RESPONSIBILITIES:
The primary focus of this position is coding creative, operational, front-end software that enhances our products. The Engineering Team has multiple projects that often start at the concept stage and develops new products and/or product features from scratch. Our products are constantly evolving with our client needs – we are not simply maintaining existing products.

This is a full SDLC development position. The Front-end Software Developer must be willing to take on all aspects of the development process, and be ready to support applications in production environments. He/she will be asked to test code sets, document software, and implement products and related solutions. We are currently on a release cycle and are striving towards a continuous development environment.

The Front-end Software Developer will be tasked with analyzing, identifying, and solving highly-complex issues related to software development and related technologies. As needed, this person may be involved in the mentoring of more junior-level developers on the technical aspects of our products, technology, and related software tools. This developer needs to have a willingness to do whatever it takes to make the products and the company successful.

A high degree of creativity and motivation is required of the successful candidate, who is expected to operate with limited direct supervision.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• We require strong development skills in React.js with Redux front-end software development 
• BS in Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• At least five (5) years of front-end software analysis, design, and development experience on highly-scalable web properties supporting multiple browsers
• Scrum experience, knowledge, and acceptance
• You must have a strong belief in writing tests for your own code – we currently write unit tests, and are creating a framework to include feature testing and integration testing
• Strong experience with Design Patterns
• Solid understanding of the SDLC
• Experience with iterative development with quick release cycles (Agile Methodologies)
• Experience with any modern testing practices (experience with TDD, BDD, and/or UI / API / Component test automation is beneficial)
• Experience working with peers and Software Architects on highly complex technical issues
• If working remotely, you should be able to travel occasionally to our Bend office (about 2-3 days per month is anticipated and this is expensed to NAVIS)

In addition to the above requirements, the following technical experience is considered advantageous, but is not required:

• Java back-end development experience
• CI / CD experience with Chef
• Open ID experience
• Git experience
• Docker
• VOIP
• Experience with internationalization

POSITION LOCATION:

Bend, Oregon (office), or Portland, Oregon (remote)
