Who we need

Reporting to the Manager of Software Development, we are looking for a Senior Front-End Developer who takes pride in creating the best possible solutions and wants to accelerate their career. At Shoplogix, we work using a Kanban and Agile development methodology to manage shifting priorities and ensure the delivery of high-quality software. You will be part of a North American and European team collaborating on new feature and module development projects. You will work on all aspects of the software development life cycle, including design, coding, peer review, QA and fixes for support tickets.

This hybrid role requires working from our headquarters in Oakville, ON, once a week.

What’s in it for you

Exposure, impact and influence. You will be part of a collaborative and agile team of Software Developers, designing, building and deploying cloud solutions for manufacturing clients to optimize their business and leverage vast amounts of data to grow their revenue. You will see your ideas come together as you contribute to solving real-world problems. Whether it’s contributing to mobile app development or moving to the latest technologies for our code base or cloud deployment, you will have ongoing chances to expand your skills.

Cutting-edge technology. Our software takes I/O signals directly through OPC, Modbus, and other industrial communications protocols from the factory floor. It pushes them up to our cloud services, which provide a real-time conduit for our web reporting, mobile apps, media displays, and notification engine. We use the latest versions of modern frameworks, and are currently expanding our use of Linux to increase stability and scalability. These include AWS (EC2, RDS), HTML5, ES6 JavaScript utilizing React.js / Redux, Python, C#, RESTful web services, Go, PostgreSQL, Bash, Powershell, Kubernetes, and Docker.

Career development. You want to channel your coaching abilities towards leading feature development and mentoring new team members as they come on board. You have the front- and back-end experience to take on more complex technical aspects of the projects we are working on. You will be part of an organization that hosts mini hackathons, is open to new tools and ideas, and promotes from within. Whether you want to move up into a technical or people-lead role, into DevOps or to another area of Constellation Software, you will be supported.

How you will make an impact:

• Create in-demand product features. You will develop and deploy new features and modules and contribute to the architecture and framework of our solution. You will increase your understanding of our products, and continuously grow your knowledge of IIoT.
• Set exceptional standards through collaboration. You will hold yourself accountable to the team for reliable quality code, participate in peer code reviews and test automation. You will ensure that each release meets our high-quality standards. You will propose optimizations for enhancing the reliability and speed of our platform.
• Research and analyze. You will actively participate in architecture discussions, presenting well-thought-out ideas and evidence for choosing a particular tool, process or method.

You will bring:

• The technical expertise. You have broad and deep expertise in building and deploying complex Single Page Applications (SPA) via the latest technologies in JavaScript, HTML, CSS working with NodeJS, and modern JS build techniques via webpack, Vite, etc. Additional expertise in .NET, C#, a scripting language: such as PowerShell, Python or Bash will be considered assets. You can adapt to and embrace working within Linux. You have exposure to the full development life cycle and an understanding of working within an Agile Scrum or Kanban framework. You prioritize writing high-quality, readable, maintainable, well-commented and long-lasting code. Ideally, you have experience working with and connecting to industrial controllers.
• The growth mindset. You have strong computer science fundamentals (object-oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, problem-solving). You have an ongoing interest in staying ahead of the curve for modern frameworks and approaches. Ideally, you have exposure to building solutions for industrial clients.
• The collaborative approach. You can build trusting relations and efficiently work across in-person and remote teams. You are quick to adapt when priorities shift and take feedback well. You are comfortable with ambiguity and are willing to figure things out when no clear, defined path or process is outlined.
• The initiative. You are a critical thinker who can creatively solve problems while continuously pursuing knowledge. You are inspired by a fast-paced environment and can rise to the challenge of competing priorities.
