Senior Full-Stack Developer to work on a hybrid mobile app

Join us in a project that has impacted the lives of millions of people while working in full autonomy. And most importantly, do so with complete control over your schedule and location.

We have already created dozens of apps that, altogether, have been downloaded over 12 million times.

We’re looking for an app developer for a mid-term collaboration on one of our current projects, and someone who will strengthen our team. Prior experience developing mobile apps (hybrid or native) is desirable. You should also be autonomous, curious, and eager to learn new things.

You’ll be free to work from wherever you want with very few schedule requirements. You’ll also have the opportunity to come work with our team whenever you want in our modern offices in Lyon (France’s 2nd largest city, international tech hub, and gastronomy capital of the world). Come for a visit, or stay to work and discover the city.

You will work independently on the project but your manager and team will always be around for support and guidance.

International team (14+ nationalities represented).

English is a must: everything is written in English and our team meetings are also conducted in English. However, you don’t need to be perfectly fluent.
Plus you’ll have access to a great app that you can use to improve your language skills 😉

Who are we?

For the past 12 years, MosaLingua has been making extremely efficient language-learning mobile apps and online courses. We are a small, cosmopolitan team made up of travel and language enthusiasts.

We are located in France and around the world. You’ll be working with native app developers, web developers, a product manager, and a complete technical support team.

Everyone works independently and, most importantly, we enjoy a flat hierarchy: every great initiative is considered, discussed, and implemented.

As a software engineer at MosaLingua, you’ll help architect and build high-quality mobile and web applications that impact the way millions of people learn online. Join our team of seasoned pros for autonomy, ownership over projects, and plenty of challenges to keep you engaged and growing.

 

What we need

We’re looking for an experienced Full Stack JavaScript Developer to join our team
* You have ideally already developed mobile apps, hybrid or native (not a hard requirement)
* You are used to and enjoy working remotely
* You have excellent written communication skills (we have a minimal number of video meetings)
* You are curious and not afraid to dive into existing code
* You are autonomous but not afraid to ask questions
* You know how to test software on different levels
* You are an independent self-starter who loves to solve problems
* If you also speak French, Italian or Spanish, or are learning a language, it’s a plus, but not required
* You are available full-time during the training period, and later part-time

 

 

Technologies

The app you will start working on is made using web technologies: HTML5/JavaScript with Cordova/Phonegap, Backbone.js, RequireJS, Gulp, Sass, Jasmine, Nightwatch, etc.,
Server-side: some Python, Bash scripts, and several REST APIs with PostgreSQL hosted on Heroku and AWS.

We have continuous integration with Jenkins with some testing (unit and e2e).

 

 

Your responsibilities

At the beginning, you will mainly work to maintain one of our existing apps, which teaches language via flashcards (Cordova, HTML/JS app). The app is mature and working well and we plan to add new features while refactoring the code and fixing bugs.

Then you will help the existing team to create a new app from scratch, and help it evolve and grow taking user feedback into account.
