As a React Web Developer, you are an important member of a creative, exciting, and fast-paced agile team that works closely with other software developers, developers in test, designers, and product managers to drive growth and engagement on two of Canada’s most popular, high scale web sites: TheWeatherNetwork.com and MeteoMedia.com. You’re someone who has strong experience in React development and is familiar with back-end engineering. We value developers who can own projects and develop complete, end-to-end solutions.
You will join our existing agile scrum team to deliver amazing results on a regular basis - from refinement to the deployment of each story. You will be hands-on in solutioning, implementing, and testing new features on the platforms, and you will be part of seeing these changes right through to production.
If you love coming up with creative solutions to technical problems and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves in something new, we’re looking for you!
