Description:
Telicent is hiring a front-end engineer to help implement our groundbreaking open source data transformation platform and web apps.
Our all-new secure platform enables customers to extricate themselves from architectural patterns that stifle change. We do this by unlocking data and creating frictionless integration for next generation applications. This solves significant interoperability issues for organisations with complex data needs, creating freedom for adaptability, innovation, new integrations and progress, underpinned by data governance.
To compliment the platform's rich functionality, and to accelerate customer engagement and innovation, we're building all-new platform-native web apps around data management and data visualisation. These highly visual and interactive apps will join a no/low code app ecosystem where third party apps can leverage the platform.
We're ready for a further front-end colleague to join us. We're pre-beta and so it's great timing for you to make a positive impact as we capture and implement ways users can interact with our platform and apps, releasing capabilities in data previously impossible.
You'll be encouraged to explore responsibilities, to grow, and to maintain a healthy curiosity for front-end tech and for finding better ways of working with software.
Upcoming projects
- Prototyping, MVP and implementation of all-new web apps that manage, represent and visualise data (you'll be supported on design and UX aspects) - e.g. utilising D3, Cytoscape, Plotly

- Identifying improvements to the front-end architecture to promote and facilitate reuse and consistency
