Position Overview

If you’re a super creative front-end developer who enjoys building design-led, world-class software delivered for use on premise or in the cloud, you need to show us your portfolio right away! We’re looking for passionate, innovative and talented Sr. front-end developer to join a highly motivated team of engineers.

Responsibilities

• You must have proven experience in any of the modern JavaScript frameworks such as AngularJS, ReactJS, EmberJs, KnockoutJs, etc. You should be able to explain the good, the and the bad of the framework(s) that you have used – in other words you know them in and out.
• Backend can be Php, Asp.Net, Node.JS, etc. 
• You have used continuous integration tools such as Gulp, Grunt, Bowere, Npm, etc.
• You understand the oddities with different browser and has tricks up your sleeve dealing with them.

• You understand MVC and MVVM front-end design patterns very well.
• You have written unit tests for your front-end app.
• You enjoy reading blogs in the front-end technology and can speak about the latest trends at ease. In fact, you know some of the leading bloggers by their names (just like the .Net developers know who Scott Hanselman is).
• You take performance of your application very seriously and are very concerned about the amount of code running on the browser, especially on mobile phones, where inefficient JS can cause battery drain, waste of bandwidth, etc.
• Security is as important to you as Performance. You carefully look for holes in your code and ensure that unnecessary information is not exposed in the html. In other words, your models contain only the data required for your app, and not the entire record from database.
• You also realize that the app needs to be SEO friendly.

Travel

• Our Product Management team is located in the Silicon Valley, so you may need to travel a couple of times an year for brainstorming. San Francesco is always fun! 

How we work

• Though we have been in business for quite a few years, we still love to work as start-up. We enjoy being like that and get a lot accomplished.

• We follow 2 week sprints, with stand-ups every day at 9 AM PDT. We have Sprint reviews and planning every two weeks.

What else do you offer?

• How about becoming an author – yes a real author with the book selling on Amazon. Checkout our latest DNN 7 book: http://www.amazon.ca/Professional-DNN7-Open-Source-Platform/dp/111885084X

• This book was written by many of DNN Corp employees along with community members in DNN Ecosystem.

• At this time, we do not know when / if the next book will be written, but that’s always a possibility.

• Microsoft MVP – Some of our employees are Microsoft MVPs. Not everyone gets to be Microsoft MVP or wants to be Microsoft MVP, but should you want, the opportunity is there. You need to make yourself visible by contributing open source code or blogging / talking about it.

• Build your own brand – Many of our developers are well known in the community because of the code they contribute to DNN ecosystem (as employee or their own contribution), the blogging they do, the answers they provide in various forums, etc. – eventually people start to know them. You have the ultimate shot to build your online brand.
