Description

Front End Developer Job Type: Full-time Experience Level: Entry to Moderate

Your job will be to implement and maintain new features for a single-page web app.

Technical skill requirements:

  • Experience with javascript-heavy front end development, ideally with single-page web apps
  • Exposure to React and Redux with a good grasp of the unidirectional data flow model
  • Strong fundamental HTML/CSS knowledge
  • Experience with Git or some other distributed version control system

Bonus points for:

  • Experience with Mapbox, GeoJSON, web development with a geospatial component and/or other map-related technologies
  • A good grasp of ES6 and/or Immutable.js with an eye towards functional programming principles
  • Familiarity with Django Rest Framework
  • Familiarity with Agile Development

Technical degree not required. We believe that strong developers can come from anywhere.

We are a small team, so we are ideally looking for someone who can learn quickly, can identify, find and fill organizational gaps, has an interest in taking ownership over some part of the codebase, and strikes a balance between big picture thinking and attention to detail. Also, since we are a small team, you’ll have an opportunity to pivot and experiment and better define your own role as the company grows. If your interest is in DevOps, we’ve got DevOps projects. If your interest is in backend development, we’ve got that too.

BlastPoint makes big data software tools that serve non-experts through interactive maps. We are located in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood. We are a thriving company and can offer growth potential for people looking to cultivate their careers and serve in leadership roles. We encourage lifelong learning and offer a collaborative atmosphere that strives to deliver work-life balance. BlastPoint employee benefits include paid time off and paid maternity, parental, and sick leave.
