Senior Full Stack Mobile/Web Application Developer

Job title: Senior Full Stack Mobile/Web Application Developer

Department: Development

The Role:

As our agency grows, we are taking more and more web and mobile application projects for our clients. Our application projects’ frontends are typically built on React and/or React Native. The backend REST and GraphQL APIs to drive them and integrate with other systems are often powered by Laravel. You don’t need to be an expert in all of these, but we’re looking for developers who have a working knowledge across these stacks, can learn on their feet, and start contributing quickly to deliver for our clients.

As a client services agency, we’re always expanding into new technologies and platforms to meet our clients needs, so we are looking for developers who love keeping up-to-date on the newest advancements in the field and can figure out when to start applying those advancements to client work.

You’ll be working on several projects at any time; typically one large application and a few smaller projects to keep things fresh.

Key Responsibilities:

• Building new applications, websites, and features with a variety of tools, languages, and technologies, including React and/or React Native, Laravel, Next JS, etc.
• Contributing to high-level architecture planning, consulting with our internal team on approach and level of effort, guiding more junior developers.
• Flexing your muscles on aspects of application development outside of app code: database modeling, query optimization, setting up efficient logging and monitoring solutions, and other advanced requirements for highly functioning apps (you do not need to be a DBA or Sys Admin).
• Staying up-to-date on the latest development technologies and methodologies.
• Communicating directly with clients and our project managers to understand their requirements and present your work.

Skills & Qualifications:

• You should have a minimum of 5 years of professional experience, preferably in a technical role and with agency experience.
• Full Stack experience with a variety of frontend and backend tools and technologies and their surrounding ecosystems is a requirement for this role.
• Experience interacting with and building backend REST and GraphQL APIs
• Knowledge and experience with integrating with third party APIs
• Experience building out application user experiences and understanding user behavior and intent, and using this information to build intuitive apps and websites for our clients.
• Knowledge of Git and Github, we use these on all projects.
• Experience with AWS services or other devops platforms is a plus.

The salary range for this position is $95,000 – $140,000 per year, depending on experience

What we offer:

• Healthy work/life balance
• A creative environment to do the best work of your career
• An amazing team of developers, designers, marketers, and project managers.
• Paid Parental Leave
• Paid vacation and sick time off
• Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
