We are looking for a frontend developer to grow our team. Your main responsibility will be to develop new user interfaces for several of our ongoing projects, while also extending and improving the user interface of our main platform.
We are looking for a mid-level Frontend Developer with an interest in design. You have two to three years of experience under your belt, and are eager to take on a more challenging project. You know how to operate within a small team of experienced developers, are comfortable working with issue trackers, and have used Git at previous jobs.
In addition to these skills, you are also a team player, and a good communicator. You understand the value of well-documented code that is easy to understand by others. You don’t just implement other people’s designs, but bring your own ideas to the table, and know how to convince others of the value of your ideas. You know how to communicate directly and openly, and how to give and take constructive criticism while being considerate of your peers.
More importantly than your skills, you are a quick learner. You are quick to familiarize yourself with large code bases, and not afraid to learn new technologies should the need arise. When you don’t know something, your first impulse is to figure out how to do it yourself, rather than ask someone else to do it for you!
- Two to three years of experience in frontend development
- Strong knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (experience with ES6 is a pre)
- Knowledge of modern web APIs, such as Promises, WebGL, and Workers
- Experience with JSX, Webpack, React, and Yarn is strongly preferred
- Familiarity with backend technologies such as Node and MySQL is a pre
- Comfortable working with issue trackers
- Experience working with Git
- A relevant degree is preferred, but not required
Borges has a passionate start-up culture where everything you do matters. We offer an environment where you get to work on an exciting product, using cutting-edge technologies, and working with experienced professionals. There is a lot of room to develop your skills, and have a large impact on the project.
Unlike many start-ups, we take work-life balance seriously. Our engineers work from nine to six, and are not expected to answer their phone after that. Rather than making vague promises about potential stock packages, we believe in offering a competitive salary instead.
Our office at the Marineterrein is in the centre of Amsterdam.
