exposure to our other stacks (PHP, etc.).
• You will communicate effectively with team members both inside and outside of the department.
