Belfast's mission is to be the driving force behind ScreenCloud Apps. Apps provide the magic on screen; they're what let users hook up their social media accounts, design their store menus, or showcase team metrics. We want to help users build their own apps. We write SDKs and develop visual drag & drop tools to create apps in a no-code / low-code style. We're pulling the customer ever closer into the heart of our Product Engineering, focusing our dev efforts around user-driven feedback.

Senior Frontend Engineer

In this role, you will:

• Contribute new features to apps across our whole catalogue, including news ones. Right now, these are all built in React, with each then using the tools & techniques that best suit it.

• Become a core member of the Apps group, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company, and even our customers themselves, to build their own ScreenCloud apps.

• Run your work on a variety of devices, from simple Fire Sticks through to powerful Intel machines, and from 9 inch iPads up to 65" smart TVs.

• Push us to experiment and try new techniques to constantly improve the quality of the apps we build(We’re super interested in bringing more animation and interactivity to our screens next!)

• Collaborate with designers, testers and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect.

• Get stuck in with us on prototypes, POCs and shaping MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital screens next. Then help get these into the hands of real customers and running in the wild of course, no-one wants a stream of POCs that go nowhere!
