In this position you will be working on front-end web application user interface implementation and communicating with designers on UI/UX specifications as well as communicating with the back-end core team on implementation via web API calls from an AngularJS/ReactJS framework. HTTP, CSS, Javascript, AngularJS are required. TypeScript and ReactJS knowledge and experience are a plus. Good UI/UX skills and experience are plus as well.

A typical day in this position is to start off with some coffee and/or your favorite drink and breakfast; catch up on email and Slack and review your tasks in Jira on the current Sprint. Join the team for a quick 15 minute stand up huddle and review what was done on the previous day; discuss any roadblocks you may be stuck on and to get help if needed; and what the goals are for the current day. Then commence work on assigned tasks in the current Sprint. Unit tests should be written as well before critical work or after on critical functionality. Code reviews should be done and kept up daily as well. Lunch and a coffee/drink break during the day is always good to refresh your mind unless you're in the zone of course!

An example task you may be asked to work on is a new UI to schedule employees onto jobs sites. First you will branch from the master code branch from GitHub and start a new task branch locally to begin work. You would work off of the specifications and design to implement the UI and reuse components already built for the front-end WorkMax UI so we stay consistent. You would write any custom business logic in Angular/React to manage the new UI and do normal checks for required fields, etc. Then you would write the code to submit off requests to the back-end through the provided API from the back-end team. Good error checking and unit test where applicable would be part of your coding process as well. You would then test your implementation on a local WorkMax environment all Devs have to make sure your new code works as specified. Once happy, the code would be submitted off to GitHub in a Pull Request so it can be reviewed and into the normal Agile process. Once approved it's merged back into a build and sent to QA for testing.

Your skill set will be enhanced on the WorkMax platform as we develop new modules and as we use newer technology that makes sense as we move forward. We will always stay up on the latest and best technology out there!
