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.

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

• 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)
