React Engineer

Description

We’re at a turning point in history. Climate change is changing the world faster than ever before. Utilities will play a crucial role in the transformation of our society to fight climate change and become carbon-neutral, while at the same time making sure people and businesses can continue to use energy supply like they’ve been used to for so many years.

At Gorilla, we’re determined to not stay stand by, but to make a real impact on the utility industry by providing data services that allow utilities to play the role they need to play in the quest for a net-zero society. By building something that solves a real problem, and by being the best at what we do.

  • You have experience with building applications with Webpack, ES6, React, Saga and Redux (Material-UI is a plus);
  • You are comfortable with test-driven development;
  • In order to keep learning, you love to keep hunting for what the React ecosystem has to offer next;
  • Just like us, you believe in progressive enhancement to push cutting-edge technology into your applications;
  • You are motivated to audit, profile and enhance the user experience;
  • You create reusable code by developing libraries that can be used across multiple projects or even open-source your best work;
