Copernica is looking for junior to senior front-end developers. In this role you will build dashboards, visualizations, and improve the user experience with our main products: Marketing Suite, MailerQ, and SMTPeter.
Technologies
Our front-end consists mainly of single-page applications written in JavaScript, HTML and LESS. The applications are based on a proprietary library that uses a functional components approach for widgets and pages. We use OOP for data and structure. We work with modern JavaScript and quickly adopt new web APIs. Data is processed based on promises, while user interactions are processed through events. Our front-end uses REST API and WebSockets to retrieve data from our back-end, which is primarily written in PHP.
Culture
We pay a lot of attention to creating maintainable code with best practices in mind. We offer a culture in which you receive a lot of feedback from experienced programmers. Learning new skills and keeping up with relevant technologies is also encouraged.
Copernica's open source libraries
PHP-JS : A bridge between PHP and JavaScript. Using this library, JavaScript code can be executed in PHP code and variables can be shared between the languages.
PHP-CPP : A well-documented C++ library for developing PHP extensions. Extensions built on PHP-CPP are easy to understand and maintain. In-depth knowledge of the Zend engine and pointer manipulation is therefore no longer required.
AMQP-CPP : A C++ library for asynchronous non-blocking communication with RabbitMQ. This library can be used to process incoming data from a RabbitMQ server and to generate frames that can be sent to a RabbitMQ server.
REACT-CPP : An event loop library that uses C++ lambda functions to notify you of activity around a file descriptor or on a timer. Internally it is a wrapper around the libev library and is therefore required.
