Frontend Developer (React)

About Tessian

Tessian, formerly CheckRecipient, was founded in 2013 to solve the problem of highly sensitive emails being sent to the wrong people. 

Tessian is on a mission to transform the way enterprises secure their communication channels. We build advanced machine intelligence to help organisations protect their communications and filter out threats without them having to define what a threat looks like.

Position

We’re looking for a Frontend Developer to help us rethink the Tessian dashboard. We are building an Enterprise dashboard that sits on top of our machine learning platform that our clients can use to configure our various products as well as query the threats we’ve detected. You should be comfortable with Javascript, SQL and a frontend framework (ideally React). If you're also able to use a little python to plug our frontend into our backend that's a huge plus!

You'll get to work on designing and developing a brilliant and complex React app from scratch.

Your qualification

• You are a great problem solver who takes pride in their work
• You have good knowledge of Javascript, and a frontend framework (ideally React)
• You enjoy the challenge of working with and presenting summaries of large datasets
• You have a passion for learning new skills and technologies

Will be a plus

• You have worked on large, complex Enterprise dashboards before
• You are equally comfortable working on frontend and backend tasks
• You know enough python to directly plug into our backend
