Role overview:

We're looking for an experienced full-stack React developer who can help us build a new software product and its companion mobile app (.NET backend). The project is ongoing with deadlines in 2025. It is an essentially technical role (hands on keyboards), but we need you to be able to take ownership of as much of the frontend as possible. You will become part of an established (small) team including designers, developers and QA.

Company overview:

We solve problems for other businesses, with technology and by sharing the way we work. Because we're spending the majority of our week at work, we find it super important to make sure that we feel good at work, and ideally enjoy what we're doing. To achieve this, here are some of the things we've put in place:

• We don't care when or where you work as long as you get your work done, and you attend meetings
• Planning of workload always happens collaboratively (Agile)
• Everyone can change the way we work (Tensions)
• We have a clear, flat, organisational chart (Holacracy)
• We regularly look together at how to help you grow within the organisation (GROW model)
• We regularly schedule time in to relax and have fun together online and in person - we play games (board-, video-, and roleplaying games) together or engage in serious "bullsh*t conversations".
• We accept everyone how they are, as a human

It's hard to describe the benefits of working at IQM without sounding cliché, but we have integrated in the recruitment process, so you will be able to experience it yourself before you make a decision to join us or not.

Location:

Salary range:

£38,000- £50,000 per year. Our offer will be based on how well you perform in the technical test and interview, not based on years of experience.

• You will be responsible for creating units of work (Tasks) to fulfil users stories.
• Writing Unit/UI tests

Atomic design component testing

• Facilitate automation of testing and user testing of components through tools like Storybook

Maintaining system after deployment (Diagnostics & Testing)

• Diagnosing faults in the React part of the code.
• Writing tests to confirm the fault.
• Implementing fixes.

Working alongside the team to develop new systems.

Helping to maintain technical documentation relating to specific project architecture, design and configuration, whilst establishing deployment and protocol guides.

Maintain code quality, organisation and automation.

• Understanding of CI/CD processes (Teamcity) and how to review test results

Participate in daily/weekly sprint meetings with the team.

• Management of Tasks/User Stories - making sure they are updated and relevant.

Key Technical requirements

• Full stack React (preferably React Native) experience - in industry, not only self-taught/academic

• Good understanding of Object Relation Mapping, SOLID principles and Design Patterns.
• Understanding of relational databases (SQL Server in particular) and ORMs (NHibernate).
• Experience working within a product team (including designer, product owner, architect/lead developer, backend developer)

Nice to have

• Agile project management processes (e.g. Scrum, Kanban).

Key personal Requirements

Very clear online communication

• Because we're a fully remote business, you need to be able to ask for help, explain an problem, explain your understanding of an issue etc. We don't write long documents about anything, but we do use instant messaging and voice chat (Slack, Discord). We work in English, so we require full professional English proficiency.

Tolerance

• We promise to accept you how you are, if you accept how we are. We think it's important to be able to joke about anything, but only as long as everyone feels safe, respected and accepted.

Independence

• A lot of what we do requires problem solving and learning new skills. Because of this, it's very important that everyone on our team can independently solve problems in a non-destructive way (within the scope of their role). We want to see curiosity and problem solving skills early on. Of course, we also want you to ask for help when you need it, and those conversations should help you increase your own problem solving toolkit for the future.

Diligence

• Everybody is responsible to keep their part of our work management tool up to date. We've done our best to make it as simple and useful as possible, and it's something everyone has to do so we can run the business (ClickUp)

The recruitment process

In order to be fair on all applicants, we process everyone at the same time. That means sometimes you might wait a little longer for a response, but that's just because we're waiting for another candidate to be able to compare.

Once you submit your application:

Pre-filter phase (apply by the 18th of April)

• We filter CV's and questions on minimum requirements.

Technical test (18th to 25th of April)

• We do an evaluation of the relevant technical skills we require for the main role you're applying for (you will be able to do this in your own time.)

Interview phase (1st and 2nd of May)

• We have an interview with at least 2 team members to dig a bit deeper.
• You have a relaxed gaming session with a few of the team members, and get to ask your questions to them.

Selection phase (After 5th of Mayh)

• You get an offer from us and we sign the contract.

Probation phase (ideal start date, 15th of May)

• After 6 months, your permanent employment will be confirmed.

Our selection criteria:

• We find "human" skills more important than technical skills. Most technical skills can be learned, but it's much harder to teach someone how to learn.
• Because we're a fully remote business, clear communication is even more important, so we will pay close attention to this.
• We're aware that a hiring process can be stressful, and we do our best to mitigate that and take it into account in our decision.
• Ultimately, the most important thing is that we get the feeling that we will be able to trust you to work independently. The application of your technical skills will only be visible once you get to apply them in the business.
