iBizpeople Ltd
Full-time
On-site
Nairobi Nairobi County Kenya
Company Description
iBizpeople is an international Talent Acquisition consultancy that helps top performers as well as up and coming talent find permanent positions with innovative international GameTech & iGaming companies. Not only do we find you the role, but we also guide you through every step of the interview process so that you will be fully prepared for what happens next. Our aim is to match you with the perfect role for you in companies that will help develop your talent and further your career.
Job Description
What you'll be getting up to:
We are looking for someone to work closely with our product owners to help shape and build the future of our tools and products.
You'd spend your time developing and improving existing projects, for example:
Building new websites and pages based on provided technical and functional specifications
Implementing different strategies for existing products and tools based on requirements
We'd also do a ton of work together like:
Architecting and developing new features
Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations
You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on hard problems, and prototyping different ideas. You wouldn't be just churning through tickets in the backlog — you'd be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we're even building and why
While being a somewhat big company, we're split into small teams which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. We're looking for a programmer, but you'd also help out with things like:
Managing Git VCS issues and fixing bugs
Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make
Helping customer support answer customer questions
Troubleshooting problems during live communication with other teams
If you've ever maintained a large project, working with us carries a lot of the same responsibilities.
Here are a few recent projects you might have worked on if you were already part of the team:
Building next version of our products from scratch with latest technologies
Building a performance testing architecture and laying the groundwork that will be used company-wide
Refactoring the actual production application to simplify and speed up performance without any down-time
Key Responsibilities:
Develop websites based on technical and functional specifications provided by the client;
Continued maintenance, development, and bug fixes for the existing web sites;
Utilise source control tools such as Gitlab for maintaining code versioning and releases;
Test the website on different browsers and identify any technical problems;
Work with the team to manage, optimise and customise multiple web applications;
Attend daily meetings to report on assigned tasks’ progress and attend fortnightly
meetings for project planning and other meetings from time to time;
Complete tasks & deliver projects on-time and to the highest standards;
Contribute ideas for making the application better and easier to use.
Qualifications
Strong front end development skills including HTML, CSS, JavaScript;
Knowledge of Javascript frameworks like React, Angular and Nodejs
Strong working knowledge of web services including REST, JSON, Soap, etc.;
Knowledge and demonstrated experience with cross-browser issues.
Familiar with web development security best practices
Strong command of MySQL
Ability to write and interpret technical documentation.
Preferable two years of relevant experience
Preferable with portfolio of projects that can be viewed online
Good oral and written English communication skills
Ability to work in a team and works well under pressure and deadlines
Ability to organise and manage multiple priorities
Independent but collaborative, driven, assertive
Background in Agile Software Development using Scrum Methodology is preferred but not required.
Background in Online Gaming is preferred but not required
