In just the last couple of years we've received awards for best workplace, innovation and technology, employer of the year, developer of the year and business of the year to name a few.
One of our goals is to have a positive impact on people's lives through the software that we build, and we deliver some amazing work across a wide range of sectors. Take a look at some of our projects.
Requirements
As a frontend software engineer, you'll love working with us if:
- You're genuinely passionate about turning innovative ideas into reality using the latest technology
- You want to improve people's lives through the software you build
- You deeply care about the quality of your work and the people you work closely with
Working at the forefront of technology means we don't expect you to know our exact tech stack - we know that next year the technology landscape will be different! That said, our current typical frontend technologies are:
- Typescript/Javascript
- React.js (NextJS)
- SASS, CSS Modules
- Capacitor
The nature of the work we do means there is often the opportunity to work outside of the typical stack so nice to haves would be:
- Unity or Unreal
- Blender or other 3D modelling software
- Mixed reality technologies
- Experience with LLM's or other AI powered services
You'll be working with a mixed delivery team comprised of project managers, backend engineers and designers so experience of the following would be ideal:
- Integrating with APIs
- GIT based source control
- Continuous integration and release (Web and Native applications)
- Agile methodology
- Implementing designs and UX flows created in Figma
- Good team and client communication skills
At Rocketmakers our priority is to find the right crew member to join us, who wants to contribute to our success while embodying the core values that were chosen by our team -
Happiness in our Work, Continuous Learning, Excellence & Expertise, Teamwork, Honesty, Positive Impact Mindset.
