Hello, we’re ScreenCloud!
Founded in 2015 and with 10,000+ customers around the globe, ScreenCloud is a cloud-based SaaS company, employing over 100 people in our Bangkok, Belfast, LA, Charlotte and London hubs.
At ScreenCloud, we’re hard at work helping businesses to make stronger connections at scale, and with those who are most important to them; their employees & their customers. By using the screens on their walls & the content in their systems, we enable the sales, productivity & engagement that keep our customers’ businesses thriving.
We’re very proud of our product and we’re also incredibly proud of our people. It’s our ‘ScreenClouders’ and the culture they nurture that will take us where other companies just can’t go. So if you’re someone looking to join a team of talented individuals, apply below!
The Role
Studio is the app that powers all of ScreenCloud. Users sign up, then use Studio as a CMS to design content for screens, access our app store, manage their physical devices, and everything else. It’s powered by React, GraphQL and Postgres. But now it’s time to write the next generation of Studio, starting from a clean slate and the latest in modern web development; hybrid apps with NextJS, blazing performance with edge networks, and an API gateway designed for anyone to build on.
You’ll be part of a team wholly responsible for each project it takes on, meaning Product/Design/Dev/QA all in the one team, with full power to shape its project. You’ll also help drive and ensure we strive for technical excellence when it comes to building and maintaining our modern web apps.
And of course being a product for TV screens, the end result is a super visual experience that will keep a curious dev engaged for a long while to come!
Responsibilities
- Lead a small cross-functional Engineering team across developers, QA, Design and Product
- Own the outcomes for your team, both in shaping & setting goals upfront, then sharing progress and adjusting your plans when needed to ensure the most valuable work finds its way into customer’s hands
- Line Management of mid-level and Senior Engineers, providing guidance and advice to level up their careers and abilities, with servant leadership first
- Be the facilitator of the Team. Be an example to the team day-to-day in breaking projects down into manageable chunks, ensuring each feature is built to the same quality, and constantly looking backwards for where to improve next
- Become a core member of the Studio group, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company to build on and extend our core CMS
- Spend time with other Engineers in the code when it makes sense, writing primarily in TypeScript on Node and deploying to AWS to deliver the APIs and infrastructure that power our whole system end to end
- Get stuck in with us on prototypes and MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital signage content and management next. Then help get the best of these into the hands of real customers of course
- Explore our AI prototypes and experiment with how the workflows AI enables can make work lives better for our users every day
- Design solutions that reduce complexity and orchestration across independent microservices (including making use of modern cloud native components that can do some of the heavy lifting for you, like hosted event buses and API Gateways)
Requirements
- You are a servant Leader and you have experience on leading small Teams
- You have demonstrated experience building REST or GraphQL services with JavaScript/TypeScript. You may also have worked in similar languages, and able to discuss the benefits/tradeoffs of how you design a system
- You have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past, and can confidently discuss the trade-offs and opportunities in designing real-life systems on these products
- You have experience designing solutions to integrate multiple isolated services together in a scalable and understandable way
- You can help lead whiteboard sessions to design new solutions, and discuss the flows of data across those systems
- You document your work, ensuring knowledge is readily available for both other members of the team, including the frontend developers hitting your services, but equally for new developers who may come across it many months down the line
- You relish the hard work of demonstrating quality through accurate monitoring and alerting, as well as effective logging for when things do go wrong
- You understand that the user's experience, both in setting up an app and then seeing it on screen is the north star metric for any work we do. The more complexity we can abstract away from them, the better our systems are!
- You work best in small teams and deliver the highest quality code when you’re surrounded by great people. You go out of your way to share your knowledge and make difficult concepts understandable for the whole team
Bonus Skills
- Deep knowledge of modern cloud providers like AWS or Azure
- Have designed and implemented complex systems from scratch, and are able to draw your designs to review & discuss pros/cons with team mates first
- Fundamental knowledge of build and CI pipelines, including how to optimize for scale
- Database design and query optimisation on SQL services (We use Postgres)
- NoSQL experience with services like DynamoDB and Redis
- End to end testing with tools like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
- Modern webapps built on a React framework
