Who we need

Reporting to the Manager of Software Development, we are looking for a Senior Front-End Developer who takes pride in creating the best possible solutions and wants to accelerate their career. At Shoplogix, we work using a Kanban and Agile development methodology to manage shifting priorities and ensure the delivery of high-quality software. You will be part of a North American and European team collaborating on new feature and module development projects. You will work on all aspects of the software development life cycle, including design, coding, peer review, QA and fixes for support tickets.

Cutting-edge technology

Our software takes I/O signals directly through OPC, Modbus, and other industrial communications protocols from the factory floor. It pushes them up to our cloud services, which provide a real-time conduit for our web reporting, mobile apps, media displays, and notification engine.

These include AWS (EC2, RDS), HTML5, ES6 JavaScript utilizing React.js / Redux, Python, C#, RESTful web services, Go, PostgreSQL, Bash, Powershell, Kubernetes, and Docker.

Career development

You want to channel your coaching abilities towards leading feature development and mentoring new team members as they come on board. You have the front- and back-end experience to take on more complex technical aspects of the projects we are working on. You will be part of an organization that hosts mini hackathons, is open to new tools and ideas, and promotes from within. Whether you want to move up into a technical or people-lead role, into DevOps or to another area of Constellation Software, you will be supported.
