We’re looking for an engineer who can take our client application to the next level, building brand new image editing tools, optimizing user flows, and contributing to prototyping and R&D of new technologies. This can be a project based, part time, or full time role.
For this role/project, you’ll primarily be working with our VueJS app. You’ll be designing and implementing exciting features for image editing. You’ll work with other developers to integrate new features from our API (and even working on your own backend features!). You’ll contribute to the maintenance and testing of our client code.
Please note that Canadian Resident candidates will be given preference.
(That doesn’t mean you have to be in Canada, just that you would qualify as a Canadian resident)
What you’ll do
- Build new and exciting features that will be directly used by our customers
- Analyze our user flows, brainstorm ideas, and implement solutions to help our customers use our platform
- Help develop powerful image editing tools alongside our other developers, using SVG, Canvas, Fabric, and more
- Continuously improve our codebase, drive architectural changes when necessary, and write tests as needed
- Write clean, well documented, and well tested code
- Contribute to code reviews
What we offer
You’ll work with other passionate remote developers and help build a product that will be shared with millions of people. We offer complete remote flexibility, part or full time roles, a minimum vacation policy, an annual company meetup (COVID permitting), a monthly allowance for coffees and snacks, and a program that lets you expense books of any kind to encourage learning. Our philosophy is simple—hire diverse, passionate people and foster a culture that empowers hard work and growth for everyone. We'll try to do everything to make sure you feel nourished, motivated, and supported. We want communicative, talented, organized people who get things done, just like us.
