Fullstack Developer (React, Node.js, Next.js)

Sportserve

Job Description

We're looking for someone with strong front end skills who is familiar with a modern component framework like React or Vue, with experience in a back end framework like NextJS (preferably) and Express. When it comes to being successful at Sportserve, there's more to it than just being really good at the technical stuff. It's also your ability to be an awesome problem solver.

You'd spend most of your time developing new exciting projects, for example:

Building a new front-facing and back-office application from scratch
Taking part in new payment provider integrations
Architecture and developing new features
Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations
Meeting business stakeholders to understand the problems they wish to address
You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on challenging problems and prototyping different ideas.
You wouldn't be just churning through tickets in the backlog - you'd be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we're even building and why.

While being a somewhat big company, we're split into small teams which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. We're looking for a programmer, but you'd also help out with things like:

Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make
Maintaining the ownership of our product, and assisting in troubleshooting production incidents
Take part in OOH on-call application support rota

List of skills we think you need:

JavaScript
Typescript
React
Node.js
Next.js
JS package managers (NPM, Yarn, pnpm)
Git (branching, creating pull requests, resolving merge conflict)
Bash and Linux in general, SSH
HTTP and REST
SQL and RDBMS schema design and performance optimisation

Tools we think you need to be familiar with:

Babel
Eslint
Jest
Webpack
K8 & Docker & docker-compose
Gitlab with CI/CD
TailwindCSS
OpenAPI
RESTful API design
Markdown (for documentation)
Experience with Kibana and Grafana

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or any related technical field.
3+ years of relevant work experience
Excellent command of the English language - written & spoken.
Attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Collaborative team player.
