Front-End React Developer

DevriX is now looking for a Front-end React Developer who can join the core team in Bulgaria.

About the Company

DevriX is a leading WordPress design and development company, actively contributing to the WordPress community – the Core platform, and other Open Source plugins, plus a large portfolio of free plugins. What we are looking for is a React front-end developer who is passionate about learning and adhering to the best web development practices while improving and building client projects and internal products of ours.

Job Description

The React Front-End developer in DevriX will work mostly work on new applications for our clients and internal tools that help the team in the day-to-day workflow as well as DevriX products as well as maintaining existing code base. In addition to this, there is also pure JS work involving speed improvements, code refactoring and tooling for our existing clients.

We strongly believe in code quality, speed of delivery, independence and the mentality of always getting better.

Our Front-End developers are not required to know PHP, maybe just call a couple of functions every now and then for styling and markup output purposes. We have a solid team with deep knowledge in HTML/CSS that will take care of the majority of the styling and architecture.

As with any developer position at DevriX, the ability to write clean and maintainable code is a must.

Aside from the mentioned above, the work also includes:

  • Fixes for broken components on our client’s websites.
  • Crafting new components and sections based on provided designs.
  • Turning static components into dynamic ones, working with the Back-End team to provide the needed data.
  • Improving the general look and feel of not well-crafted components. Design help can be requested, though we value developers that have a good sense of aesthetics.
  • Refactoring of the old codebase.
  • Working on dashboards for internal tools and various third-party libraries.
  • JS functionality for forms, popups and other components of that sort as well as occasional styling.

Responsibilities

Some of the responsibilities listed are rather big (looking at UX here), so we believe that not everyone is perfect, but everyone can learn. That does not go to say that there are no minimum amount of skills required to apply.

  • Write clean and reusable code. Thinking about class naming as well.
  • Follow the standard procedures we’ve defined in our workflow
  • Website speed optimization on the front-end.
  • Ensuring your work is flawless before submitting to our QA team (they always find something… so there’s that.).
  • Constantly learning new technologies, approaches, tools, and skills
  • Provide feedback to developers when the front-end code needs refactoring

Skills And Qualifications

We have minimum requirements that we want all our candidates to meet before applying for this position. On our end, we will spend many on hours explaining our workflow, best practices and such for newcomers, but the core fundamentals must be in place first.

  • Understanding of HTML5 semantics and experience in applying it in practice.
  • Ability to write clean HTML, logical class names, think about the reusability of a component, how easy is to extend the styles and scale the project it in the future.
  • Experience with any famous CSS naming convention and understanding of the reason why it exists (what problem it solves, why, how, etc.)
  • Good at CSS – we expect you to know most of the commonly used properties and their values as well as how they interact with each other to ensure smooth and fast daily work
  • SCSS usage – variables, mixins, nesting, extending, including files and the likes.
  • Experience with Gulp is a bonus. We have our build tools, but writing new tasks are happening now and then.
  • Working level of Git – committing often, work in separate branches, opening PRs, merging branches, dealing with conflicts and the likes.
  • Communication – Understanding tasks and writing comments about your patches, pinging teammates for updates, asking questions often. *
  • Very good understanding of JavaScript for very obvious reasons.
  • ReactJS or React Native experience is a must

And finally a small list of good to have skills, but not required as you will have the ability to acquire them while working with us:

  • Knowledge of how the browser works
  • Managing your workload – prioritization of tasks, following deadlines without the need for supervision, updating tickets/tasks.
  • Using WordPress as a CMS as well as other web platforms’ dashboard for specific clients

* Communication is paramount for us. We use Asana and Slack for PM and chat respectively. Your job will include lot’s of questions, so you should not be afraid to ask, but also be prepared with good information about your problem upfronts like trying to figure it out first, googling, showcasing your attempts at solving a problem and the likes.
