Have you ever looked at some of the best SAAS apps and thought “I could build that” or “I would love to add a silicon valley company to my resume”? Here’s your opportunity.

Our product is a real-time, collaborative, web and mobile platform. The front-end relies heavily on Quasar (Vue), Vuex, Websockets, and Capacitor. Back-end is pure API with stellar performance.

We’re seeking a creative front-end engineer who can help our team produce stunning, professional, secure, and performant software.

Must haves:

• 2+ yrs experience building products with a modern JS framework; Vue preferred.
• Experience building with MVC or similar patterns
• Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS like the back of your hand
• A good eye for design, fonts, and the ability to create interfaces on-the-fly
• Self-starter and able to see projects through from idea to publish
• Independent problem solver. We work as a team but you must be able to sort out tough problems independently as well.
• Good communication in English.
• Able to have meeting on Pacific time (late/early are fine). Our team is global.

Nice to haves:

• Basic vector creation skills and a good working knowledge for Inkscape, Illustrator, or similar.
• Basic web animation skills.
• Minimal back-end understanding of APIs, web servers, and databases.
• Websockes & real-time bi-directional data experience
