2 x Angular 5 Developers Required - 12 Week Contract - Possible Permanent Opportunities - Remote Positions

We are an established retail based company, (10 years running!). Our company is now on the verge of bringing our business online and into the drop shipping ecommerce space, and we are looking for 2 Angular developers to join the team!

The project you will be joining has been in development for several months and is currently in phase 1 pre-beta. So we are looking for a couple of gun developers to help get us over the line with phase 2, with a goal to launch phase 2 in mid September.

Because of this deadline, it is important that as our new developers you are reliable and dedicated, and have experience and knowledge with ecommerce principles and are confident in what you know. This is not a learn-as-you-go position, so you must be able to demonstrate relevant skills and show previous experience in the Angular 5 framework. Experience in working with backend APIs is also a must!

You will be working closely with the lead backend developer and the UI designer, and with your fellow Angular developer so you must have great communication skills. Please don’t apply if you like to be given a task and be left alone until complete. We encourage frequent discussions and interactions on our Slack channels to make sure we are always on the same page. With that said, we do respect and encourage when one is “in the zone”.

These roles are currently remote positions, so you must have nailed the ‘work from home’ lifestyle and have great time management skills. These are also Full Time contract positions so you need to be available during business hours, Monday to Friday for the 12 week contract. We are flexible though, so if you have a dentist appointment, or your mum wants to go to brunch, that is not a problem. But please do not apply if you cannot commit to this schedule.

Because of our working hours, and tight deadlines, we will not be accepting overseas candidates for these roles. You must be located in Australia to be considered. Overseas applications will not be reviewed, sorry!

Note: These roles have the opportunity for extension, or to be made more permanent, for the right candidates!
