The company
Silverorange is a design and development agency based in Canada. With these roles, our team will grow beyond 27 people. When pursuing work, we focus on interesting and meaningful projects. Over our 22 years as a company, we’ve worked with well-known technology organizations like Duolingo and Mozilla, not-for-profit organizations working in areas including arts funding and affordable internet access for low-income families, and with world-renowned doctors training other doctors through online education.

We’re proud of the fantastic products we've built in partnership with our clients and we’re actively invested in the processes behind these products. We are committed to fostering a team focused as much on quality of life, openness, empathy, and a supportive work environment as it is on building great user-focused systems.

The position
We’re looking for several experienced Full Stack React Web Developers to join our team. You’ll start your silverorange career focused on a client in the fields of online education and training, helping us to develop and maintain their products.

Applications will be accepted until November 5, 2021, at which point we’ll be in touch with anyone who has applied. This position is available immediately and we will work with you to get you started as soon as possible.


Growth & ownership
Our team is co-operative and will help you learn and expand your skills via mentoring, team-wide support, and learning opportunities. All members of the team are encouraged and given space to grow as individual contributors, and have ongoing opportunities in project and team leadership. We favour applicants with a strong sense of ownership over their own work, who are excited to learn and contribute, over other metrics like years of experience.

We’re excited to hear your fresh ideas and approach. We have decades of collective experience, and we all continue to become better at what we do by both teaching and learning from each other. Add your voice to our mix.

Opportunity for employee ownership is a fundamental part of silverorange (non-founders currently own more than a third of the company) and we’re currently working on new ways to transfer even more ownership to employees.

Inclusion & diversity
People with different backgrounds and experiences make us stronger, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Our team is getting more diverse across many dimensions of diversity, but we’re still missing perspectives that could make our work better. We highly encourage people from traditionally underrepresented groups in our industry to apply—we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities
  • Implementing features and improvements in a React application, and backend Node.js API service.
  • Integrating multiple separate components into a larger cohesive system.
  • Reviewing code and content changes from other developers on projects.
  • Communicating with team members and clients to understand and balance requirements.
  • Identifying and helping to address technical design issues in client-server Web systems.
  • Writing tests for your work.
  • Identifying and helping to address accessibility issues in Web systems.

Requirements
  • Be a resident of, and available to work from Canada.
  • Be able to quickly learn and understand new systems.
  • Have experience developing reasonably complex integrated systems.
  • Have experience using React to develop client-side web applications.
  • Have experience developing backend API web services in Node.js using tools like Express.
  • Have a solid understanding of core Web technologies (HTTP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), and how these technologies relate to modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries.
  • Know how to write SQL (we use PostgreSQL).
  • Have worked on projects with a team of developers.
  • Be able to communicate clearly with clients and co-workers across multiple time zones. We have team members in PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Ecuador.
While not required, if you have any of the following skills let us know:
  • Working with Firebase
  • TypeScript
  • Writing and maintaining CSS including responsive layout, browser support, and preprocessors like LESS or SASS.
  • Mastering assets (SVG and/or PNG) from Figma, Photoshop, or Illustrator, for use on the Web.
  • End-to-end testing using Cypress or a similar tool.
  • Managing audio/video content on the client and server.

Remote working is just as good as local
Our team has been remote-friendly for over 20 years, and remote-first for the last 7. We continue to improve our approach to having a dispersed team. Due to COVID-19 this position will start as full-time remote regardless of location, though you are welcome to work from our lovely offices in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada once they are re-opened.

Half of our team is full-time remote and 95% of our clients are remote. You’ll need to be comfortable working with remote clients and co-workers regardless of your location.

Typically all employees spend at least one week each year working from our Charlottetown office so plan on visiting PEI semi-regularly once travel is considered safer.

Though you may be working remotely, you’ll be an active member of a great small but growing team, both here at silverorange and with our clients. Regular voice or video communication will help keep you in touch with the smart people with whom you’ll be working.

Benefits & compensation
  • Flexible work days, approached collaboratively with you to allow for the realities of appointments, family minding, and your everyday life.
  • 3 weeks of paid vacation, on top of 10 paid days of civic holidays, and 3 weeks of paid company-wide shut down.
  • Generous health and dental coverage, with 100% of premium covered by silverorange.
  • New computer hardware every 3 years, and other tools as needed.
  • Yearly company-wide bonuses based on overall company success, plus ownership opportunities and dividends for long-term employees.
  • Salary starting at CAD $57,000-70,000 per year depending on experience, with opportunities and expectation of rapid career and compensation growth.
  • Additional remote worker stipend of CAD $3,000 per year and a wellness stipend of $500 per year.
