Software Developer, Payments (UI / Interaction Focus)

Software Developer, Payments (UI / Interaction Focus) atVenu - Calgary, AB (or Remote) - Full-Time Reports To: Development Manager, Payments About the Job: atVenu is seeking an Intermediate React Native Developer to help us level-up the future of UI / UX interactions on the Payments team.

In this dynamic role, you’ll collaborate closely with product and design teams, along with other developers to build new customer-driven features used at some of the world’s most popular touring acts, festivals, and sporting events like Coachella, Bottlerock, Superbowl, Pokemon, PGA Championships etc.

We’re looking for a self-motivated, curious developer who thrives in a high-trust, collaborative environment, and takes pride in delivering thoughtful, high-quality interfaces that extend all the way down to the fan that engages with our product.

Our Tech Stack: Front End: React Native (Expo), React, JavaScript, TypeScript Backend: Ruby, Rails, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, CouchDB Platforms: AWS, Stripe (Connect & Terminal) Tools: GitHub, Sidekiq, Docker What You’ll Do: Work on the interaction layer of the atVenu Register experience - our purpose-built point-of-sale for the live event industry, that targets iOS, Android, and custom smart-terminal hardware.

Key feature areas include interfacing with peripherals (credit card / rfid readers, receipt printing, barcode scanning, etc), and working with the primary payment flows around these areas.

Work with Product and Design teams to play a key role in evolving our front-end project architecture in this space, being a leader in establishing new UI-focused development guidelines and sharing that knowledge and principles across the rest of the payments team.

Lead the strategy for multiple device form factor considerations, optimizing application performance across a broad range of devices used by our customers and fans (including devices with lower-end hardware specs).

Grow to become a technical subject-matter expert (of a specific feature area); you’ll have the opportunity to become the internal go-to expert in these area(s).

The usual dev-activities you’d come to expect like: guiding ongoing maintenance, team technical principles, documentation, managing tech debt, code reviews, component / integration testing … the list goes on … What You’ll Bring: 3+ years of solid experience with React Native / Expo apps in a production context — you know the platform's constraints and quirks, not only the happy paths.

Strong JavaScript fundamentals, with matching in-depth knowledge of modern React architecture (including hooks, state management, async actions).

A keen eye for design and focus on the overall user experience when implementing features (In our world: this means you consider all that might interact with the screen: The seller running a busy stand, to the fan who just wants to tap and go.

You sweat the details that others might miss).

Highly creative in thinking through real life experiences that account for harsh front-line environment scenarios common in our space (flakey internet, being in direct sunlight, near a pizza oven, sloppy conditions by a bar, etc).

A proven track record in working with product and design teams to break down concepts or mocks into reusable, production-ready interfaces.

A reasonable level of obsession in wanting to solve problems, when you come across them (with a call-a-friend mentality).

A bias toward asynchronous communication to include our peers in different timezones.

Nice to Have: Experience with mobile native-layer code (Swift / Kotlin experience a bonus) Global experience working with products that require country-specific customization.

Familiarity or experience with modelling complex interaction logic (via state machines or similar).

Previous experience in the hospitality, live / transient events space, and/or payments domain.

Exposure to GraphQL and Ruby on Rails We encourage you to apply, even if you don't ‘hit all the right notes’ 🎶.
