Tech Lead (frontend) - Smart documents
Aize AS, Norway
Job Description
What you tell your friends...
I’m all about the user experience. Everything a user sees and interacts with, that’s what I’m responsible for. It needs to be slick, efficient and intuitive which is all down to me.
What you will really be doing...
Creating remarkable software that our customers will love, using modern technologies
Prioritizing, coordinating and supporting the team’s daily work
Getting challenged with complex and interesting problems
Mentoring, motivating and guiding junior developers on your team
Working alongside Architects and DevOps Engineers on technical architecture, deployment, and infrastructure
Contributing to shaping the culture and methodology of a fast-growing software house
How will you be doing this:
- Leading and managing a team of software developers working on a viewer for smart documents with rich functionality (e.g., clickable hotspots, annotations, drawings, etc.)
- Working with the UX designers from the concept phase to the specification and finalizing
- Prioritizing work with the team and the product owner, weighing both the business and technical value of each task
- Planning and distributing tasks for the team
- Training and helping the junior team members with your experience in technology and process, so that they grow and become an even bigger asset to the team
Where you will be doing this
You will be based in Oslo, Norway as we continue to build our teams but since we follow a hybrid working model, feel free to combine work + vacation into a workation! Nestle in one of our cabins by ski centers like Gaustablikk, Hafjell ++, relax on a balcony with an ocean view or even visit family and friends around the world (and make sure to take some days off to spend quality time with them) while carrying out your work. While we encourage flexibility in your preferred work style, it is important to harmonize amp; integrate that with the needs of your team and colleagues while maintaining your base in Oslo.
What we have worked on and where we are going
We have set a product vision for the future and defined a one-product strategy for Aize. We are now moving into the execution phase and are in need of more doers who want to challenge themselves as well as us as a product company. As an organization, we’re constantly evolving which means that a lot of opportunities will appear as we move forward. Maybe you want to be an expert in a particular area or seek a different career path? At Aize you’ll have the opportunity to explore and evolve together with us.
Team
We have recently established a dedicated cross-functional and multidisciplinary team for smart document visualization and are seeking an individual to lead it. While your primary focus will be on managing your team, you will also collaborate with other teams at Aize and contribute to the development of the entire product due to the interconnected nature of our work.
Who we think you are
- Passionate about technology and driven by problem solving - we care about what we do, and so should you
- Responsible and courageous - innovation is not something that just happens. You ask questions, participate in discussions, disagree with your colleagues when needed; we will never solve a real problem without exploring our options. In essence; dare to be wrong
- Curious and always on the lookout for improvements - maybe we should implement a new library in our tech stack? Maybe the framework we have chosen for the app is not the optimal one? Suggestions to better shape our work methodology, for example: How do developers do their best work in your experience? Have some concerns around the UX? Let us know!
- Selfless and collaborative, always eager to share your knowledge with others - you will bring some of the technical know-how, but you will also work closely with people from different areas of the organization
In an ideal world, you have:
- 5+ years of experience as a software developer
- Hands-on full stack experience using TypeScript/JavaScript and modern frameworks (Angular, React or Vue)
- General 2D experience with vector data visualization, SVG files, PDF/DOC viewers, HTML canvas, etc.
- Some expertise in Geographic Information System (GIS) software, tools, and technologies, including experience with ArcGIS, QGIS, or other similar software is a plus
- Knowledge of modern cloud-based architecture
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong leadership and mentoring skills
The list is not a list of requirements, it's a wish list for the perfect employee, who most likely does not exist! It’s okay if you don’t check all the boxes <
