Junior JavaScript Developer

Niice is a Digital Asset Manager for creative teams, used by the likes of PlayStation, Nike and Disney to share their brand assets (logos, photos, videos, campaigns, etc) in a more visual way. It’s a bit like Notion for Brand teams.

We’re a proudly bootstrapped company passionate about building software to help creatives do their best work. We’re currently looking for two Junior JavaScript Developers who are ready for the challenge of working on a large, real-time application.

What you’ll be doing

We’re a small team, so your role will be varied. Initially, we’ll help get you up to speed on our product, how we use React, and the various other part of our app. Eventually, you’ll be working on both the frontend and server side code. Our technology stack is built around JavaScript and Ruby, and you’ll be working with experienced developers to learn all aspects of our app, from React and Next.js for our user interface to Ruby on Rails, Node.js and PostgreSQL on our back end. Where you’ll spend most of your time will depend on what you show an interest in and what you’re good at!

For your first 6 months, you’ll be working closely with our experienced engineers to complete an onboarding plan to help you get to know our app. We like to work collaboratively, so you’ll be pair programming regularly with other developers and you’ll have the opportunity to take part in code reviews so we can catch bugs and share knowledge with each other.

Once you’re up to speed, you will:

• Take part in sprint planning, collaborate with the development team and help plan the product roadmap

• Contribute to the full development lifecycle from design to implementation

• Help solve problems for users by identifying and fixing bugs in the existing system

• Work closely with the development team to identify opportunities and provide creative and innovative solutions to challenging technical problems

• Eventually you’ll be able to take ownership of new features and write clean, maintainable code to deliver on the Niice roadmap

Who we’re looking for

We hope to find someone who loves building things for the web and with some professional experience or a portfolio of completed projects. We don’t require a degree (although having one won’t hurt), but you will need to be familiar with JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It would also be great if you have any experience in the following:

• React.js (or a similar library)

• Node.js

• RESTful or GraphQL APIs

Benefits

• Generous holiday allowance: You’ll get 30 days of holiday per year, including bank holidays

• Remote friendly: If you live in Northern Ireland and don’t mind meeting up a few times a month, you can work from where ever you like

• Social days: As we’re remote, we like to meet up a few times a year to let off some steam

• Training allowance: Yearly training allowance for anything you like from books to online courses, in-person workshops and conferences

• The opportunity to do interesting work: Helping to build tools for the world’s most creative brands
