Overview

At Doist, we strive to build not only amazing products but amazing groups of people. Our multidisciplinary teams are passionate about creating products like Todoist and Twist that improve people’s lives. They thrive on innovating new solutions to old productivity challenges and seek to change how productivity tools are made.

Doist is a global, remote-first company and we believe that our way of working– independent of borders and time zones– is the future.

Your role

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with Todoist’s back-end development and design teams to turn Todoist into a true productivity hub. This is a challenging task since Todoist is constantly evolving and is available on many platforms and continues to grow weekly. You’ll help improve Todoist by building useful and innovative features, building reusable libraries and tools, and improving our codebases with modern JavaScript tools such React and Redux.

As a front-end JavaScript engineer you’ll:

  • Contribute code to multiple projects and initiatives that modernize our front-end code to follow latest best practices (e.g. ES6, React)
  • Propose, design, develop, and deploy new functionalities
  • Be a responsible team member: do code reviews, mentor others, refactor code, share knowledge

REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate is a savvy JavaScript developer with a deep understanding of the latest Internet technologies, a keen engineering intuition, and outstanding communication skills. In addition, you should have:

  • Experience building complex interactive web applications.
  • Solid knowledge of modern JavaScript. You should have a substantial grasp of concepts like prototypes, closures, asynchronous programming and ES6.
  • The ability to use and customize tools (i.e. Webpack, Gulp) to streamline your development/build process.
  • Good computer science fundamentals, especially regarding your knowledge related to the web technology stack.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and stay self-motivated, or previous experience working in remote teams.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English.
  • Bonus: Experience working with React and Redux.

BENEFITS

We’re bootstrapped, profitable, and committed to building a sustainable company that will continue to grow for decades to come. That means we value work-life balance and invest in our employees’ long-term growth.

We offer:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Generous paid vacation + national holidays
  • Education stipends
  • Flexible schedule and location
  • Home office perks
  • And much more
