TypeScript library engineering with demonstrated competency using RxJS

Role overview

IO Global, creator of the Cardano blockchain platform, is searching for a TypeScript engineer specialising in library development to join a rapidly expanding Engineering function. You will be working with the Adrestia team to help deliver products based on the market’s needs. While this role does not include GUI development, having a background working with reactive-based rendering technologies will be beneficial.

The team is being expanded to further develop open-source enterprise-grade libraries for backend and frontend use-cases, support application implementations, and maintain the software as the ecosystem evolves.

Location

IO Global is a fully distributed organization and therefore this is a remote position. Due to team distribution we are looking for an engineer based in a European time zone for this role.

Your role

Write clean and efficient code to satisfy acceptance criteria and specifications within tests.
Independently implement designs produced by an architect, proactively, and with minimal supervision.
Co-pilot work items with colleagues, reviewing pull requests on demand, and taking part in one-on-one synchronous correspondence.
Work with QA engineers to continuously improve product quality or address issues.
Implement Cardano specifications and improvement proposals
Support partner or internal integrations.
Be available for emergency fixing of severe issues on released products.
Produce documentation as part of implementing features.
Triage GitHub issues.
Follow agile software development practices.
DevOps tasks to maintain a Github Workflow CI process.
Work asynchronously with team members in various time zones.

Required expertise

Demonstrated ability in TypeScript library engineering. You will be expected to provide a link to an open-source or private git repository. A demo project is acceptable if you don't have one already available.
Demonstrated competence using WebSocket protocols.
Observable and event-driven software, with demonstrated competency using RxJS.
Test-driven development practices.
Secure handling of secret data.
Binary data encoding/decoding.
Understanding of various module standards, including CommonJS, AMD, and standard ECMAScript modules.
