\n[Note: we are open to remote work but only if you can spend a minimum of one day per week in our Belfast office.]\n\nTHE ROLE\nYou’ll be the person responsible for building the front-ends to Opal, a cloud platform to create and manage Structured Documents: documents represented as data, created and managed programatically.\n\nYou'll be using JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS to make the user experience sing. We don’t want your typical ugly enterprise app: it has to be elegant, delightful to use, and enticing during a demo.\n\nAs well as a magnificent web front-end, you’ll be working with Microsoft’s Office 365 JS API & Office Fabric to build document editing services right into the Word app.\n\nOur clients will generally be financial firms in the world’s leading financial centers, primarily New York City and London. You may need to travel occasionally, but not often.\n\nWe don’t care about prior experience in our industry (fintech); frankly we’d love it if you came from a design agency or other non-enterprise background. We want someone to build a wonderful user experience, and you can learn about the business domain while doing so.\n\nYOUR RESPONSIBILITIES\nYou’ll be doing some or all of the following:\n\n\n* working with our product manager to refine the UI/UX requirements\n\n* coding the front-end for the web and Office apps\n\n* writing some basic test packs. We won’t go overboard but we aren’t flying by the seat of our pants, either\n\n* in partnership with the CTO, the technical lead, and the rest of your team, defining and implementing standards for how we work: our agile methodology, coding standards, development tools, deployment practices, and more. This is a green field development and we want to use tomorrow’s best practices today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHO WE WANT \nWe are looking for a smart person with initiative and good judgment, who works well with others, and who will always look to balance the urgent needs of clients with the long-term technical architecture for our product.\n\nYou need to have:\n\n\n* excellent verbal and written communication skills\n\n* an eye for good design. You won’t be getting detailed wireframes, so your role will be at least partly that of a designer\n\n* a minimum of three years’ experience using client-side web technologies with a solid knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3, preferably gained from working at a design agency or product company\n\n* experience with ReactJS and knowledge of Node JS and webpack, as well as a unit testing framework such as Jest\n\n* prior experience working in agile \n\n* a pragmatic, get-it-done approach to things developers often don’t like e.g. writing tests, updating documentation, and talking to clients\n\n* a desire to learn new things. For example, we have a Ruby on Rails API, so there is an opportunity for someone who has good front end skills to become a full stack developer.\n\n\n\n\nA degree in Comp Sci or equivalent is great, but it’s not essential. It’s most important that you have good coding & design skills.\n\nAny of these things will help you stand out:\n\n\n* opinions – preferably grounded in knowledge and experience \n\n* experience on a team that has implemented a good continuous integration strategy (or if not, an awareness of the benefits of these strategies so you can champion them within the role)\n\n* Office 365 JS API experience would be wonderful (we know it’s a bit niche)\n\n* experience with Bootstrap or similar – we’ll be using Office Fabric, a similar library from Microsoft\n\n* working with RESTful API back-end components\n\n* development of a SaaS web product \n\n* experience working within a distributed development model i.e. with people in other locations and time zones. We’ll mostly be Belfast-based, but we may use specialists in other places such as sales engineers in London and New York. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WE OFFER\n\nSalary is dependent on your experience and skillset. As well as the basics - competitive pay and benefits – we offer work on a greenfield product, in a small startup-like team. We’ll invest so you have good tools to work with and we’ll keep your skills up-to-date with a budget for technical books, training, and the like. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to JavaScript, React, Finance, Design, Executive, Developer, Digital Nomad, CSS, Node, Ruby, API, Travel, Sales and SaaS jobs that are similar:\n\n $65,000 — $120,000/year\n

\nHello! We’re Real HQ and we’re five years old. Since 2010, we’ve grown to 37 employees, maintained profitability, and significantly expanded our customer base. We have an office in Austin, TX but pride ourselves in being a remote company—more than half of our team is spread across the United States.\n\nOur Product team consists of two senior-level Rails developers and one frontend developer/designer. We maintain a custom-built, in-house CRM—creatively named Contacts—that supports our consumer-facing service, Agent Pronto.\n\nOver the next few months, we plan to expand our product line and add new services. In order to do that more quickly and efficiently, we’re hoping to round our three-person dev team up to an even four.\n\nWho You Are *fingers crossed*\n\nYou’re a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer who thrives in a flexible, self-directed environment. You have a history of delivering quality, scalable Ruby on Rails applications. You know what it’s like to be interrupted throughout your day and are excited to work with people that value the maker’s schedule. You transcend the left-brained developer stereotype, have an eye for design, and incorporate UX understanding into the things you build. Additionally:\n\n\n* You’re self-motivated to learn and incorporate new technologies and keep up with best practices.\n\n* You’re as comfortable writing code for the browser as you are code for the server.\n\n* You’re proficient with MySQL (database and query optimization is a plus).\n\n* You believe in the value of testing and rarely ship code without automated tests in place.\n\n* You have strong communication skills and are receptive to constructive feedback.\n\n* You have the ability to thoroughly, yet simply, explain features to everyday users.\n\n* You can clearly articulate your thoughts and feelings through writing.\n\n* You’re comfortable working on your own and are able to set ego aside when collaborating on features.\n\n* You’re not afraid to ask for help.\n\n\n\n\nHow We Make\n\nWe don’t separate “product” from “engineering”. Our dev team is the Product team, and we all take responsibility for defining features, collaborating on their design and implementation, and finally, announcing them to the team.\n\nWe build our products using the following tools and languages, and we’ll expect you to be proficient in each:\n\n\n* Ruby, Ruby on Rails\n\n* HTML (Haml)\n\n* CSS (Sass)\n\n* Javascript (jQuery, CoffeeScript, Ajax)\n\n* Data stores (MySQL, Redis, Memcached)\n\n* Testing tools (RSpec, Capybara)\n\n* Continuous integration and deployment\n\n* Linux\n\n* Git\n\n* Nice-to-haves: Bootstrap, Backbone.js\n\n\n\n\nWe communicate using Slack, Basecamp, Github, and Google Hangouts. Occasionally, we pair-code with Screenhero.\n\nSome Specifics\n\nWe’re looking to hire immediately for a full-time, salaried position. You can expect to be paid a competitive market rate and work around 40 hours per week. We request that you reside in the United States, but once hired, you’ll have the flexibility to work from anywhere. You can choose when to start and end work each day (though, we request at least some overlap with a 9-5 CST schedule). You’ll also be provided with the following perks and benefits:\n\n\n* Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. We pay 100% of your premiums and 50% for your dependents.\n\n* Unlimited vacation.\n\n* Up to 12 weeks of paid maternity / paternity leave.\n\n* Laptop and phone upgrades every three years. We’ll also pay your monthly phone bill.\n\n* Ongoing education stipend to use toward conferences, seminars, etc.\n\n* Fringe benefits (books, software, etc.)\n\n\n\n\nWe understand that working remotely can get a bit lonely, so we’re happy to provide an office or coworking space near you. You’ll also be invited to attend departmental meetups and our annual company retreat, Real Life. Last year, we spent the week in Boulder, CO. This year, we’re flying everyone to South Lake Tahoe for a relaxing week of working and hanging out.\n\nThink You’re a Good Fit?\n\nTo learn more or to apply, send an email to [email protected] and include “rake” in the subject line. Also, let us know how you found this job posting. We won’t dictate the format of your application beyond that, so be thoughtful and creative. The application process will include several interviews, a remote pairing session or coding assignment, and a final, in-person interview in Austin (we’ll fly you in and host you). Thanks for looking, and good luck! \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Teaching, JavaScript, Education, CSS, HTML, Scala, Ruby, Senior, jQuery, Medical, Full Time, Design and Digital Nomad jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $125,000/year\n
