What the job involves

  • Full-time (36-40 hours per week)
  • We are looking for an experienced, remote Front-End Engineer (VueJS and NodeJS) with a good eye for design that can join the talented Engineering team to help build out Node-RED Dashboard 2.0
  • Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 is an open-source collection of widgets (e.g. buttons, charts, forms), for Node-RED, that enable users to build user interfaces and data visualisations for their full-stack applications.
  • This is a diverse role, and will see you involved in the full technology stack as well as actively engaging with the Node-RED community, writing documentation, managing the project via our public GitHub repositories and writing supporting articles and content to help the community learn and use Dashboard.

Our take

FlowFuse, formerly FlowForge, was founded by Nick O'Leary and ZJ van de Weg using Node-RED software to create a platform for low-code development. Node-RED primarily allows Internet of Things (IoT) developers to swiftly build applications while addressing all of their peripheral devices and tasks at the same time. A key challenge facing Node-RED users is the time and resources needed to produce projects beyond small-scale prototypes.

FlowFuse seeks to remedy this issue by providing a service platform to help Node-RED projects run at scale. FlowFuse enables low-code developers’ swift integration of their projects with a UI that allows users to manage everything from a single pane. Other services FlowFuse provides are hosting, audit logging, security, and role-based access control.

Using low-code tool Node-RED affords FlowFuse a unique place in the industry. As many of the start-up’s more established competitors provide tools for manual backend development, Node-RED may have an edge when it comes to user accessibility. A challenge FlowFuse might face will be handling more specialized coding requirements that a pre-packaged and simplified low-code environment may struggle with.
