Frontend Developer

At Hero Gaming, we’re looking for an experienced Frontend Developer to join one of our product development teams 🙌.
You have the option of either joining our team in our sleek offices located in Sweden (Malmö), Malta (St Julian’s), Spain (Marbella) or remotely within UTC -1 to UTC +3 time zones 🌍.
Reporting to the Business Owner (mix of product owner and project manager), together with a team of heroes you will be responsible for:
Improving performance by finding and fixing bottlenecks in both server and client parts of our application stack.
Adopting GraphQL. This includes schema design, migration from existing REST networking and state management with Redux.
Legacy project maintenance: upgrading dependencies, implementing Server Side Rendering, migrating to GraphQL, etc.
Improving product SEO with the help of Contentful CMS.
Conversion and UX improvements.

Do you have what it takes? 😎 This is what we’re looking for:
Mandatory skills are general web development and programming skills at an expert level.
In addition, we need you to have experience (the more the better) with the following:
React. Expert knowledge. Hooks, Suspense, and server-side rendering.
Emotion + Theme UI. Using theming to build design systems and UI kits.
React Router. Mostly v5, but we have apps that still use v3.
NodeJS. Mainly for server-side rendering of the React app and the GraphQL server.
GraphQL (Apollo Server + URQL). Developing proxy for existing REST API services and migrating frontend apps from Redux.

We also use the following technologies and having experience with them is a bonus, but not a requirement 😁:
Redux. Would help to navigate and refactor legacy code. Loads of custom middlewares, obscure data fetching with Redux Effects library.
npm. As in “package registry”. We have plenty of private packages and we deal with publishing them on a regular basis.
Webpack. We use Razzle to avoid dealing with Webpack directly and aim to migrate to NextJS, yet being a Senior Webpack Config Engineer comes handy at times.
Circle CI, GitHub Actions, ESLint, Prettier, Semantic Release and other tools to avoid doing boring things and do interesting things instead. We’re lazy and robots must suffer instead of us.
Cloud infrastructure. We deploy our products (and backing services) as Docker containers to AWS ECS and Kuberenetes so one might have a chance to perform occasional DevOps blessings.
Headless CMS. We use Contenful as our content management system.
