Senior Frontend Engineer

The Sensible Code Company has developed Cantabular, an innovative data publishing platform designed to generate cross-tabulations of survey data from microdata in real-time.

Following the successful use of Cantabular to power the publication of the England & Wales and Northern Ireland 2021 censuses, we are looking to expand the range of both statistical and visual outputs that the software can produce.

This will include the integration of maps, dynamic visualizations, and user-defined dashboards into our existing server-rendered, progressively-enhanced user interface.

We’re a friendly, supportive and experienced remote team focused on delivering high quality software. We've been working remotely as a company since 2018 and collaborate using Slack, GitHub and GSuite.

You'll report to our lead product engineer and will:

• Lead the development of new interactive features such as data visualizations and dashboards using TypeScript, Lit-based web components and Go templates

• Create proof of concept illustrations of our GraphQL APIs using Lit, React or Svelte

• Write readable, maintainable and well-tested code

• Collaborate with a committed team of engineers to maintain a high standard of software development

Requirements

• Deep understanding of web standards: the JavaScript language, HTML5 and CSS3

• 5+ years of experience with modern JavaScript frameworks and build tools

• Experience building interactive visualisations with D3, Svelte or other libraries and frameworks

• Ability to plan, iterate and ship ideas quickly, while testing and documenting code thoroughly

• Comfortable working with Git and GitHub flow for collaboration

• Great written and verbal communication skills
