Front End Software Engineer (ReactJS)
Remote job
Job description
Railnova is hiring an experienced front-end software engineer (Javascript/React) for our Railgenius software team to bring data analytics to railway end-users.
The Railgenius team is currently composed of a product manager, data scientist and back end engineers and leverages our UX/UI designer, infrastructure team and other product development teams at Railnova. We want to reinforce the Railgenius team and product with an experienced ReactJS developer to reinforce its product position as a stand-alone SaaS web product with a great user experience.
Our customers are very engaged and never shy of feature suggestions, so you’ll work with our UX/UI designer, product manager and support team to decide what to implement. You’ll benefit from a lot of autonomy with a fast release cycle.
Real examples of work the Railgenius team has done lately
(That might help you to get a better idea of what this position job entails)


* Implement a user-friendly interface for a complex event processing rule engine enabling our users to detect rolling stock failures in real time.

* Build a powerful data inspector graphing tool to offer our clients a way to discover and graph multiple correlated signals in the browser.

* Show the live, interpolated position (think Flightradar24 for trains) of trains along railway lines and custom map layers.

* Optimize websockets bandwidth to cope with limited client browser capacity, while displaying hundreds of live sensors from a fleet of trains on a single page.

* Design clever database models and API to express multi-tenant sharing of data and complex access permissions, to preserve privacy, security and intellectual property of each party in the data sharing process.

* Talk directly to the customers to understand the desirability and the user fit of what is being built.

* Recently, we started to use Figma front-end features to facilitate communication between UX designers, product managers and front end developers, and Storybook to reuse front-end components.




Examples of what surrounding team members have done lately
(The Railgenius team is multidisciplinary team as you can see)


* Data scientists trained a physical model on 24 month of historic data spanning hundreds of GB on batteries to provide a predictor of battery health while train assets are parked, writing their own software and integrating it in the pipeline and the user front end.

* Data scientists forecasted future usage of train locomotives by extracting past seasonality in our fine grained historical data, to better predict maintenance dates.

* Data engineers optimised heavy SQL queries and indexes to offer great response time for time series querying and pattern search to our end-users.

* Data engineers migrated our real-time complex event processing framework from a homemade Python base to Apache Kafka to help absorb peak traffic and increase availability.

* The infrastructure team migrated most of our applications from bare metal servers to the AWS cloud in a few months in order to offer more reliability and improve the life the engineering team.



Requirements


* You are passionate about making an awesome product for end users.

* You have a degree in computer science/engineering or any equivalent proven track record.

* You are an experienced Javascript / ReactJS developer with familiarity with responsive design.

* You can think critically about a UX design from your programmer perspective and have a good feel for usability and aesthetics

* You have experience with back-end APIs, Python and SQL.

* You are a good (written) communicator, you like working in a team, and speak to customers.
