Frontend engineer for sustainable fish farming

We are developing our product - iFarm - a system that utilizes computer vision, deep learning, and biometrics to create individualized health records for farmed fish. The result is increased fish welfare and sustainability, while lowering production cost for fish farmers.

Our prototypes are tested in real-world environments with over 150 000 fish per cage, and multiple cages per season. Our goal is to create a solution that seamlessly handles all stages from machine vision to sorting fish, generating and visualizing health records, and timely reporting of events for easy decision making. For that we utilize a modern technology stack (Rust, Kubernetes, Kafka, Datadog, React, etc.) to power our hardware and cloud infrastructure. We are focused on developing high quality software and apply code reviews, design docs, service contracts and automated testing in CI/CD pipelines. We follow agile methodology in general, and Kanban in particular, in our product development.

At BioSort we seek the greatest minds from various fields of expertise to bring in new ideas and initiatives. Every employee is part of the whole to realize the vision. Does this sound interesting to you, then join this amazing journey as Frontend Engineer!

the sole frontend engineer in a team of backend and computer vision engineers. As such, your responsibilities will include:

• Taking over responsibility for design, development, architecture, vision and direction of all things under the umbrella of - "frontend".
• Taking over our existing frontend solution(s), previously maintained by a skilled consultant (it's good code, mostly React, Redux and typescript).

• Modern web frontend frameworks (React, Angular, that kind of stuff).
• Principles of cloud-based microservices architecture.
• CI/CD development method.
• Ability to work independently, but still within Kanban framework with rest of the team.
• Basic knowledge of what kubernetes is and how it works.
• Some proficiency with desktop frontend frameworks (things like Qt, gtk, electron, WPF).
• Javascript/Typescript and preferably some proficiency with any statically typed language (our backends are in Rust, it would be nice for a colleague to be able to just understand that codebase, not necessarily extend it, of course).

We offer

• An environment where your opinion matters, and you can make great impact
• Exciting technology development in a multidisciplinary team of passionate, highly skilled, and inspiring colleagues
• Nice open office, by the water
