Front-end developer

Sorry! This job has been filled.

We are looking for an amazing front-end developer. This doesn’t mean you need to have 5+ years experience in the industry, we care much more about skill and passion than credentials.

Who we are

Red Guava is a small, bootstrapped and profitable software company based in Melbourne, Australia. We love building software and working with talented people.

We build a product called Cliniko. Cliniko makes life easy for Allied Health professionals by handling appointment scheduling, storing treatment notes and a bunch of other things too. It is already used globally by thousands of people every day.

How we work

We work smarter, not harder. We think work/life balance is important and we work a 30 hour week as standard (you still get a full-time pay; it’s a full-time position).

Some of us work in our office in Melbourne, but not all (we have team members in the UK, USA, Canada, Poland, Brazil and Portugal). We want to hire the best person available, not just the best person within a 10km radius.

We work autonomously and without hierarchy. There are no fancy job titles or levels of management, we all just get things done.

Who you are

You are a front end developer extraordinaire!

You are highly organised and pedantic with your code and have strong opinions about CSS architecture and HTML structure. Refactoring and removing unnecessary code is one of life's sad little pleasures for you. You care greatly about accessibility. You’re excited by the opportunity to tame a wild beast of an application.

Strong javascript skills are a big plus (we use a combination of Coffeescript and Angular JS).

What you'll work on

You’ll spend most of your time working on Cliniko, and a bit of your time working on the marketing website. Things you might be doing include:

  • Helping to transition Cliniko into a fully responsive application.
  • Implementing designs in HTML, SASS & Javascript in a large rails application.
  • Improving the accessibility of the application.
  • Refactoring code for performance gains.

Basically, you'll be making Cliniko better for our customers.

In summary

Let’s be clear, you need to be seriously amazing. We are a small team and we want to keep it that way. We will offer you the best job you have ever had with plenty of perks, but we expect you to be super-talented.

You should be absolutely passionate about building great software. You should take pride in your work and be excited to share it with our users.

How to apply

Write Joel a nice email to apply for this job.

In your email, tell us what part of your work you enjoy most.

Please don’t send a resume; we will print it out and burn it and you'll feel bad about all the wasted paper.

Being creative is always looked upon favourably.
