Frontend Developer

Salary Competitive

At Byrd we daily hunt for unicorns 🦄 in Asana and like to Slack! Our NodeJS engine is powering our app aboard the Express train 🚄 and we love to bower Bootstrap so we can gulp the SASS to customize and extend it! Our JSON based database is currently on fire 🔥, but our master Heroku 🐼🌧 keeps it cool, so it’s all good. We like doing things the Angular way whenever possible and we are currently looking for a talented and passionate frontend developer who feels the same!


Byrd is a fully-funded web- and mobile platform (Web & iOS launched, Android on its way) where media can crowdsource photo and video assignments and trigger-happy photographers can make some money. We’ve been at it full-time for a few months and we’re proud to say we’ve landed the largest media companies in Denmark so far. We’ve exceeded growth expectations but to follow that hockey stick 🏒 and to take over the world 🌎 , we’ll need reinforcements.

We need help building and bringing our frontend web application to the next level. 🥇✨  We need a frontend developer who can creatively translate wireframes and designer mockups into beautiful, interactive and stable frontend code. You’d be working closely with Christian, CTO of Byrd, Mikkel, our journalist and a pretty decent house barista, Morten our Business Developer and king sandwich maker, Jakob iOS-developer and metalhead and Sofie, our amazing Creative Content and Design Intern.

Qualifications:

✅  You must be able to demonstrate your ability to deliver results in a fast-paced environment as a self-starter and quick learner

✅   You have great experience with JavaScript and SPA framework AngularJS (Firebase XP 👍  -  Angularfire XP 👍👍 )

✅   You have worked with designers and product managers in an agile environment

✅   Experience with server-side languages like NodeJS is a plus

✅   Solid communications skills in English

✅   Entrepreneurial mindset

We’re very ambitious and goal-oriented but we always keep the spirit high. You’ll be part of this journey from the beginning and have a huge impact on an exciting and promising startup with international aspirations. We’ll make sure you’re fed. We provide a 27’ iMac workstation with all the applications necessary. The desk is adjustable, the chair is comfortable and the coffee is black enough to get praise from Agent Cooper himself. The pay is good, yet junior-level. You’ll be working in a challenging and ever-changing environment, which is physically placed in a beautiful co-working space in inner Østerbro, Copenhagen.

If you’re intrigued, interested or indecisive please reach out.
