Hello, were ScreenCloud! Founded in 2015 and with 10,000+ customers around the globe, ScreenCloud is a cloud-based SaaS company, employing over 100 people in our Bangkok, Belfast, LA, Charlotte and London hubs. At ScreenCloud, were hard at work helping businesses to make stronger connections at scale, and with those who are most important to them; their employees & their customers. By using the screens on their walls & the content in their systems, we enable the sales, productivity & engagement that keep our customers businesses thriving. Were very proud of our product and were also incredibly proud of our people. Its our ScreenClouders and the culture they nurture that will take us where other companies just cant go. So if youre someone looking to join a team of talented individuals, apply below! The Role Studio is the app that powers all of ScreenCloud. Users sign up, then use Studio as a CMS to design content for screens, access our app store, manage their physical devices, and everything else. Its powered by React, GraphQL and Postgres. But now its time to write the next generation of Studio, starting from a clean slate and the latest in modern web development; hybrid apps with NextJS, blazing performance with edge networks, and an API gateway designed for anyone to build on. Youll be part of a team wholly responsible for each project it takes on, meaning Product/Design/Dev/QA all in the one team, with full power to shape its project. Youll also help drive and ensure we strive for technical excellence when it comes to building and maintaining our modern web apps. And of course being a product for TV screens, the end result is also a super visual experience that will keep a curious dev engaged for a long while to come! Responsibilities
- Write primarily in TypeScript on Node and deploy to Azure or AWS to deliver the APIs and infrastructure that powers our whole system end to end. Our frontends deploy to Vercel for the best modern dev experiences
- Design solutions that reduce complexity and orchestration across independent microservices (including making use of modern cloud native components that can do some of the heavy lifting for you, like hosted event buses and API Gateways)
- Explore our AI prototypes and experiment with how the workflows AI enables can make work lives better for our users every day
- Become a core member of the Studio group, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company to build on and extend our core CMS
- Push us to experiment and try new techniques to constantly improve the quality of our platform (We're particularly interested in approaches to make useful monitoring effortless and maximise reliability)
- Collaborate with designers, testers and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect
- Get stuck in with us on prototypes and MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital signage content and management next. Then help get the best of these into the hands of real customers of course
Requirements
- You have demonstrated experience building REST or GraphQL services with JavaScript/TypeScript. You may also have worked in similar languages, and able to discuss the benefits/tradeoffs of how you design a system
- You have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past, and can confidently discuss the trade-offs and opportunities in designing real-life systems on these products.
- You have experience designing solutions to integrate multiple isolated services together in a scalable and understandable way
- You can help lead whiteboard sessions to design new solutions, and discuss the flows of data across those systems
- You document your work, ensuring knowledge is readily available for both other members of the team, including the frontend developers hitting your services, but equally for new developers who may come across it many months down the line
- You relish the hard work of demonstrating quality through accurate monitoring and alerting, as well as effective logging for when things do go wrong
- You understand that the user's experience, both in setting up an app and then seeing it on screen is the north star metric for any work we do. The more complexity we can abstract away from them, the better our systems are!
- You work best in small teams and deliver the highest quality code when youre surrounded by great people. You go out of your way to share your knowledge and make difficult concepts understandable for the whole team
Bonus Skills
- NoSQL experience with services like DynamoDB, MongoDB and Redis
- GraphQL services, such as Apollo
- Database design and query optimisation on SQL services (We use Postgres)
- Working on modern webapps, built with tools like React or Angular
- End to end testing with tools like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
- APIs built in Node (Serverless, Express, Lambda etc)
- Improving build and deploy tooling for reliability and performance
