This For That is an early stage startup disrupting the way people consume. We are a peer to peer barter community where women exchange everything from their wardrobes that they can put a value on. Our platform operates in its own unique currency which makes barter almost a game like experience, where women can earn credits by ‘Swapping’ their products and use them to score more products within the app.
Aimed at building a massive parallel economy, This For That, is looking for highly driven engineers to build out a world class product. The product is in its early stages so there’s a lot to learn and build from scratch. You will get to work alongside seasoned business and marketing professionals and become part of the core engineering team.

1) 2-5 years of professional JavaScript development experience
2) Understanding of asynchronous programming and its quirks and workarounds
3) Comfortable working through the entire stack from the user interface through systems levels
4) Understanding accessibility and security compliance
5) Strong Logical and Analytical Skills
6) Experience in consuming web services (REST) and processing data (JSON)
7) Experience with SQLite, NoSQL, Redis or other databases
8) Proven experience in building API services using NodeJS Express and related frameworks

In depth knowledge of all of the above is not mandatory but the nature of the work will involve learning and getting involved with all of the above. You would be working directly with key members of the management team to define and drive technical strategy.
Experience in the mobile space is mandatory. Please only apply if you have been part of building a mobile product. Since our product is mobile only, it is essential that you understand implications on the front end.
Perks:
1) Monthly salary paid at the beginning of the month
2) A highly motivating and open work environment
3) Great food from time to time (We are a team of big foodies!)
