What to do:

Your idea of a perfect offsite would be to perform code reviews with other developers. As our Frontend Engineer, you will implement new features for the George banking platform, and when needed, change and extend existing features. You’ll collaborate closely with business analysts in specking new features, initiate test coverage for existing features, and help bring innovative and delightful designs to life. We’re looking for mindful, empathetic, and self-aware engineers to join our team and make George shine for the user.

You check these boxes:

• Several years of experience building single page web applications
• Fluency in web development technologies with a good feel for what is and is not possible
• A bag-full of JavaScript (ES6), ReactJS, and Git skills; some TypeScript knowledge is also welcome
• Ninja-like skills of refactoring and working with legacy code
• Understanding the value of TDD, BDD and testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha, Jasmine) as a way to deliver software of higher value
• You love improving the design of existing code
