Senior Front End Developer
Senior Front End Developer
We are looking for an experienced front end developer to work on our online design platform. Our technology allows users to design garments that will be knitted on Kniterate’s digital knitting machine.
You will help by supporting the team in adding a greater range of CAD and social features: from parametric templates of all sorts of knit objects to simulation and social features.
Your Work at Kniterate
You’ll be continuously collaborating with the Kniterate team:
- Using state of the art technologies (GraphQL, React/Redux, WebAssembly), continuous integration, and rigorous testing to deliver a modern, progressive web app
- Coordinating efforts with other developers to achieve excellent integration
- Implementing an intuitive UX with an eye to design
- Crafting a large, complicated system with high code quality and excellent documentation
- Communicating effectively with a distributed team
You will have the opportunity to make a very significant contribution to a unique and powerful tool, and to grow into new technologies with significant, never-done-before technical challenges.
About You
Knowledge about knitting is a plus but not a requirement. There will be initial training to get up to speed with digital knitting machine technology.
Requirements
- 5 years of professional experience
- Proficiency with most of our stack: Typescript, Go, React, Redux, WebGL
- Strong UI/UX sensibilities
- Written and spoken fluency in English
Nice to have
- Experience developing CAD, simulation, gaming, or other high-performance computer graphics
- Experience developing social platforms
- DevOps or SRE experience
- Knowledge of GraphQL, MongoDB, and AWS (ECS/EC2)
- Experience as a user of CAD systems (3D modeling, photo editing, mechanical, CAM, EDA)
Working hours: Full time
Location: Starting remote with the possibility of relocating to the UK and/or the US in the second half of 2019
Start date: February 2020
Compensation: Competitive market salary rates in your area or a mix of salary and ownership in the company through options grants.
