Job description

Are you that engineer that likes to work on the complete system, instead of just a small part? Are you looking for a challenge to work in a scale-up environment where your tech skills truly make a difference? Then you just might be the frontend engineer that we are looking for. Check below whether you also think we’re a match made in heaven.

Foremost, we are not looking for just another engineer. We are looking for this passionate tech wizard that eats technical challenges for breakfast. Hell, you might even be so fanatic that you program during breakfast. You believe your tech can change the world. The personal journey towards that point is as important to you as developing itself. We think big and expect the same of you!

What does your work week look like?

At the start of each day the development team has their daily stand-up. After the stand-up, everyone who wishes to discuss problems/roadblocks they’re facing for their current work will have a short discussion and the rest of the team will continue working on the current sprint.

Our sprint usually comprises a mix of new features, general improvements and bugs that need to be squashed. The engineers write code for the feature, followed by writing some automated tests to confirm the feature works as intended. After this the code is ready to be reviewed by the other engineers which will provide feedback/thoughts.

Wednesdays are burrito days.

Thursdays we usually have a sprint refinement in which we take the time to refine certain feature requests, bugs or stories which have been added to the backlog recently.

Once every two weeks on Fridays we have a so called ‘Dev days' which allows the engineers to work on something that they deem necessary, will speed up their work or just adding nice to have features/improvements. The other Fridays are used to close the sprint and provide the rest of the team a short demo of some of the new work that was done during that sprint. These are then followed by a sprint retrospective where we discuss how the past two weeks have went (we like to keep improving ourselves!).

If this sounds like your ideal job, then Sendsteps is what you’re looking for. With our technology it is possible to get into the heads of your audience while presenting. That way you can truly interact with your audience. It’s Sendsteps’ mission to make every audience interaction, on- or offline, interactive. For 12 years we’ve been working round the clock to make this possible. At our office we have a relaxed scale-up vibe. We’re a bunch of young people on a path of great growth and we have a product, office and challenges to match.

Ow we almost forgot the time in between. You'll spend that doing what you love most; coding! As the job title says we expect you to have frontend skills. We write applications in React using Typescript. We also utilize Node.js and Next.js. We expect you to love to do that as well! It's even more awesome if you use Github Co-Pilot in your work, as we being an AI company really value the productivity boost it gives!

Requirements

Of course we have a clear view of our ideal candidate. This is on our wish list (we like to be spoiled but do understand you not always get everything you want)

Strong knowledge on writing quality React applications in Typescript.
Broad and extensive knowledge of the software development process and its technologies gained during at least 8 years of working experience.

Able to think out of the box when we need a creative solution
