Software Engineer - Web Frontend at Luno

In your first six months, you will:

...start at Luno by learning our processes, meeting the wider team and starting our engineering on-boarding program. After getting comfortable with the basics, you'll start learning our idiomatic patterns in a safe, easy-to-follow way - by building your own toy micro services. You'll get to practice how we do design docs, code reviews, deployments, events, logging and monitoring.

You’ll meet the Pod(s) you’ll be working with and quickly align on the teams’ current OKRs and product roadmap. We succeed as a team, so we will provide you with regular feedback from your manager and peers and will encourage you to do the same.

Your mission will involve:

• Design, build and maintain advanced web applications using Angular and Typescript
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features
• Write testable, maintainable code for robustness and reliability
• Work on bug fixing and improving application performance
• Write code that directly affects users, the company and the Bitcoin ecosystem

The ideal Lunaut will have:

• Extensive experience building high quality web applications
• Be proficient in JavaScript (Typescript would be an added advantage)
• A keen interest in mobile UX/UI design and Material Design
• Experience with continuous integration and delivery technologies is an added advantage
• BSc/MSc/PhD in computer science or other technical discipline, or equivalent working experience
• A passion for software development, mobile technology and Bitcoin
• To be friendly, transparent, articulate and driven to succeed
• A work permit for South Africa if you are not a South African citizen

Don’t be put off if you don’t tick all of the boxes – they’re a guide based on what we’d love to see but we appreciate that excellent software engineers have diverse backgrounds.
