Frontend Developer

About Saiga

Hi, we are Saiga, a new company working on revolutionising the way people deal with the bureaucracy and administrative issues in their lives. Saiga is founded by an ex-DeepMind researcher and will employ the latest in Machine Learning as part of our offering.

Position

• Working closely with the UX and Engineering team you will develop the various customer-facing parts of our product. Combining your skills in design and development, you will be intimately involved in all aspects of our front ends, shaping these products as the company evolves
• As our first frontend engineer you will have influence on the chosen technologies for building our mobile and web apps and bring those applications to life. Over time we will build a team around you to double-down on these efforts and expect you to be involved in the recruiting and hiring process for that team
• On the engineering side of this role, you will combine the agility and pragmatism required to move quickly in an early stage startup with the attention to detail and diligence required to build and enable beautiful experiences. Your code will be a joy to read and easy for others to understand and build on

Your qualification

• 3+ years of experience in frontend design and engineering
• You write pragmatic and testable code that works consistently across devices
• A good understanding of software engineering foundations such as data structures, algorithms, and design patterns 
• Extensive experience in one or more cross-device frontend frameworks (preferable Flutter or React Native) 
• You are familiar with web and mobile app development
• Ideally, you will have previously built something from zero

We know that box-ticking is dull and that nobody fits all the boxes. Even if not all of this applies to you, we'd love to hear from you!

What we offer

In addition to a competitive salary and equity plan, following aspects are central to our company culture:

• Work-life balance: we operate short core-hours to give full flexibility to working parents and night owls alike
• Real responsibility: as an early employee in an ambitious startup we give you a lot of responsibility (and expect you to own it). We are looking for people who want this
• Growth: you bring a lot of experience to the table. We won't stop here - expect an incredibly steep learning curve and the growth opportunities that come with that
• We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. (Really!) We consider all applications equally and strongly encourage people from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. We can help with immigration
