Job description



So, you want to have an impact and shape the direction of our web applications, instead of working on the same old bug fixes? Of course you do. At Zivver, we make sure you can.


We’re currently looking for a new Senior Angular Software Engineer skilled in developing new applications and features using Angular/Typescript, while helping other engineers grow at the same time (that’s where your seniority comes in). You’ll be working closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers to build new features and migrate our existing AngularJS web application to our Angular-based mono repo.


At Zivver, we're building the future of secure communications. Our platform (a SaaS application that is served to our users as an Angular web application, Chrome extension and several other frontends) helps hundreds of thousands of users secure their sensitive digital communications and we're growing globally.


Our guiding philosophy is that secure communication requires excellent usability. As an engineer, that's where you'll be making your most significant impact. According to your new colleague, Joshua, you’ll get a great amount of freedom and autonomy within your role: “You decide which direction we’re heading. So you’re not only coding, but you contribute to the whole software development life cycle.”



Hot takes




  • You prefer building over tweaking




  • Write tests now, avoid bugs later




  • As a TypScript believer you can’t believe why people would ever go back to plain Javascript




  • Unreported bugs give you nightmares





A day at Zivver
The office, your house or a coffee place: where and when will you start and end your day? It’s your call, as long as you attend any required meetings and keep your team up-to-date on what you're doing (and with current COVID-restrictions in place, almost everyone works from home). Today, you're finishing up a story which enables a notification when a message has been sent successfully in our new Angular web app. You just need to complete some unit tests, and create a merge request soon. Don’t forget to ping the frontend-guild channel to have someone review your work; it could be picked up by one of your teammates Harris, Mat or Sebastian.


At 9:45 an automated Slack message asks you to give a quick daily update of what you're working on today. You have until noon to give that update and you leave two lines regarding the story you're finishing and what you're picking up next. You spend some time reviewing Harris merge requests, and leave some supportive comments and a few suggestions for improvements.


After lunch, you attend a weekly refinement meeting with the team, including the product manager Matt. You've added some technical details to a few stories the team is planning to pick up soon. The team needs a little more detail on a couple of edge cases that were missed, but you all decide that you have enough information to estimate the story and pick it up in the next sprint. Having finished the refinement, you decide to pick up one of the open tasks in the current sprint, which is focused on making a key mail flow live in the new web app. There's one final meeting left, a quick design review on upcoming features. The designs look amazing, but you have some feedback on technical feasibility and effort. You all agree to scope down the first version a little, and add more detail later. Let’s call it a day!
