We’re Hiring: Senior Front End Engineer
We’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to join us on our mission to build a Design Company that makes world-class financial products for a mobile-native generation.
If you love working in cross-functional teams and tame cutting-edge technology for breakfast, you’ll love working at Indie.
Indie looks, feels and works like a technology startup, but with the backing and expertise of a leading South African insurance and investment giant, Sanlam.
Our engineering team uses the latest technology to bring to life amazing client experiences. Our benchmark is not what other financial services companies are doing — we’re aiming for the stars.
What You’ll Do:
- Work closely with our product manager, designers and engineers to bring product designs and client experiences to life by architecting, building and shipping our products
- Actively identify and pursue opportunities to improve our products
- Collaborate with our engineers to recommend improvements in our technology stack to ensure we keep setting a new bar for client experience and performance
- Participate in code reviews and deliver mentorship to the rest of the engineering team
- Assist our Lead Engineer in establishing best practices and fostering a culture of continuous delivery
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- You have the ability to work on your own, sometimes spearheading a new direction with minimal guidance
- You are a Front End specialist with excellent command of JavaScript/CSS/HTML with knowledge of CSS pre-processors
- You have built consumer-facing interfaces and applications
- You have extensive experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, specially but not limited to, Node.js and React
- You not only know how to use these frameworks but you understand how the underlying technology works
- You have experience working with APIs, both RESTful and Socket
- You have built libraries and/or frameworks yourself
- You subscribe to security best practices
- You know how to optimise an application to improve responsiveness
- You have experienced with containerised architectures and have worked in an continuous delivery environment
- You are familiar with version control and GitFlow
Here’s what you get:
- Based out of our Cape Town offices with the flexibility of working remotely
- Steady supply of good coffee
- Competitive salary with annual performance-related bonuses
- Shiny new Mac
- An open and collaborative culture where you will be challenged every day
- The opportunity and freedom to really make a difference and leave your mark
