React Javascript Developer

This is a UK based role and we are only able to consider people who currently reside or have work authorisation in the UK.

THE ROLE:

We are looking for a Frontend developer with proven experience delivering a sizeable React application to production. You will help modernise and evolve legacy code and also build new user facing web features. Good knowledge of JS and React is essential. We have millions of users across our mobile offerings, so experience in improving and maintaining performance is also a bonus.

We use Relay to manage the data from our GraphQL API, so experience with that (or something similar like Apollo) is fantastic. We also test heavily and enforce type-safety on the frontend, so let us know if you have experience with Jest and JS type systems.

We have a large user base, but a small development team. This means you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills in new areas, make a real impact and that the work is generally diverse and interesting

OUR TECH STACK

React/React Native, StyledComponents, Relay, FlowType, Python (Django), GraphQL (7+ years live, 400+ Million queries a day), Github + CI systems. We value techniques such as linting, automatic code formatting, unit tests, coverage reporting, snapshot testing, integration tests and type systems.

We have a remote-first work culture, although we still have an office in Brick Lane available for anyone to use. We're an agile, driven and entrepreneurial group of creatives and technologists committed to helping each other grow. We care deeply about providing engineers with the space to evolve and encourage self-starters. If you are interested in making an impact, driving audio culture forward, and helping creators around the world earn a living from their craft, come join us!
