Atividades e Responsabilidades

As a Software Engineer in Frontend, you will primarily write code for the ReactJS frontend of our Rails application that power many of our products. You'll build new products we're launching as well as upgrades and maintenance on our current suite of products. You'll work in a small team of Rails and ReactJS engineers who will work together with you to build what's needed. You'll also work across teams with our data team when you are integrating a new data source into the platform. Even though we're a fast-moving startup, we still have the resources like a dedicated dev-ops team, designers, and product managers to help you focus purely on coding. That said, our engineers still have a strong influence on product direction.

More generally, as an engineer at GovPredict, you will participate in many parts of the engineering organization as it grows and as you grow as a member of our team. We ask our engineers to not only write code but to help us improve the organization. You will provide feedback on engineering operations, weigh in on architecture decisions, interview new candidates, and help make GP a place you love to work at.

We are hiring all levels of developers -- from junior to manager -- so don't be shy if you think you're under or over qualified for the role. We'll tailor the interview difficulty and evaluation process to the level you self-report.

Requisitos

* Strong technical background -- degree in Computer Science or related field preferred

* Interest in complex software engineering problems -- we use Rails & React, but you don’t have to know them
* Able to communicate effectively in written and spoken English
* Eager to learn new things and apply them quickly
* Can work full-time from our office in Belo Horizonte
