React Developer (Remote)

We are currently looking for a React Developer to join the fast-growing product team at Flocknote. It's an important role in our company and will help shape the path forward for Flocknote.

We're a small, startup dev team with a passion for the Church and making great things. We work hard, have fun, and are always improving. Because we're a small shop, you must be self-motivated, able to manage your day-to-day schedule, and a very good communicator. You'll have the opportunity to have your hands in everything, from the data model to stylesheets, from concepts to launches, from process to implementation.

If you have a passion to help the Church, and enjoy dreaming up smart ways to solve problems and then watching your code come to life to make a real difference in the world, keep reading.

YOU'LL BE:

• Shaping the way people use Flocknote and the entire structure of our front end architecture.
• Creating new features within Flocknote that are easy & fun to use.
• Managing the technical aspects of Flocknote's front end. Including increasing client-side performance and accessibility.
• Helping out the rest of the front-end team as we continue to move over to React.
• Migrating existing features over to React.
• Tackling front-end bugs post-push.
• Integrating new features into a non-react front-end codebase. So experience integrating React with legacy code and understanding of using portals will be a big help here.

YOU'LL NEED:

• At least two years experience using React and a great understanding of its inner-workings and quirks.
• To understand node, Webpack, and babel (beyond just using create-react-app).
• To love javascript, es6+, node and all things in that world.
• Experience and comfort developing functional components and hooks. We won't be using class-based components at all.
• To understand reducers, context, and state and the lifecycle of react components.
• Taste! We don't pixel-perfect mock things up, so we'll be relying on some of your great ideas to make things easy to use.
• To be a self-starter and a go-getter.
• To have strong interpersonal skills and be flexible, detail-oriented, professional, easy to get along with, enthusiastic and of high moral character.

BONUS POINTS

• React Native experience (yeah...we're heading down that path too!).
• Experience managing node.js backends.
• Experience developing cross-client email design and understanding differences in HTML layout and compatibility issues for various email clients.
• Experience with relational data models.

All positions are full-time (remote/work-from-home) positions with salary and benefits.
