Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia Workyard Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Workyard
is a fast-growing venture backed startup that is developing an innovative workforce management platform for the construction market. In an industry where $300 billion is spent annually on labor, we are fundamentally changing the experience for companies and workers by adding trust, transparency, and technology to workforce management and enable smarter business decisions.

This high-impact role is perfectly suited for an experienced
Senior Front End Engineer
who is excited by the prospect of working directly with the founders at an early-stage company to drive product adoption and revenue expansion.

To excel in this role you must have a passion for creating high quality software that delights customers and is a joy to work on. You will enjoy the support of a highly experienced management team and get the opportunity to learn from other high calibre software engineers.

This is a hybrid role: 2 days in our offices in Sydney (Surry Hills), and 3 days remote.

Responsibilities:

  • Work within our product team to build new exciting features.
  • Plan changes in a methodical fashion and create appropriate levels of technical documentation before commencing development.
  • Implement pixel perfect designs to create attractive user experiences.
  • Improve the code base through continuous refactoring.
  • Implement unit tests and ensure rigorous E2E testing of new app releases is performed.
  • Keep up to date with the state-of-the-art of web development.
  • In order to facilitate fluid communication between team members, ensure Slack notifications are enabled and respond to all relevant Slack messages in a timely manner.

Key Success Factors:

  • Ensuring that all functional and non-functional requirements of a change request have been implemented before declaring a piece of work as complete.
  • Writing clean, simple code that is easy for other developers to understand and maintain.
  • Following existing design patterns and suggesting improvements where appropriate.
  • Adding appropriate levels of automated test coverage where applicable.
  • Shipping code with minimal defects so as to avoid re-work.
  • Assessing the risk of each change and taking extra care when making critical changes that may alter the behaviour of the software in unintended ways.
  • Reviewing pull requests submitted by other engineers in a timely manner.
  • Managing your time effectively and, in the case of competing priorities, seeking clarity from the appropriate individual(s).
  • Taking ownership of work, responsibility for decisions and accountability for mistakes.

About You:

  • B.S./M.S. in Computer Science (or equivalent) and/or 7-10+ years industry experience.
  • Developing software engineer: you've contributed code and worked in teams that have shipped consumer-focused applications and are learning what it takes to build robust software.
  • Excellent communication ability: you are capable of collaborating with product designers to reach the best customer outcome.
  • Full stack: you have 7-10+ years experience developing front end applications with React (TypeScript/JavaScript). Unit testing experience with React is essential. Experience with Cypress and PHPUnit would be highly desirable.
  • Focused: you are developing your ability to differentiate the essentials from the nice-to-haves in a way that gets you as fast as possible to the end result.
  • You can self manage your time and projects.
  • Passion for software development and a desire to continuously improve your craft.
