Senior Front End Developer

We are looking for an experienced engineer 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 features: from parametric templates of all sorts of knit objects to sophisticated fuzz testing for fuzzy sweaters.

Your Work at Kniterate

You’ll be collaborating with the Kniterate team:

• Using state of the art technologies (React/Redux, WebGL, GraphQL, WebAssembly), continuous integration, and rigorous testing to deliver a modern, progressive web app
• Crafting a large, complicated system with high code quality and excellent documentation
• Communicating effectively with a distributed team, and coordinating to achieve excellent integration

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, novel technical challenges.

About You

Knowledge about knitting is a plus but certainly 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, 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
• DevOps or SRE experience
• Knowledge of GraphQL, MongoDB, Docker, or Go
• Experience as a user of CAD systems (3D modeling, photo editing, mechanical, CAM, EDA)

Working hours: Full time
Location: Local to Cambridge, MA or London, UK, or remote with the possibility of relocating to the UK or US.
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.
