• Experience creating modular components in React, with attention to cross-browser compatibility, performance, and accessibility (a11y).
• Exposure to TypeScript / ECMAScript 6+.
• Strong written-communication skills.

• Familiarity with design or user experience (UX).
• Track record of industry experience, including production systems.
• Experience with backend development technologies.

Bonus:

• Track record of leading and mentoring junior software engineers.
• Exposure to game-engine technologies, interactive 3D graphics.
• Keen interest in data pipelines, simulation, machine learning and/or security.

What we do

We are building what will become a leading industrial platform that empowers engineers and research scientists to solve pressing problems in energy efficiency, product design and reliability. We develop and support a product that connects simulations, data, and AI to empower large organisations when making informed decisions across the life cycle of engineered systems.

Quaisr is an early stage startup backed by Crane Venture Partners (UK) and Acequia Capital (USA), along with international angel investors. We were founded on partnerships with leading engineering and research institutions including Imperial College London and The Alan Turing Institute. Our customers are early-adopter multinational organisations in the pharmaceuticals, fast-moving consumer goods, defence, and energy sectors.

Where we operate

Our office is in London (White City). This position is available full time in the UK.

When we work

We offer 25 days paid annual leave, in addition to UK public holidays.

What you will do

• (70%) Scoping and implementing high-quality user interfaces (UIs) that empower our customers to build and maintain industrial digital twins.
• (20%) Address feedback from end users and their organisations, to ensure we are addressing customer problems with compelling solutions.
• (10%) Collaborating with others, you will continually learn and update your technical knowledge, and where appropriate communicate this to the wider team through internal learning sessions and mentoring of other team members.

Technologies we use

For frontend development, we use TypeScript and React along with lightweight client-side state-management. For core backend systems, we use .NET technologies, with PostgreSQL via Entity Framework Core. For deployment, we place a high emphasis on containerisation technologies (Kubernetes) and typically deploy to customers via cloud-provider and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures. Our platform supports end-user code in Python and we maintain and support an SDK for it.

Our benefits

• Salary range of £50,000 to £85,000.
• Employee stock options.
• New equipment: new MacBook Pro, and work-from-home allowance.
• Opportunities to present at technical conferences.
• Flexible hybrid working environment, blending work from the office and home.

Our hiring process

• (30 mins) Introductory call with Quaisr. This is a chance to learn about Quaisr and to check that our plans align with your own. We want to get to know you.
• (60 mins) Online coding exercise (with a Quaisr team member on the call) making changes to a small React app.
• (60 mins) Technical call with two Quaisr team members. We’ll give you an opportunity to talk through a past programming experience, including taking us through some of your code. We want to learn more about you, and a little regarding how you think!
