What's the opportunity?
The Okendo platform has significant adoption and a loyal customer following
among high-performance Shopify retailers. After a recently securing our first
round of investment, we’re doubling down on our early success by growing our
team, launching a number of new and innovative features and scaling customer
acquisition.
This role will provide a forward-thinking and passionate Front-End Developer
the opportunity to be apart of a team dedicated to developing products with
intuitive design and beautiful code.
What will I be responsible for?
The role is yours to make. We’re growing the team and we need a motivated
front-end developer to integrate with our team to build an awesome user
experience across the Okendo platform.
(1) You’ll work with our Co-Founder / CTO and development team to define the
product vision and development requirements.
(2) You’ll take ownership of the front-end ensuring our software is scalable,
elegant and user-friendly.
(3) You’ll participate in UI, UX, and product planning sessions.
(4) You’ll work with a knowledgeable and experienced team to rapidly iterate
new development while improving the current systems.
What does our tech stack look like?
We’re built on AWS, and our back-end is powered by Lambda and DynamoDB (we
have a serverless architecture). We have a close integration with Shopify
through APIs in the back-end and Shopify liquid templates on the front-end.
The JavaScript embedded in our client stores is as lean as possible to ensure
high performance loading. Our app administration area is written in Angular.
We bundle with Webpack. We take our JavaScript to the next level with
TypeScript, and VS Code is our editor-of-choice.
What experience and qualifications do I need?
You should be familiar with building a Single Page Application in JavaScript
and using scalable and modular CSS methodologies such as BEM or SMACSS. You
should take pride in pixel perfect implementations, and be able to write HTML
and SASS in your sleep. You should have an eye for design, UX, and what makes
an elegant and professional software product.
We use Angular for our app’s administration area, so experience with Angular
is a major plus. Knowledge of Web Accessibility / WCAG 2.0 best practices
would be great.
What are the benefits?
(1) Significant career opportunity for an enthusiastic front-end developer
ready to join a proven, high growth tech startup at the relatively early
stage.
(2) Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
(3) Opportunity to travel with annual company-wide excursions.
(4) Joining an experienced, talented and highly motivated team.
(5) MacBook Pros are our standard, but we’re happy to get you whatever
equipment you need.
(6) Work in a great location, a stone's throw away from Martin Place and
Wynyard Stations, at WeWork (333 George Street) - A hub for Sydney’s tech
start-ups with some great perks.
(7) Exposure to the best ecommerce brands globally and the rapidly growing
Shopify ecosystem.
(8) Attendance to tech events and ongoing support for industry training and
skill development.
