What we need
We are looking for a frontend developer to strengthen our UI team behind ahrefs.com with ReasonReact as the base of the technology stack. You will be working closely with our designers and QA to build an ergonomic user interface.
Basic Requirements:
- Proficiency and experience in ReasonML will be appreciated, otherwise, a strong inclination to intensively learn it in the short term
- Strong experience with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and React
- Elasticsearch experience is a plus
- Experience with other functional and statically-typed languages (Elm, OCaml, F#, Haskell, Scala, etc.) is a plus
In this role, you are expected to:
- Translate design mock-ups into live HTML, CSS and JavaScript
- Test for cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device compatibility
- Understand business needs and user behaviour, and propose UI/UX improvement
- Write clean & modular code
- Follow modern web best practices
- Work independently
- Bonus points for not messing up Git rebase
If your preference is leaning towards functional languages on the server side, you may want to consider our OCaml position instead.
Who We Are:
Ahrefs runs an internet-scale bot that crawls the whole web 24/7, storing huge volumes of information to be indexed and structured in a timely fashion. Our backend system is powered by a custom petabyte-scale distributed key-value storage to accommodate all that data coming in at high speed. With this data, Ahrefs builds analytics services for end-users in the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) space and a web-scale search platform.
We are a lean and robust team who strongly believe that better technology leads to better solutions for real-world problems.
Our motto is "first do it, then do it right, then do it better".
