Javascript hacker

You’ll become responsible for the client-side experience of Unifyo.

You’ll need to keep things working across browsers, both as an extension and also embeddable directly. You’ll be working closely with the backend team to get the data you need and Lewis, our designer, who’ll be making sure things look good.

You’ll need:

A couple of years Javascript experience.

Some experience with jQuery and backbone or some other javascript libraries.

Experience with communicating with APIs and back-end services.

Nice to haves:

Experience in back-end web development, particularly Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

Ideally some experience of developing browser extensions, particularly in Firefox or (shudder) Internet Explorer.

Experience working in a start-up environment.

Experience with writing automated tests and keeping code quality high.

It would be great if you have experience in any of the following

areas: automated testing, databases, APIs, machine learning, searching large data sets, scaling web applications (none of these are

expected!)

You’ll need to work closely with the rest of the team, and prioritise your tasks. You’ll sometimes need to help write, review or support code outside your core area; on other days, you’ll need to crack on with implementing things on your own.

If you have github, stackexchange, hacker news or other social accounts, we encourage you to send us links.

About Unifyo

Unifyo is building clever technology that helps people focus on being productive. Our flagship product Unifyo is helping successful businesses to stay on top of their ever growing number of customer and contact relationships. Instead of them having all data scattered across multiple applications and having to trawl through all these apps, Unifyo provides a revolutionary way of bringing complete customer profiles into any application, without any extra integration work. Less time spent on searching, more time spent on business.

Our technology

Unifyo’s flagship product is written mostly in Javascript, running on a Ruby on Rails backend. Because our data is largely relational, we use a MySQL database. We also talk to a large variety of APIs, including Google, Twitter, Salesforce and Highrise, and use ETL and data mining techniques to gain insights and unify data. We aren’t afraid of legacy technologies either, including IMAP and Microsoft Exchange. We run our software in the cloud and use a variety of continuous testing and deployment tools.
