Job Description
Help us build a world-class scheduling solution! We are looking for an enthusiastic Software Engineer (Angular) to help develop our industry-leading product in line with best engineering practices to deliver a great user experience for our many customers worldwide. This product is a key part of IFS’ Field Service Management offering which has been named an industry leader for the past 6 years by Gartner, beating the likes of Microsoft, Oracle and SAP.
As a Software Engineer, you will be joining our team of Software Engineers, Data Scientists, and QA Engineers, spread across 6 countries, who help develop IFS' Planning & Scheduling Optimization (PSO) product. We are loosely split into different workstreams covering the solution's user interface, backend, and optimization algorithms, as well as the machine learning capabilities that we are currently adding, but there is plenty of collaboration between streams, and some people regularly work across streams. At any given time, there will usually be 5-8 engineers working on the User Interface (UI).
The PSO UI is built using Angular 15, TypeScript, and Sass. Although this role primarily focuses on the frontend development, there is scope to get involved with the backend development as well. The backend has a multi-service C# architecture, while parts of our Machine Learning functionality use Python. We have extensive automated testing in C# with MSTest and Selenium, and in TypeScript with Jasmine.
The product can be deployed on Kubernetes, both into Azure (using AKS) and on-premise, as well as directly onto Azure VMs and on-premise, supporting SQL Azure, SQL, and Oracle databases. This wide scope means that we rely heavily on CI/CD principles in order to make sure we deliver a quality product. We, therefore, have a strong focus on automated testing during development, continuously adding new unit and UI tests, and using gated check-ins to make sure our changes do not impact quality.
Tasks include but are not limited to:
- Developing a modern, enterprise-standard web UI.
- Analyzing and interpreting the requirements to fulfil the domain needs both from a User Experience (UX) and functional perspective.
- Applying best engineering and architectural concepts.
- Ensuring product performance and maintainability by adhering to IFS’ standards, guidelines, processes, and tools.
- Performing comprehensive testing and adding automated tests as part of the development process.
- Participating in design and code reviews.
- Actively participating in communication with stakeholders to ensure the solution is fit for purpose.
- Thought Leadership – ensuring that IFS is utilising the latest technology & promoting our products
- Maintaining technical knowledge sharing throughout the teams
Qualifications
- A passion for great User Interface design and UX.
- Expertise in Object-Oriented design and development of modern web UI components and applications, ideally in Angular and CSS. Knowledge in Sass or C# would be a definite plus.
- A quality-first mindset and are convinced of the benefits of writing automated tests. Experience with Jasmine and Selenium would be a great optional extra.
- An enthusiastic attitude and proactive when faced with challenges.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, and ideally are used to collaborating internationally.
- A university degree or equivalent professional qualifications.
