Company mission
To inspire and unlock creativity with liberating technology.
Role
Who you are
- We hire only passionate and creative people with a proven and unquestionable ability to execute
- When you work at Ceros, you check your ego at the door, and you aren’t afraid to be honest, especially to yourself
- Able to write maintainable code (probably goes without saying)
- Able to plan and lead high-complexity stories and epics
- Able to write unit, functional and e2e tests
- Able to carry out and be on the receiving end of intense code review sessions from your peers who hold your work (and their own) at the highest of standards
What the job involves
- Designing and building the Ceros platform is not an easy task. We require the best-of-the-best Software Engineers, Designers, and QA testers, ready to bring the functionality of desktop software to the web, often pushing web browsers to the limits of what’s currently possible
- Our codebase is 95% TypeScript/JavaScript and the Ceros Studio product consists of multiple single-page applications with a client-heavy focus
- We use libraries like React, Webpack, jQuery, and Backbone. The Ceros Studio is architected around the HTML5 Canvas element
- We’re not language zealots. We believe in using the right tool for the job, and our current server-side infrastructure runs Node.js, PHP, Redis, AWS Aurora, Docker and Jenkins within the AWS cloud
- As part of the Ceros product team, you’ll be working with a small, cross-functional group of the most talented people you’ve ever worked with
- Reviewing story plans and offering insights on impacts to other parts of the application
- Having your day ruined by functional QA testers who find every bug you write
- Agonizing over the user experience until even a trained monkey could use the product
- Participating as a primary on-call resource for service disruptions
- Suggesting new technologies and techniques to improve engineer productivity
- Collaborating with and mentoring your peers on security best practices
- And finally, deploying your code to production and seeing the customer create something amazing and beautiful with it
Our take
Writing code to create digital content often comes with complications and expense. Ceros was created to eliminate these issues, by providing customers with a no-code design platform.
It allows marketing and design teams to create animated content on a collaborative canvas, without having to rely on developers. As such, the Ceros platform has proved a hit with enterprise customers including United Airlines, Condé Nast, J.P. Morgan Chase, Fitbit, Bloomberg, and Mashable.
Competition in the MarTech market may be fierce, with rivals including Ion and Uberflip, but Ceros sets itself apart as a platform that allows customers to produce this kind of content at scale and with fast turnaround times. Its introduction of "Gemma", a creative AI sidekick, bolsters the value of its offering by freeing up users to focus on their own creative vision.
