Front End Developer (React) at Mama Money

THE ROLE 

As a Front End Developer, you will be responsible for the client side of our service and your primary focus will be to implement new features for the React-based portal. Our mobile app is built in Ionic and there are two internal-facing portals built in Laravel and React respectively.

Your main duties will include creating modules and components and coupling them together into a functional app. The artistic design will be delivered to you, together with a few HTML templates, but we will ask for your help in regard to animations, CSS, and final HTML output.

You will be expected to collaborate with multiple development teams, front-end as well as back-end, and DevOps in the development, deployment, testing and maintenance of our systems. From a process perspective, Mama Money has been growing rapidly, which means that a big challenge for us is scaling our development platforms and practices to support concurrent development of features with multiple teams collaborating. To this end, we are adopting Agile principles using the Scrum framework.

We'll require you to have a strong working understanding of the mechanics of Agile and Scrum, as well as what they are meant to achieve. You'll be participating in all facets of the process, including requirements analysis, creation of stories (we use Jira as our tool of choice), task breakdown and story point estimates.
