What does it mean to be a developer at eko?

Being a developer at Eko means connecting with the business at large, rather than focusing solely on a specific niche. You'll collaborate with various departments, and the developments you contribute to will reach millions of end-users.
We value expanding skill sets, discovering new areas of excellence, and pursuing passions over rigid job titles like "senior frontend" or "junior full-stack."

Your true potential 

CVs and resumes can’t capture the full essence of who you are as a developer. We believe in looking beyond bullet points of projects and tech stacks to understand the person behind them. We prioritize how you think and solve problems over specific programming languages and their quirks.

Our ideal candidates are curious, creative thinkers and continuous learners with a passion for technology. If you thrive on learning by doing, love taking on exciting challenges, and enjoy exploring new territories, then Eko is the place for you.

WHAT WILL YOU DO…

• Become an expert in JavaScript in subjects like rendering, I/O handling, and data processing.
• Contribute to every part of our stack - from working with SQL databases to building microservices to crafting complex UI.
• Have full ownership and responsibility over your feature work.
• Collaborate with almost every other department in the company.
• Shape the future of eCommerce - and have fun doing so.
• Be part of a team delivering features to millions of viewers.

OUR DREAM CANDIDATE…

• 3-5 years of experience as a Fullstack Developer
• Has a deep and thorough understanding of at least one programming language and its runtime (ideally JavaScript).
• Has experience writing extensible and testable software. Handled multiple parts of the stack including responsive UI components (using Svelte/React/Angular/Vue) and working with NodeJS and server-side frameworks (Express/Hapi).
• Versed at visual styling with CSS and its ecosystem (SASS/Tailwind)
• Is familiar with software design patterns and comfortable with being handed a feature, designing the architecture for that feature, and knows which design patterns to use.
• Confident with architecture and API design - experience in developing and/or consuming microservices using REST/GraphQL APIs.
• Independence in uncertainty - you’re not expected to know everything coming in, but you should be able to become an expert in what you’re working on and share your knowledge with the rest of the team.

Not a must but we’ll value any experience with these tools we’re already using:

• JavaScript ecosystem - packaging (yarn/npm), building (webpack), testing (mocha/jest/jasmine, headless browsers, etc.).
• Experience and familiarity with the browser rendering process, performance, canvas, WebGL

Benefits:
