Senior Core Javascript Fullstack Developer

We're looking for a Full Stack JavaScript developer with experience in building web-based products or components for photo, video, or text editing to join our Core team. If you don’t have this exact experience but have worked with graphics and animations (e.g., Infinite Canvases, WebGL, SVG, Web Animations API, charts, physics engines) or on B2B/B2C SaaS platforms with a heavy frontend, we encourage you to apply.

You will work with a team of engineers coordinated by the product manager, and collaborate with the product designer to quickly validate and implement product ideas. Additionally, you'll maintain regular contact with our Operations Engineer, QA, and Support teams.

This is a remote position under a service agreement. Our Engineering teams’ workday typically starts around 11AM (GMT+1 time zone). Therefore, the maximum allowable time zone difference is plus or minus 4 hours so we can all stay connected.

Who we are:

Readymag is a browser-based design tool that helps create all kinds of web publications: landing pages, portfolios, magazines, websites, multimedia longreads and pitch decks.

We are a fully distributed team with a strong international user community and client-oriented service. We value a culture of questions and curiosity with a ‘measure what can be measured’ approach. Our engineering team takes full ownership of the code in production. We write tests and maintain documentation, review code and deploy multiple times a day.

Here are some buzzwords for good measure: TypeScript, React, Emotion, Design Systems, Backbone, Valtio, Jotai, esbuild, AWS, Serverless, Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub Actions, MongoDB, Redis, Next.js, Deno.

What you will do:

• Architect, design, and implement new features;
• troubleshoot and fix bugs;
• support and refactor existing code;
• drive improvements to existing codebase and development processes;
• collaborate with cross-functional teams;
• maintain documentation;
• develop and support internal tools and libraries.
  

You will mainly develop 80% of the front-end; about 20% of the tasks will be on the back-end. However, it is important for us that you understand how back-end works.

What we expect:

• 5+ years of experience in product development;
• advanced low-level experience with modern browser APIs and web technologies;
• proficiency in the modern React ecosystem;
• a solid understanding of content delivery and network technologies, including HTTP/S, DNS, CDN, and caching techniques;
• experience in architecting, building, deploying, and supporting API services using Node.js and TypeScript;
• strong experience with testing frameworks and methodologies;
• understanding of performance optimization techniques;
• knowledge of security best practices and experience implementing security measures.

Would be a plus:

• Experience working on non-trivial GUIs, including spatial, visual, collaborative software, data visualization, etc;
• knowledge of containerization technologies in cloud environments.

What you’ll get:

• Remote work with a flexible schedule;
• 28 weekdays of paid annual leave;
  access to a corporate laptop;
• compensation for coworking space fees;
• language courses;
• compensation for sports or other physical activities;
• access to mental health support services;
• the freedom to think beyond established patterns.

The hiring process:

It's entirely remote and runs in three stages:

• A 20-minute call with our HR representative, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the job. We’ll also ask you to fill out a form with a few technical questions that don't require special preparation;
• a technical interview with our CTO and Core team representative. This usually takes around 60 minutes, including technical questions and a free-form feature design/review. You don’t need to write code during the interview;
• a finalizing call with Diana Kasay, CEO of Readymag.

A few days after the final stage, we’ll reach out to you with a decision.

How to apply:

Use the application form in our HR system to send us your CV and a cover letter summarizing your relevant work experience and explaining why you’d like to join the Readymag team. If your experience matches our requirements, we’ll get back to you and schedule the next step.
