Front End Web Application Developer

Company Overview - We are Liquibase

Liquibase is an open-source tool and the name of our company. (We used to be called ‘Datical’ and love using the word ‘radical’. It rhymes!)

Our vision is to be the easiest, safest, and most powerful community-led database change management solution.

Our mission is to transform the way businesses build software. We radically improve and simplify the application release process -- starting with database schema change. Our solutions make developers’ lives better and deliver automation capabilities technology executives need. We remove database deployments as a barrier to delivering new application innovation. With Liquibase, we believe that no one should miss a dance recital or other moments in their life from pulling an all-nighter due to manual database work and fixing errors.

Powered by open source innovation and supported by the experts who know it best, Liquibase is database schema change automation designed for high-speed CI/CD.

What you'll be doing:

Your mission is to delight our users with an attractive, intuitive, and responsive web interface, and to have fun doing it. The main focus of your work will target our newest SaaS offering, so your work will be a large part of the new face of Liquibase. Effectively, you have an opportunity to play a critical role in establishing Liquibase’s image and brand.

We’ve fostered a highly collaborative and communicative environment, so you should not expect to be siloed in this role. You will get to work directly with Product Management and play a major role in UI/UX efforts. You will need to collaborate with the Back End developers to solidify interfaces, and with the QA team to make sure your code is easily testable by our test automation platform. Some other aspects of your day-to-day will include:

Working in an agile team to deliver applications used by Fortune 500 customers
Working with one of Austin's most tenured startup development teams
Assisting Product Team with wireframes and UI/UX best practices
Reviewing and providing technical feedback on new feature requirements
Trailblazing and creating new components + features from scratch
Working with QA members on the agile team to address issues found during automated and manual testing
Collaborating with team members on code reviews, internal infrastructure, and process enhancements
Participating in end-of-sprint retrospectives
Presenting completed software at end-of-sprint company demos

What we're looking for:

3+ years of SaaS web application development
Expertise with Angular 2+ or modern JS frameworks and libraries (e.g. React, Vue, Svelte)
Experience with TypeScript or writing type-safe code (e.g. Java, Go, etc.)
Experience with RxJS and the Reactive Programming Paradigm
Experience with BEM or a similar CSS Methodology (e.g. SMACSS, Atomic CSS)
Highly skilled with HTML5, CSS3, SASS/SCSS, and ESNext Javascript for responsive web applications
An understanding of Clean Architecture applied to web applications
Experience achieving a high level of code-coverage through unit testing
Experience with Angular Material or a similar modern component-based UI Libraries (e.g., PrimeNG, Bootstrap, Kendo)
Experience with testing Frameworks (e.g. cypress, JEST, jasmine, mocha, puppeteer, cucumber, JUnit)
Experience with Front End tooling (e.g. npm, webpack, grunt, gulp, requireJS)
Experience with development tools like Git, GitHub, Jenkins, Maven
Experience consuming RESTful services
Ability to work independently and manage one’s time
Excellent verbal and written communication, problem solving, and interpersonal skills
Degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience

The tools we use:

Angular 2+ (with heavy RxJS use)
Angular Material
Jest
Yarn
NPM
Docker
AWS

Bonus points:

Strong middle tier or back end Java experience is a major plus
Understanding of Modern UX best practices
Experience writing SQL
Experience integrating with billing systems (e.g. Stripe, Square, WePay)
Experience with designing responsive web applications using Figma or a similar design application (e.g. Sketch, Adobe XD)

An Insider's view of Liquibase

What's something quirky about your company?

Liquibase has a very Austin feel. We've all heard the saying, "Keep Austin Weird", which basically means Austin is a place that welcomes talented people. Liquibase is definitely keeping it weird, we respect everyone's right to unapologetically be themselves.

Ronak

Senior Developer Advocate

What projects are you most excited about?

The launch of our newest product, Liquibase Pro, is very exciting. We have millions of fans of our existing opensource technology, so the ability to engage and convert them to Liquibase Pro customers has the entire company jazzed.

Kevin

Director of Inside Sales

What makes someone successful on your team?

Successful members of our Engineering team laugh under pressure. Laughter and fearlessness are essential to survive. The engineers that thrive, though, are those with the confidence to question, the willingness to compromise and the strength to stand fast if that is what is best for end users.

Erzsebet

Principal QA Engineer

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

I try to lead by example and be supportive. When they hit bumps or challenges along the way, I encourage my team to come up with their own solutions and help guide them to the most successful outcome. Ultimately all of my engineers are uber smart and individually resourceful — so I want them to see that AND let their voices be heard.

Kristyl

QA Manager

What’s the vibe like in the office?

I have always felt that the people at Liquibase are friendly and easy-going. However, never underestimate our mentality of “get it done and do it right.” We encourage transparency, compassion and bright ideas in a fast-paced, yet warm environment. We aren’t the types to simply lounge on bean bag chairs and drink cold brew all day.
