Company mission
To transform the creation, manipulation, and presentation of the full spectrum of business diagrams - making diagramming easy, quick, and visually impactful.
Role
Who you are
- You're the go-to person when it comes to Vue.js (preferred), React.js, or Angular
- You're a TypeScript guru and a JavaScript (ES6+) maestro
- You've got a creative edge with Tailwind CSS
- You use Vuex or the Composition API to craft engaging, interactive web experiences
- You know your way around blending front and backend with RESTful APIs
- You are proficient with Git, keeping projects flowing smoothly
- You have excellent problem-solving skills, and you are detail-oriented
Desirable
- You have experience with visualisation technologies like syncfusion, D3js, GoJS, JointJS, mxGraph or Cytoscape.js, to give our data presentations that extra punch
- You're aware of the latest testing frameworks like Playwright, to make sure our applications run flawlessly
- You are familiar with web performance optimisation, to ensure our applications are as fast as they are functional
- You understand CSS frameworks and preprocessors (SASS, LESS), to take our styling capabilities to new heights and enrich our design aesthetic
What the job involves
- We're looking for senior-level frontend developers to join our dynamic team
- Engage in a role which leads to exceptional user experiences, collaborate closely with our design, product and test teams and work in empowered trusted product teams which set their own processes, technology stacks and sub-cultures
- Your efforts will be crucial in our fast-paced, scaling environment and to our growth
- As we extend our customer base across various geographies and industry verticals, we will encounter new challenges and the need for innovative features
- This opportunity is more than just writing elegant code; it's a chance to join a vibrant, intense team at the forefront of technological innovation for a sector that’s been seriously underserved so far
- Ake our web apps to the next level with your killer skills in Vue.js (preferred), React.js, or Angular, as well as TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. We’re experimenting meaningfully in applications of AI for making our user experiences even more efficient, so an interest in that area wouldn’t go amiss
- Team up with our product team to create websites that are not just functional but are downright gorgeous
- Push our applications to run smoother, faster, and scale bigger than ever before
- Turn those visually impressive designs into living, breathing digital experiences that users love
- Connect the dots between RESTful APIs and backend services for a seamless user journey
- Lead the way with code that’s both clean and sustainable, raising the bar for what good coding looks like
- Dive into code reviews that aren’t just about catching bugs, but about learning, sharing, and making us all better developers
- Always be on the lookout for new tech trends and innovations to bring into our projects
- Mentor more junior members of the team to help them develop their software engineering skills and confidence
Our take
In the landscape of business operations, the creation and communication of intricate diagrams pose a significant challenge. Traditional tools often fall short in terms of speed and aesthetics, making it time-consuming to produce visually impactful representations of deals, business flows, corporate structures, and more. Businesses face the need for a solution that not only accelerates the diagramming process but also enhances the visual appeal and clarity of these representations to align with modern standards of communication.
Enter Jigsaw, a solution addressing the shortcomings of traditional diagramming tools. Jigsaw is revamping the creation, manipulation, and presentation of business diagrams, offering an experience characterised by speed, aesthetics, and data accessibility. With the ability to build diagrams up to 40 times faster than conventional products, Jigsaw enables users to design complex graphics, turning them into live presentations or collaboration tools.
Moreover, Jigsaw serves as a centralised hub for all diagram-related information, allowing users to easily track, search, and modify data points associated with their diagrams, providing a solution to the challenges posed by traditional diagramming tools.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Jigsaw
Catherine Alani (Chief People Officer)
- We recognise that a diverse team encourages the right conversations and challenges how our products work and who they work for. By creating an inclusive culture where people from different backgrounds and experiences can thrive, we are all better equipped to design and deliver solutions that meet the needs of a wider range of users.
- We want our hiring processes to be fair, transparent and accessible to the widest range of people. We never want people to be put off applying because they don't meet 100% of the listed criteria, and we never want someone to be deterred if they might need us to make a small change to the process so they can showcase their capabilities to the fullest.
- We appreciate that asking for accommodations during the interview process is daunting, and requires vulnerability when you don't know us yet. You do not need to tell us why you are requesting accommodations. Please email your recruiter to discuss and arrange accommodations. For example, this could be anything from audio transcription compatible video conferencing to an interview time that fits around childcare.
