Position: Senior Frontend (React) Developer
Company: HES Fintech
Experience required: 2y
English level: intermediate

We are looking to hire someone who can be the lead engineer on our client side.
We are a 3-year old startup, but the product is pretty new. Before the pivot we were working on a completely different product in the travel space, until COVID came along.
We are a small team (<10) and are fully remote. Most of our team is working out of Israel, but we are hiring from anywhere, as long as some common core working hours are tenable.
Duration: 3+ months, but potentially open ended.
The Role: We are building the world’s next-generation travel planning website, built on high-quality videos by expert content creators. It’s not officially launched yet, so we can’t put a link here. But we’ll give you access to our pre-launch site and share our broader vision as part of the hiring process.
Your work stack will be React with TypeScript on NextJS.
This is a cloud-native product, running mostly in AWS and using various cloud services. The server side, if you care to ask, is NodeJS with Postgres. If you’re interested in also working on the server side, let us know. We can evolve this position into a full-stack position.
Our core hours are 9:30-19:00 Tel Aviv time (UTC+2/3). You need to be online 5 of those hours, so these online communications can happen.
Our team meets face-to-face regularly. We aim to meet you and have actual, non-virtual drinks together at least once a year – hopefully more, depending on your location and COVID.
Our process includes a personal interview, a professional interview, and some tests: a technical home exercise, and a short English test. Throughout the process you will have many opportunities to learn and ask more questions about us.

Responsibilities:
 • Customer focus: deliver something valuable and beautiful,
 • Professionalism: focus on the task at hand, understand the context of what you’re doing, and own your work,
 • Communication: be transparent about what you’re doing; ask questions and make suggestions; be kind and courteous,
 • Be a great coder: work fast, write quality code, maintain code cleanliness, keep low technical debt,
 • Teamwork: contribute to the success of the whole team
You will be responsible for your own productivity, but we’ll do our best to help you be as productive as possible.
Much of the communication is done asynchronously: We use a task backlog on Airtable, designs on Figma, and text communications by email and Discord. This lets you move forward with your tasks without depending on someone else being online. We also do online meetings. We do 2 daily standup meetings on Google Meet – and we expect you to attend at least one of them. We also do a weekly company all-hands, so everybody is aligned on our strategy and milestones. During core working hours we also keep Discord rooms running in mute, so in case you have a quick question to a teammate, and they are online, you can just unmute yourself and ask them over a virtual cup of coffee.
 
Our ideal candidate must have:
 • We need you to be skilled in the React stack, and experienced in it for at least 4 years.
 • You should be able to take a Figma design, together with a short task description, and turn it into a working, pixel-perfect UI that looks and feels great.
 • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
 • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar
