**Hi there,**\nWe are hiring Javascript Developers to help evolve our product from an MVP in pilot to a fully-fledged and scalable product. We’re accepting applications for the next few weeks with an ideal start date in early September.\n\n\n**About Scoutbase**\nScoutbase is a tool that helps shipping companies become safer, more productive and generally better workplaces.\nIn a nutshell, we do this by helping companies understand what makes daily work and life on a ship difficult for their crews.\n\nThe reason why this is valuable to maritime companies is that they suffer from a real lack of up to date, honest and actionable data on what’s difficult for their employees — which could even pose a risk to safety at sea!\nThe way we help those companies understand those challenges is by collecting real-time data directly from their seafarers.\n\nRight now we are focused on the maritime industry and on making life at sea safer for the 1.6 million seafarers out there. But we are exploring opportunities for using our technology to tackle the same lack of data in other industries.\n\n\n**About the Job**\nBuilding technology solutions for the maritime industry is challenging, but we already have a good MVP running and in the hands of pilot users. Now we are looking for a talented developer to bring Scoutbase to the next level.\n\nThis means we are looking for someone to take on this challenge and help us evolve our tech — and our company — over time.\n\nYou will pitch in on our product roadmap and come with ideas for new features. You will make sure our product runs smooth and bug-free. You will work on a product that puts a premium on reliability and user experience.\nThis is a job where you will see the impact of your work. A few months from now the business should look better with you on board. A definite before and after.\n\nThis is a big responsibility and we are here to support you, cheer you on, and make it happen.\nYou can expect to grow in your strengths, versatility, and competence in this job. You can expect an inclusive, eager team who’ll support you in it, rise to challenges with you, and grow together.\n\n\n\n# Responsibilities\n **If you are Front-end:**\nYou will be developing a single-page application based on server-side rendered React, Redux, styled-components and Apollo client that consumes GraphQL API.\n\nTech & Tools:\nJavascript (ES7) (a bit of Typescript)\nReact / Redux\nGraphQL & Apollo\nstyled-components\nWebpack\n\n\n**If you are Back-end:**\nYou will be developing server code in Node.js, developing our database in PostgreSQL and expanding our GraphQL implementation that supports a single-page application.\n\nTech & Tools:\nDocker\nJavascript (ES7) (a bit of Typescript)\nNode.js\nWebpack\nGraphQL & Apollo\nKnex.js & PostgreSQL\nRedis\nHeroku\nCloudFlare\n\n\n**If you are Full-stack:**\nYou will be developing a single-page application based on server-side rendered React, Redux, styled-components and Apollo client that consumes GraphQL API.\nYou will be developing server code in Node.js, developing our database in PostgreSQL and expanding our GraphQL implementation that supports a single-page application based on server-side rendered React.\n\nTech & Tools:\nDocker\nJavascript (ES7) (a bit of Typescript)\nReact / Redux\nNode.js\nWebpackReact / Redux\nKnex.js & PostgreSQL\nRedis\nGraphQL & Apollo\nHeroku\nCloudFlare\n\n \n\n# Requirements\n**About You**\nYou are creative. You are organized. You are experienced. You have done this before. You want to do it again. And you absolutely want to do it for us.\n\nYou are happy to work for a small startup, where things can change quickly and where priorities, roadmaps and plans might have to be adjusted to reflect new circumstances and opportunities.\n\nYou are excited about being in charge of your workstream and taking initiative.\n\nYou might have a Computer Science degree. You might not. That’s not the most important thing for us! We care about what you can do and how you do it, not about how you got here. A strong track record of conscientious, thoughtful work speaks volumes.\n\nThis is a remote job — if you want it to be. You’re free to work where you work best, anywhere in the world: home office, coworking space, coffee shops or of course in our HQ in Copenhagen, Denmark!\n\nIn order to make sure we all work well together in this setting it is important that you are good at managing your own time and projects reliably, meeting set deadlines and communicating with the rest of the team.\nWe do require that your normal workday has at least 4 hours overlap with the workday here in Copenhagen (UTC+1) without impinging on your personal/family life.\n\nThis means we accept remote applications from UTC-3, UTC-2, UTC-1, UTC +0, UTC+1, UTC+2, UTC+3, UTC+4, UTC+5\nEnglish is our company language — which means you need to be good at expressing yourself, both in written form and verbally.\n\n\n**Perks**\nFor us having a life outside of work is important! We are really not about nudging people to do overtime or trapping them in endless meetings. Just the opposite.\n\nWe are proud of working with flexible working hours, ample vacation time, and a four-day working week (usually Fridays are off)!\n\nQuality time to focus on work starts with quality time to think, exercise, cook, be with family and friends — time to yourself.\n\nWe are a small team and work in a very informal, collaborative and relaxed way — and keeping it that way is important to us.\n\n\n**Pay**\nWe pay between 360.000 DKK (54.000 USD) and 660.000 DKK (100.000 USD) a year, matching to your experience. \n\nPlease mention the words **ROOF SMILE NEWS** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4yNDM=).
