About the Role
As a Software Engineer, Frontend at Nexleaf you’ll help us achieve scale and impact by serving on a team that designs and develops the frontend web and mobile applications that deliver our cloud-based service to users. This service collects and analyzes data gathered from the hardest to reach places on Earth and connects to tens of thousands of IoT/M2M devices across the globe. These data and services are accessed by users spanning Ministries of Health, global agencies, partner NGOs, and those working in remote, low connectivity environments.
To do this you’ll learn the architecture of our existing frontend system, understand our users, business and product strategy, and work to improve existing user interfaces and implement new ones while iterating closely with our designers and product managers. You will also help create frontend test procedures and documentation, all with a shared goal of helping the organization achieve its vision!

In this role you will:
• Work in a cross functional capacity with product managers, designers, and other engineers to ensure we are building the right solutions to solve users’ problems.
• Support technical decision making and provide input on design and architecture decisions, especially as they pertain to frontend requirements.
• Make well-reasoned design decisions within your area, identify potential issues, trade-offs, risks, and the appropriate level of abstraction with the support of senior engineers and managers.
• Scope problems with the support of senior engineers and managers, as well as troubleshoot technical and operational problems. Debug expertly within your focus area.
• Build and improve our frontend web experiences and mobile applications to follow best practices and align with user needs.
• Follow and seek to improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
• Write maintainable code, develop appropriate tests, and write documentation for your key areas of focus.
• Participate in regular production deployments and write meaningful code reviews for team members.
We are a small, dedicated team at Nexleaf and we all work together to define priorities and plan implementations from discovery through delivery. We care deeply about helping the organization achieve its mission, and recognize our role in bringing that impact to the world!
We also have a robust and professionalized development team, with extensive documentation, well defined processes and a modern stack that includes the latest versions of Python, Django, TypeScript, Angular, and all deployed to AWS. We will also be using Ionic (or similar) cross platform frameworks for creating mobile experiences in the future and you can help drive that change. We use code reviews, containerized development environments (Docker), continuous integration, testing, and individual dev / staging environments. We also provide a choice of Linux, Mac or Windows development environments.
