About The Opportunity

We're looking for a skilled Web Developer with a strong passion for creating intuitive and high-performing user interfaces.

You'll play a key role in developing client-side interfaces, integrating with backend APIs, and working with specialized components. The ideal candidate is proficient in .NET web technologies and is eager to tackle the challenges of visualizing complex scheduling data. The role’s responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design, develop, test, and deploy responsive and engaging user interfaces using Blazor, DevExpress UI components, and modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript).
• Implement and maintain complex UI components, including grids, forms, and other interactive elements, ensuring high performance and usability.

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices and coding standards.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and share knowledge with the team.
• Troubleshoot and resolve front-end defects and performance issues related to Blazor, DevExpress components, and other UI elements.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Blazor, .NET, DevExpress tools, front-end technologies, and UI/UX trends.

The ideal candidate is an ambitious, seasoned software engineer who relishes the opportunity to work closely with the entire product team to innovate and maintain PlanetTogether’s software applications.

Candidates must possess a strong desire to collaborate and innovate and be comfortable presenting ideas, proof of concepts, and designs to the team for feedback.

This position reports into and works closely with PlanetTogether's Engineering and Delivery Manager.
