FRONT END DEVELOPER (REACT/REDUX) LONDON
Homelyfe are looking for an experienced front-end developer, to help us design and deliver the next generation of mobile consumer insurance apps. We’re a funded early stage start-up, with an experienced team, in a beautiful office near Clerkenwell. Buying insurance is time consuming, confusing, and complex. We’re going to fix that, and we want your help. We are looking for a front-end developer who is motivated to combine the art of design and simplicity with the art of programming. We’re looking to build an internal application to complement our consumer-facing product. Responsibilities will include setting-up and developing this back-office application based on our current architecture, and using our product’s tech stack; React and Redux. The internal application will serve as a portal for management and reporting products useful to the business. You will work with the UI/UX designer and product manager to bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works. We’re heavily investing in new front-end technologies, with a great combination of React, Node, ES6, and Redux. While our front-end architecture combines both mobile and web together, this application will only be developed for web. However, there will be a lot of collaboration between internal and product teams and this role offers the opportunity to learn React Native. Ideally the successful developer will have experience in developing large-scale singlepage web applications in a framework such as React, Angular or similar.
