As a Javascript developer you will work alongside the Prosple tech team to deliver amazing user experiences for students and graduates around the world.

The Prosple ecosystem consists of various services, including a centralised content management system (Drupal 8) powering multiple NextJS frontend applications via a GraphQL API, a centralised identity management powered by Auth0 and several other microservices mostly developed in NodeJS.

Some of our products include:

Responsibilities

• Developing new user-facing features using NextJS 
• Building reusable components and front-end libraries for future use 
• Optimizing components for maximum performance across a vast array of web-capable devices and browsers
• Developing NodeJS services and APIs for our products

Qualifications

• Proficiency in JavaScript, including DOM manipulation and comprehension of the JavaScript object model 
• Thorough understanding of React.js and its core principles
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs 
• Familiarity with newer specifications of ECMAScript 
• Familiarity with modern front-end build pipelines and tools 
• Experience with common front-end development tools such as Babel, Webpack, NPM, etc. 
• Familiarity with Git as a version control system   

What success looks like

The ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of the latest in modern front-end development trends but most of all a proactive, problem solving attitude.

We are looking for someone with an obsession for no-compromising performance and quality, that can deal with complex challenges and think on their feet.
