No of Openings: 2
Required Skills: Frontend Developer / UI Developer React.js Redux JavaScript HTML/CSS
Job Description
JavaScript - vanilla from scratch – this is super important some UI devs rely on pulling form libraries and this is not the case
html/css - make sure to include this on screenings
React/Redux - If no react must have a big presence on GitHub
Unit Testing - Karma, mocha, and jasmine they are using now, chia blended, now they are moving to cypress, if they have enzyme or jest. They are writing all their own unit testing. Need to have a mindset of catching everything in their unit testing so QA does not catch anything.
Build tools - like webpack are a bonus
If they have done animation in react components that is a plus - as they move forward they are doing this more and more
Worked in a large scale application is a plus-their performance is based on code quality, how you approach large scale application?
Ideal Candidate:
Expected experience/knowledge:
· HTML/CSS and CSS animation knowledge
