THE PROJECT

 

My client is the world’s best-rated online proofing solution, with a software that is used by have over half a million users across hundreds of companies, including AB InBev, LG, Havas, GroupM, and Emirates. Founded in 2015, it is a growing and established startup in a booming market, that frees people from chaotic approval processes, making work more joyful and productive. Their review and approval platform helps teams share, discuss, and approve all their files, all in one place – including documents, designs, images, videos, and audio files.

 

They are formed by a fully remote team with people working in home offices, co-working spaces, and coffee shops all over the world.

 

 

 

THE TEAM

 

Their development team grew from 9 members to 19 in the last year and they are looking to expand further in the coming months.

 

They use Agile methodologies: their team is divided into cross functional squads who are fully responsible for a part of our product. Inside the squad they have short meetings to define goals, share updates and blockers during the week.

 

Developers are involved in the whole software development life cycle. You will write code but also E2E tests, migration scripts or monitor production.

 

Their techstack is based on Javascript, using React.js in the frontend and Node.js with MongoDB in the backend, everything hosted in AWS.

 

 

THE ROLE

 

Depending on your interests and skills, you may do more feature work or more purely technical work, but the boundaries are fluid, and people can switch between teams. Every two weeks, you’ll have a private conversation with your manager where you can discuss these topics and more.

 

Build new product features. In the last year the team has added many exciting features including revamping our project dashboard or allowing users to compare two versions. In the coming year we are looking forward to building many more exciting features like allowing users to automate their manual processes.

 

Integrate with 3rd party services. They have started integrating the platform with multiple 3rd party services like Asana, Microsoft Teams, etc and built a foundation to create many more integrations.

 

Track down bugs and fix them fast. There are a lot of moving parts in the SAAS app: frontend, backend, networking and integration with 3rd party services.

 

Improve the development process. They improve their development process by adding new E2E tests to prevent bugs and reduce manual testing, refactoring concepts to reduce complexity, improving the CI/CD pipeline or coming up with new ideas.
