Your Role:
The initial project you will be working on is a complete face lift of our current application. We have high fidelity mockups that need to be converted into working software. This position would be responsible for helping the existing team with ReactJS, possibly Redux, following guidelines for best practices, and working with our lead engineer on all things ‘front-end’. This is a full-time position and would love someone to be vested in the on going development of this and future projects.
About the current application:
Allegory is built primarily in Ruby-on Rails. It is a robust, document-heavy application using a PostgreSQL database. OCR is built into our document pipeline. For search, we use Elastic Search. Our main application is cloud-based, hosted on Amazon AWS, but in some cases, we have deployed and will deploy on-prem. We practice test-driven development, using RSpec and a continuous integration server. We also use agile development methods, using Git, Aha and Jira for our code and project management.
What you’ll be working on:
Building the UI with React, Bootstrap, Sass, styled components and adding to our component library
Work closely with product team to dissect features
Interfacing with a RoR RESTful API
Work with DevOps on deploying UI deliverables
Mentor current development team on React and front-end best practices
Manage your own time and be responsible with minimal oversight.
We are always adapting our process to improve and you will have a say and be heard.

You have done advanced work with React
You know how best to test front end components
CSS and HTML are second nature to you.
You can use Git with Github (branching, merging, pull requests)

Current front-end stack:
ReactJS, styled-components, Jest, Enzyme

Bonus:
- Ruby on Rails knowledge
Still Interested:
As we said before we are looking for you to help us move from the current stack to using React and styled-components with ES6. We prefer to use tools that are needed and not just because they are new and shining. Of particular interest: https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be46360cf367
