REQUIREMENTS

• Experience building web apps with React and Typescript
• A solid understanding of GraphQL. Prior experience with React Apollo GraphQL and codegen are a bonus.
• Experience with Javascript and the Javascript ecosystem. For example, you know how to bootstrap a new product or library.
• You should be a fast learner. We often venture into unknown territory so you should be a Google-fu master and have experience-driven intuition.
• You should have a strong understanding of software architecture with opinions on “the right way” to do things.
• You should be a “do-er”. You will have a lot of autonomy over your own work, and you will be expected to work with the team to make sure your projects get shipped.
• You work well with others and enjoy sharing your knowledge and leading by example.
• You should love the colour green. We’re putting a big focus on delivering well-tested and super solid software!

As a senior frontend developer, you will help build new features and modules, you’ll be involved in shaping our underlying product frameworks and our internal processes like code reviews and deployment, and you’ll get to participate in feature planning and have real input on the direction we take the product and the company as a whole.
You’ll be joining a small team where your specific experience will have great impact. You will have a lot of autonomy over your own work and you will get to use your expertise to lead by example.
Deskpro is a small company, and that means you will sometimes be expected to dip in and out of various roles as needs arise. You will learn a lot through the varied work, and you will get satisfaction in shipping software that gets used by thousands.
