About the Role

Frontend Engineers at Coalition focus on driving amazing user experiences for internal and external customers. You will work closely with design/product/engineering/business stakeholders to enable the team to deliver and operate quality user experiences across the web. In addition to contributing to our user experiences, you’ll also help shape how we build them, operate them, and work together as teams through your contributions both to our cultural and technical ideals.

The Cyber Experience platform currently leverages React, JS, GraphQL to create fluid experiences for our customers. We prefer to use the right tool for the job and make pragmatic decisions about how to scale and decouple systems as we continue to grow. We’re looking for someone who can navigate an environment with many moving pieces and systems to help the team understand how they fit into the broader puzzle.

This is a remote position that can be based anywhere in Canada.

  • It’s not the years, it’s the miles but we’d expect you’d like have 2+ years of hands-on software development experience building SPAs, components, and interactive experiences
  • Experience building performant SPAs using React and TypeScript from written requirements and hi-fi visual mockups
  • Analyzing software errors with tools like Sentry, DataDog, Jaeger/Zipkin, GreyLog, or App Dynamics
