OUR TECH:

Our agile development team works on two client-facing Angular projects that form part of the JOBJACK Web App, which includes a microservices (federated services) back-end with a preference for GraphQL.

We use:

● Language - TS/JS for both front-end (Angular 13+) and back-end (Node.js, Nest.js).

● Databases - PostgreSQL as well as NoSQL such as MongoDB in combination with Google Firebase.

● DevOps - DigitalOcean, AWS, Docker, PM2, and CI/CD to serve our Web App.

● Version Control - GitLab for our repositories.

WHAT WILL SET YOU APART:

JOBJACK is growing and looking for a self-starter to come along for the ride. If you are a talented software engineer with experience in NODE, TYPESCRIPT, and ANGULAR, we would like to urge you to join our agile development team working on our web app platform. We're searching for developers who are capable to jump right in and can't resist a challenge.

Someone with:

● Experience - This is dependent on whether you are applying to join our team as a junior, intermediate, or senior. Our technical assessment is the core tool we use to determine the value of your experience.

● Language Proficiency - The specific frameworks that you have worked with are less of a concern than your exposure to, and comfort with TS/JS for frontend (Angular 13+) as well as the backend (Node.js, Nest.js.)

● An Eagerness to learn - You will need the courage to constantly try out new methods, new solutions, and new ways of using the languages as we are constantly improving our code. You have a responsibility to voice your suggestions for improvement to your team to contribute to the quality of our product.

● Databases Exposure - Exposure and experience with NoSQL and relational databases is a MUST. We use PostgreSQL and MongoDB in combination with Google Firebase.

● Lastly - We are looking for someone with DevOps Confidence and proficient Version Control Abilities.
