Senior/Experienced Frontend Developer

Job description

Introduction

At Ava, we started with the people. A small core group of engineers got together to find an industry where we could merge innovation, passion, and simplicity to help people reach their greatest potential. Their attention was drawn towards the world of security—indispensable to modern work, yet often overlooked and taken for granted. Organizations needed the tools to understand if something was happening in real-time to keep their people safe and their data and premises protected.

We are headquartered in Uxbridge (London) and have teams in the US, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and Poland.

Ava Security was acquired by Motorola Solutions Inc in March 2022.

About this position

We are looking for a passionate and experienced frontend developer to join our growing team to help to develop our Web app written in Vue and Typescript. Experience with these technologies is not required, assuming you have experience in related technologies such as Javascript or React. If you care about creating great user experiences, writing solid and maintainable code, and continuously improving existing code then you are the person we are looking for!

Our UIs incorporate a wide range of interesting and technically challenging features that you will help to shape and improve:

• Rendering high resolution video in a performance critical environment.
• Working with large volumes of data in a performant way.
• Designing and implementing new UI components.
• Investigating and improving performance and scalability as new features are added.

At Ava, you will make a defining contribution to the development of our new disruptive product, by:

• Writing high-quality code with creativity and passion.
• Conceptualising, designing and following up on implementation of new functionality in close collaboration with product management, designers, and frontend and backend developers.
• Improving current work, in regards to processes and tools.
• Staying up to date with the latest developments within design and technology, and suggesting short and long-term solutions.

Although we are looking for someone who wants to focus completely on our front end application, there is scope for using technologies across the stack, including in our mobile applications using Swift and Kotlin, and other tools to aid development that are written in Go.
