Your main focus will be to continue the innovation of our customer facing comparison platform and internal applications that support the wider business. As we are a very small team, your work and decisions will have a direct impact on the business.
Our main front-end projects are driven by Rails/Sinatra applications (subject to change!) and we’d like to see someone who cares about that 100ms client side response window to ensure a great experience for the customer. You’ll be hands-on with all our main applications, improving the front-end, back-end and adding polish to our applications with the help of designers. We continuously strive to be the easiest comparison website to use, so we care about the UI and UX of every product we create.
These are some of the things you’ll be working on:
Migrating to ES6 and Browserify
Creating a new, event-driven validation framework
Figuring out new product features and which ones to kill
Abstracting our Rails application from whatever front-end framework we pick (you should be involved in that!)
Collaborating across the company to deliver a saner experience for designers and developers through https://ustyle.guide
You will work with a lot of libraries we’ve open sourced, and hopefully open source new ones. https://github.com/uswitch
You’ll be working with our microservices infrastructure, delivering value across the stack.
You like to automate and continuously deliver, so you’ll be deploying to production several times a day
You’re not “just a developer”. We hire great people, and we’d like you to be able to work across our domain and not limit yourself to specific skill sets.
