What are the responsibilities and job description for the Front End Developer position at Phocas Software?
Change the way the world works (and how non-techy people feel about data)
When you look at the greatest innovations of our time, they have one thing in common: a string of failures along the road to success.
But how often have you been allowed to fail in your career? Many companies fear and avoid failure. Yet as a software developer, you know your best work is the result of creating, experimenting, failing, and learning. Over and over again, to get to smarter solutions faster. This is something we embrace at Phocas.
As a software company that’s focused on simplicity, we want you to be able to learn from failure. This is how we stay at the leading edge, creating products that are changing the way the world works. And which are so easy to use, they make even the least tech-savvy customers feel confident and empowered.
We're looking for a developer with a passion for front end technologies to help us drive the success of Phocas Analytics, an application that lets 30,000 people around the world discover powerful insights into their businesses’ data.
In our product teams you’ll find something a bit special. We aim to build a psychologically-safe environment in which everyone is free to bring ideas to the table and openly discuss them. You’ll be working as part of a talented team with varied skills, who together strive to achieve their best work and create an exceptional experience for our customers. We trust and empower our teams to make important decisions, take ownership of their work, and enjoy the process of collaborating to create something great.
In this role, you’ll find yourself with a variety of work. We’re not afraid to try something different, so sometimes you might be pioneering brand new solutions. At other times you’ll be building upon functionality that already exists. Along the way, you’ll contribute to the team’s culture and processes, you’ll be encouraged to share new ideas and techniques with other developers, and you’ll be supported to learn new skills and develop your career.
If this sounds great to you, come and join the Phocas team.
What are we looking for?
- A confident, experienced developer who can make and communicate well-informed decisions
- Solid experience of delivering web applications, ideally with a good knowledge of ReactJS
- A history of doing the difficult work of making complex things simple-to-use
- Enthusiasm and passion, a willingness to learn, and a growth mindset
- A desire to solve real problems for real people, and have fun doing it
What's in it for you?
- Competitive salary and stock options plan
- Dedicated time for learning and development each fortnight
- Benefits include life cover, income protection insurance and subsidised health cover
- Work with some of the best tech talent in Christchurch
- Central location with free parking and easy motorway access
- Flexible hybrid working policy
