The Opportunity
What is HeyOrca?
As a developer, you have probably worked on some contracts and projects at some point in your life: setting up a website, developing software, consulting, ... . The success of the project relies on effective communication between you, your team, and the stakeholders of the project by defining goals, deliverables, collaborating on work, and communicating the results. Marketing agencies work similarly: they help tens and hundreds of clients with their marketing strategy and content; all with different expectations, deadlines and deliverables. HeyOrca is a web based tool to make sense of this chaos: bringing the marketing team and their clients together in one place to communicate, create, and deliver. Think of it like github for marketing agencies.
The front-end architect
We are completely reworking our monolithic front-end to a component-based architecture. We are also working on new features and re-design of existing UI every sprint. This all has to be done efficiently, with re-usable components and should be easily maintainable. This is only possible by front-end developers who are familiar with state of the art technologies and frameworks and know how to code clean. This is where you come in:
We are looking for front-end developers like you to join and help us create structured front-end code and deliver a pleasant look and experience to our users.
PS. If you are more interested in web design than programming, you might want to check out our UX/UI position.

- Working with back-end developers, the design and product team to create new features
- Working with the design team to improve existing interfaces
- Communicating with the customer support team to identify and resolve bugs
- Creating automated tests for the front-end components

- Have work experience with creating and maintaining a real web application.
- Have a computer science degree or similar education or work experience.
