Front-End Software Developer Duties and Responsibilities:

The Front-End software developer is responsible for creating and implementing the visual and interactive elements of the Montrium Connect applications. This includes developing user interface (UI) designs, layouts, features using various programming languages and addressing deficiencies.

The Front-End software developer works closely with designers to ensure that the designs are accurate and creative. They often collaborate with Back-End software developers, who are responsible for building and maintaining the server-side of the application.

• Grow and redistribute knowledge within the group by contributing to various communities of practice (COP).
• Have flexibility to manage your own schedule, while being available to your team members during core hours.
• Have the flexibility to evolve in our hybrid environment at our amazing office located in Montreal’s Old Port district.

Join a culture that is data and technology-focused, agile and high-performing.

Have a drive to learn, enjoy taking initiative, and grow into leadership within the teams and the organization.

Experience and Soft Skills:

• Equivalent of a university degree in software science or engineering with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in software development primarily focused on the front-end side, with real world accomplishments and a certain level of maturity.
• Amazing interpersonal and communication skills, team-player, ability to integrate well with others and capacity to lead by influence.
• Strong programming expertise supported by good analytical and design skills (understanding of key design principles).
• In-depth understanding of the entire web development process (design, development and deployment).
• Understanding of layout aesthetics and dynamics.
• Ability to learn and acquire new technologies autonomously.
• Ability to analyze and troubleshoot problems.
• Written and spoken fluency in English and French is essential (other languages always an asset).

Technical Skills:

• Experience with responsive and adaptive design.
• TypeScript, React js and Relay.
• CSS and HTML.
• Component libraries (such as MUI).
• GraphQL and associated query language.
• Configuration control (Git) and CI/CD.
• Understanding of methodologies associated to DevOps, SRE, SCRUM and Agile.

Technical Skills (Assets):
