Company mission
To help manufacturers improve efficiency and customer satisfaction using real-time operational data.
Role
Who you are
- Have a strong appetite for the unfamiliar; that includes technical content as well as solving problems our customers face
- Believe that being helpful and humble are just as important as technical know-how
- Can teach the things you know well, and acknowledge what you can learn from others
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Expertise in front end technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (React preferred)
- Experience with front end build tools and development pipelines (Webpack, Vite. etc.)
- Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and best practices
- Some familiarity with back end technologies and frameworks (Python preferred)
Desirable
- 5+ years of professional engineering experience with a front-end focus
- Previous experience owning / leading front end development for an application
- Knowledge of DevOps tooling and practices (CI/CD, Monitoring)
- Interest in UI design / visual design
What the job involves
- We’re growing our engineering team and we’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to take ownership of our front end development, tooling, and developer experience
- While some full-stack work will be expected, your primary focus will be on enhancing the user interface and overall experience of our platform
- Working as a Senior Front End Engineer at Amper means working in a wide variety of contexts. Our front ends are largely built with React, alongside some third-party tools. We build for both web and mobile, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms
- You will also work on improving our development tooling and processes to enhance productivity and maintain high-quality standards
- Being an engineer at Amper also means being a “product person.” Our engineers don’t just move tickets from pile A to pile B. Led by a Product Owner, you'll help us work through new ideas and figure out the best way to implement them
Our take
Global supply chain constraints have only accentuated the pressure on manufacturing shop floor managers to avoid every possible minute of downtime. That pressure to avoid losing money has driven demand for real-time analytics of manufacturing machinery, which Amper hopes to help with.
Amper’s IoT technology enables a self-installed industrial monitoring solution for manufacturing managers. The company prioritizes ease-of-use for its customers, allowing them to set up their devices in minutes and monitor their machines from an intuitive dashboard. The vision for the startup is to go beyond the monitoring of relatively basic machinery metrics and build out a holistic IoT-based ‘FactoryOS’.
The challenge for the startup will be competing in a crowded IoT market. Having said that, its proven ability to quickly adjust its strategy has helped it gain solid funding. The fact that Amper's technology shifts to fit the real needs of its customers will surely stand it in good stead as it expands its horizons.
