Role

Who you are

Intuition for well designed software and beautiful, usable interfaces

Ability to ruthlessly prioritise in a chaotic and ambiguous environment
Grit to thrive in a small team with loads of autonomy

What the job involves

Front End engineers are responsible for taking a beautiful design from the product team, filling in gaps with their own intuitions, and bringing it to life. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about improving user experience and performance of the website, product flows, main product, map maker, CMS and everything else
Work with PMs, designers and engineers to decide what to build, scope and then build it
Improve product flows and main product experience
Build/improve the avatar creator and map making tool
Write maintainable, clear, well-architected code, tests, and documentation
Participate in code and design reviews to ensure quality and good architecture

Our take

Remote working is convenient, but video conferencing lacks some of the spontaneity and feeling of physical meetings. Cosmos Video's virtual space allows team members to see each other's faces and communicate in real-time, but unlike competitors such as Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams, users get their own customisable avatars in the virtual HQ. They can move around to sit next to their colleagues and work, discuss projects in meeting rooms or simply hang out.

So far, the startup has over 10,000 daily users from hundreds of teams around the world, including those from early-stage startups, scale-ups and a few big companies such as Revolut, Citymapper and monday.com.

Cosmos is working on Windows and Mac apps of the platform as well as custom interactions to launch productivity tools. It is also increasing other features, such as more multiplayer games on the game table, to make the platform as organic as possible for remote teams.
