Here at DotCollective, we believe in doing good eCommerce work - plain and simple.

We’re a technical bunch who are passionate about creating engaging, personalized, and socially connected eCommerce experiences. Since our launch in 2016, we've built hundreds of eCommerce sites for some of the biggest names in the business, including Decjuba, Aje, Incu, Tony Bianco, Scanlan Theodore, Viktoria & Woods + many more, along with large groups such as Brand Collective; Brandbank and Globe.

Well, good news, We’re looking to grow the team! DotCollective is on the lookout for a Senior Full Stack Javascript Engineer to join our newly created Connect Product squad building out cutting-edge unified commerce solutions for our clients. As a Senior Engineer at DotCollective you'll play a key role in designing, building, and maintaining innovative high-performance eCommerce solutions that meet our clients' business needs, exceeding their expectations.

So what’s the role?

In Senior Engineers, we first and foremost look for those with a generative and positive mindset to improve themselves; processes and the overall developer culture. It’s important for a Senior to want to help the team; be reliable; autonomous and have the desire to go above and beyond to solve problems.

Verbal communication is key for this role.. Being able to scope tasks; estimate timings; adhering to said timings and flagging early when any problems arise - asking for help when necessary. Furthermore, communication with non-technical stakeholders such as your Delivery Lead; UX Designers & Management is expected and occasionally you will be asked to enter discussions with clients to solve problems.

To add, written communication in documentation is critical for us. Our Seniors will be required to follow internal & external (clients/partner’s) documentation - from Github through to Slack. On top of this having the skill to document effectively and clearly is also a must have skill.

For this role you will have a high level of proficiency in our tech stack being React, Shopify; Node.JS; Typescript with Firebase being a nice to have. Senior’s should also be able to assist their Technical Lead in architecting a solution and/or helping out with deployments onto AWS/GCP.

So whats the team like?

As a team we really value a learning mindset - being able to understand what you’re best at, where you trip up, and to constantly learn and improve when you do. You question why we do things, making wise decisions despite ambiguity, and taking leadership when needed (even if you’re not a lead). We want you to be thought leaders in our space, smartly separating what must be done well now and what can be improved later. Being a helpful team player is critical, there is no room for a negative attitude where you want to work alone, never communicating and providing help or asking for help.

What are you passionate about?

A reason why DotCollective is able to outperform so many of its competitors is due to the high standard we maintain as engineers. Our Seniors enjoy up-skilling, sharing their new found knowledge to the rest of the business. Our Slack groups are full of our people sharing their thoughts & engaging in healthy debate about technology. Being remote, this is an important way we contribute to our culture.
