Senior Frontend Software Engineer

We are looking for brilliant, creative, curious, and experienced frontend software engineers to join our applications team. This team delivers internal and customer-facing web applications to manage complex ad campaigns and to provide deep reporting, analytics, and data visualisation capabilities sourced from big data and machine learning technologies. Geospatial data is at the heart of what we do and this team helps make it beautiful, useful, and inspiring. As a tech-first product company, this team works on things that are visible and matter to customers and the business!

Frontend software engineers at Blis are more than just web developers- they’re people who are builders, designers, and problem solvers at heart, people with a passion to make things better. You will help innovate and design new features and products, work with the team to build them, and support and grow them after they’re live. We discuss ‘why’ as much as ‘what’ and ‘how’ in our planning meetings because we want you to see and help shape our future. We value soft boundaries between teams and you’ll get to work with other engineers, data scientists, and product managers to see how it all comes together. As engineers, you’ll help us follow good design principles, especially those inspired by Lean Development, and you’ll enjoy learning, growing, and pushing yourself and the products in new ways. And, of course, you’ll enjoy being part of a team that supports each other through mentoring, brainstorming, and pairing up to solve ambitious challenges.
