Front-End JavaScript Engineer, Enterprise Shopping Platform, NZ's next big thing

  • Full-time

Company Description

We have started a new independent organisation to create a New Zealand B2C marketplace ecosystem that will provide customers access to the widest range of products and best delivery & service options. This is a rare opportunity to join a start-up environment with highly talented individuals to build the next big digital business in New Zealand. We are well funded with support and access to resources from one of NZ's leading companies.

Job Description

This role is all about pitching in. We're in full start-up mode so while you will have a focus on front end development, you'll be rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in wherever you can add value.

You are passionate about web development and understand the latest frontend technologies. You know that delivering an experience and not just building them is of prime importance: you make sure your software ships, and you are able to make the practical tradeoffs to prioritize work to manage timelines.

  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript ES5 and ES6/2015
  • React, Angular, or Vue experience - we aren't fussed which
  • Bootstrap or similar ui framework
  • Build systems like Webpack or similar
  • UI testing beneficial
  • Any backend experience with node/php/java/.net and mysql/mariadb or any database is well regarded
  • Solid thinker with good communications skills

Additional Information

  • Approaches challenges with an open mindset, creativity, hunger and lots of energy
  • Strong desire to build something great and thrive on the marathon like challenge to get there
