React developers - work from home for a cutting-edge UK software startup - remote
Tired of feeling like an insignificant cog in a big machine? Had enough of strict work practices, outmoded coding standards, and draconian time management? Frustrated by your daily commute, or not seeing your awesome ideas adopted? We hate these things, too.
Axsy is passionate about creating outstanding software which delights its users. We’re revolutionising the Salesforce apps which are used by businesses around the world. We’ve operated as a remote-working team since we founded the company over 10 years ago, and will continue to do so even when pandemic restrictions are eased. We are looking for talented self-starters to join us. You can work from home or a shared workspace of your choosing.
Our team is mainly based in the UK and we're only looking for applicants who live in the UK. If you need to fit work hours around other commitments, that’s ok, and we trust that you can manage your own time effectively. We communicate using Slack, frequent video calls, and occasional in-person meet-ups (3-4 times per year). We're proud of both the team we’ve created and what we’ve achieved so far. We’re punching above our weight and are expanding our team to achieve even more.
We’re still a relatively small team. We’re all good at what we do and enjoy working together. You’ll have autonomy and respect from day one. No regulations or hierarchy, just a lot of interesting and challenging work to get done. You’ll work on our React Native mobile apps and React web apps, so we’re looking for people who have extensive experience of Typescript and React. If you know React but not React Native, we think you’ll pick it up pretty quickly. Knowledge of Redux, GraphQL, native modules, Java, C++, Salesforce is a bonus.
The most important skill to us is being able to pick up new concepts and technologies rapidly. Ideally, you're the sort of person who has been programming from an early age, thrives on new challenges, is passionate about technology, takes pride in finding elegant solutions to difficult problems, and has a record of open source project involvement. We hope to find individuals full of energy and enthusiasm, with an eye for detail &good design. We’re very open to new ideas, and our most recent joiners have already introduced new tools &techniques to the team.
Axsy is well-funded and has a great opportunity to grow &succeed. We’re giving you the chance to be part of our success and we offer share options in addition to other benefits.
