Job description

VisioStack builds powerful data analytics and visualization software for railways. By building tools that allow users to see and understand the data they need, our software helps railways work faster, plan efficiently, reduce wasted resources, prevent derailments, and more.

The railway data industry is not nearly as well-known as other industries, yet it is a foundation for infrastructure many people rely on across the globe, perhaps unknowingly. With clients in multiple countries, our software supports this industry and pushes it forward. Since its inception, VisioStack has steadily built a reputation for innovative, reliable, thoughtfully-designed software that has made us a leader in the field.

What You'll Be Doing

As a senior full-stack software engineer at VisioStack, you will build and maintain parts of our heavily interactive web applications. Your work, while full-stack, will lean more strongly toward frontend development. Our interfaces are not static, not your basic CRUD applications. Our platform is a fully-fledged, first-class application in every sense, and will push your Python, TypeScript and React knowledge to its limits. You will also build and maintain API endpoints, and occasionally maintain database tables (for example, creating new schemas or modifying existing ones). Since the problem space is inherently complex, you will need skill in building simplicity into your solutions wherever possible.

Core Responsibilities

• Design software in a way that is easy to extend and stays maintainable for a long time.
• Architect, develop, and test highly-interactive and dynamic web applications.
• Build and maintain data pipelines
• Collaborate with our designers to build intuitive and attractive UIs.
• Translate user and business needs into solutions, and implement those solutions

Technologies We Use

• Python and SQLAlchemy for database schema management.
• TypeScript and React for frontend development. Tailwind for styling.
• tRPC and SQL for APIs.
• GitLab for source control

What We Value

• Passion for users' use cases and their problems, with drive to brainstorm exceptional solutions.
• High attention to detail. Skill in finding edge cases and discrepancies, and completely fulfilling requirements.
• Willingness and ability to constantly learn new things and hone your craft (e.g. new technologies, concepts, or tools).
• Strong "design sense." That is, the ability to design elegant, simple, and maintainable code structures to solve complex problems.

What We Require

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or related field.
• 3+ years full-stack development experience building highly-interactive applications.
• Proficiency and experience in TypeScript and React or a similar frontend framework.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Independence from AI coding assistance tools. We recognize these tools can be used powerfully to work more productively, and we provide specific AI tools for you to use if you desire. However, you should not be dependent on such tools in order to develop.

Life at VisioStack

Our mission is to push the boundaries of growth in railway technology, in ourselves, and those we interact with. To live out the intersection of purpose and profession.

At VisioStack, we value developer autonomy and creativity. We empower devs to work quickly and independently to build great solutions, and we eliminate micromanaging as much as possible. We welcome ideas from anyone that might help the customer, believing novel solutions can come from anywhere. VisioStack developers often have a strong influence on the direction of the projects they're involved in, and they often become owners of the projects they primarily work on. Working here, you should expect to make a tangible, positive impact on our product.

We strive to foster an environment of collaboration and camaraderie that is motivating and enjoyable. To this end, we require all new employees to work onsite at our office. We believe this encourages increased productivity and enables faster, more effective collaboration with others.

Our company benefits include:

• Competitive paid time off
• Tenured paid sabbatical

If you want to solve motivating problems, build involved applications, challenge your potential, and work with great people, then VisioStack is the place for you.
