Core Web

Have you worked on really complex web-applications with millions of users?
Do you care and know a lot about the inner workings of browsers?
Are you the person people often go to for solving complex challenges?
Then we're looking for you!

‍

Highlight

• We are building a powerful solution that combines concepts from word processing and spreadsheets to chat, calendars and programming.
• The system is multi-user and Turing complete, with data and computations moving between clients and servers.
• We need developers with the ability to handle complex problems and turn them into components with simple APIs.
• We need developers that understand how to use the V8 engine to get c-like performance from js.
• We need someone who can understand how the entire system fits together and make sure we evolve a sound architecture.

Responsibilities & Required Skills

• Experience with building complex applications delivered through web-browsers
• Deep technical understanding of the inner workings of most components involved, from databases and network stacks to the browser itself and the js execution environment.
• Ability to define architectures and apis that untangle complexity
• Ability to consistently deliver high quality code through use of necessary testing setups, code-review processes - and to help others getting to a similar level.

Challenges

• State management - multi-client synchronised state in a multi-user system, with some level of immutable histories
• Management of data caching, partially loaded graphs, computed properties and offline functionality.
• Generic data structures allowing 3rd. party extension modules
• Indexing and query languages, "no-code" expression construction and evaluation

Possible technologies you will have to deal with

• V8 and other JS engines - both for own program and as execution engines for extension modules
• Typescript and possibly compiler solutions for sandboxed recompilation of 3rd party code.
• Browsers
• Network stacks
• Cloud services
• Reactive data models
• Real time data synchronization

About you

• You're open and honest with others and with yourself
• You're curious
• You're a life-long learner
• You get a thrill when you can dig in deep, but you impatiently get things done
• You care about understanding the challenges humans and teams face in everyday work
• You love building stuff
