Mobile Developer II
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Milk Moovement is building a world-class team focused on getting the right milk to the right place at the right time.
Our herd of over 65 employees and growing is driven to provide our clients with the data they need to make critical decisions that impact their operations and ultimately your favorite dairy products.
Who is Milk Moovement you might ask? We are a young VC-backed company with humble roots and massive ambitions to disrupt the dairy supply chain. We think differently, act nimbly, and always leave things better than we found them.
We're adding to our team as we continue significant growth in 2023. Check us out on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn (@milkmoovement), and our home page to learn more or hit “apply” below!
This role is open to remote within Canada
THE ROLE
As part of tracking milk from cow to carton, the Milk Moovement mobile platform is the entry point for the majority of the data the supply chain leverages daily. It is a critical component of the system because the app serves as the initial stage of our data pipeline and replaces pen and paper processes. A great user experience is key to getting the most accurate data into the Milk Moovement platform.
We’re hiring a Mobile Developer to join our existing team and primarily focus on making our driver mobile app as user-friendly and seamless as possible. Here are some examples of things you might do:
• Build intuitive new workflows for drivers and receivers to collect data about milk loads moving through the supply chain
• Introduce improvements such as location-based validation with an eye toward reducing errors and raising overall data integrity
• Work directly with the product team and our end users to understand pain points, devise improvements, and verify that changes had the desired effect
You will be part of a cross-functional team distributed across North America but with offices in Halifax and St. John’s. You should be comfortable coming to our offices if nearby, and not shy on Zoom and Slack if remote.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Milk Moovement seeks to have a diverse, inclusive, team-oriented, and curiosity-driven herd. Our technical team lives to find unique solutions to the challenges inherent to digital supply chains, and we expect you will be excited to do so as well.
You must have 3+ years prior development experience with React Native and Javascript / Typescript. We’re looking for someone that has had the opportunity to take ownership on a React Native mobile app or has worked on large features. Experience with common state management frameworks such as Redux/MobX is also a must. You will no doubt be familiar with the challenges inherent to building an app for both iOS and Android including navigating the submission process for both. We expect you will also be comfortable writing unit and e2e tests for any new features you build. Don’t worry - experience working in the dairy industry is not required! We will teach you all there is to know about the industry beginning with our Dairy 101 course. It is definitely more complicated than you think and that is why we do what we do! Previous experience working with location services and minimizing battery usage is a major plus, but it is not required.
WHAT WE OFFER
🐮 Competitive salaries - we’re constantly reevaluating market trends to ensure we meet or exceed industry standards.
🐮 Equity - Stock option plan on a standard 4 year vesting schedule with a 1 year cliff.
🐮 Unlimited paid vacation and flex time - unlimited vacation can be vague and difficult to track; we strongly encourage everyone to take at least 2 weeks off per year plus public holidays. The rest is up to you.
🐮 Health (mental & physical), dental, & HSA coverage across North America.
🐮 Remote work environment - work from home or from one of our hubs in Halifax and St. John’s.
🐮 Flexible hours - night owl or early riser? No problem.
🐮 Tools - need the latest and great software to perform more efficiently? Ask and you shall receive.
🐮 Quarterly culture events - trivia, robot building, hackathons, etc. We like to keep it fresh and exciting.
