With a mission focused on understanding the buyers and sellers best interest, we are building tech that gives them instant access to commerce tools both online and offline allowing them to transact and communication with each other inclding social and gamification aspects of modern day commerce experience.
Ignite Solutions is at an incredible inflection point as we trail towards the end of our early-stage we sit poised for high growth to not only disrupt but ultimately change the industry.
Fantastic opportunity for an experienced, mid-level, front-end programmer. Our stack: React, Flutter, .NET, MS Azure. We are looking for very strong front-end React.js skills. Your primary focus will be on developing user interface components and implementing them following well-known React.js workflows (such as Flux or Redux). You will ensure that these components and the overall application are robust and easy to maintain. You will coordinate with the rest of the team working on multiple layers of the infrastructure. Therefore, a commitment to collaborative problem solving, sophisticated design, and quality product is important.As a full-time React.Js Engineer, you’ll play an essential role in developing solutions for buyers and sellers to find and purchase products and services both online and offline.
We have multiple Web and Mobile apps. You’ll work closely with our PM, designer, and engineers to architect and develop delightful user experiences.
Together. Founders, engineers, designers, and product managers - everyone helps define our strategy and roadmap. You will never be asked to limit your work to engineering wireframes and designs. You will play a role in helping us decide the direction we take. Uncertainty doesn’t intimidate you, the realm of possibilities and ownership inspires you.
Our team is distributed across multiple countries, and we all work during normal local business hours. Everyone is expected to work 40 hours per week, and we track how much everyone works using time tracking tools. Our time tracking process consists of more than just entering the hours you worked at the end of the day or the end of the week. We track our time by project, and feature, which affords our stakeholders a lot of visibility into what we’re working on and what we’re getting done. An advantage of tracking time in this way, is that it allows us to pay overtime when Igniters work more than 40 hours per week. We often offer OT but rarely require it. Alternatively, we also offer “PTO banking” which allows you to bank your overtime hours as additional PTO.
For communication with team members, clients, etc. we use MS Teams, and there’s a lot of collaboration throughout the day within our Teams channels. We ask team members to be available in Teams throughout the day, and be able to jump into a video meeting on short notice to collaborate with team members and meet with managers. We find that face-to-face video meetings are more effective than phone calls, and we do a lot of them, so you’ll need a strong internet connection and a presentable work environment and be able to jump into video meetings throughout the day.
