Copernica is looking for full-stack developers. In this role, you will build dashboards, create visualizations, and improve the user experience of our main products: Marketing Suite, MailerQ, and SMTPeter.
Technologies
Our front end consists mainly of single-page applications written in JavaScript, HTML, and LESS. These applications are built on a custom library that follows a functional-components approach for widgets and pages. We use OOP for data and structure. We work with modern JavaScript and quickly adopt new web APIs. Data is processed using promises, while user interactions are handled through events. Our front end communicates with our back end—primarily written in PHP—via REST APIs and WebSockets.
Culture
We place great emphasis on writing maintainable code with best practices in mind. Our culture encourages learning new skills and staying up to date with relevant technologies. You will receive extensive feedback from experienced developers to help you grow.
At Copernica, we prefer working smart over working hard. We automate processes wherever possible and design them for maximum efficiency. What does this mean in practice? Our colleagues:
Are honest, direct, and straightforward
Are independent in both thinking and execution
Can both give and receive feedback
Are pragmatic problem solvers
Copernica's open-source libraries
PHP-JS: A bridge between PHP and JavaScript. This library allows JavaScript code to be executed within PHP and enables variable sharing between the two languages.
PHP-CPP: A well-documented C++ library for developing PHP extensions. Extensions built with PHP-CPP are easy to understand and maintain, eliminating the need for deep knowledge of the Zend engine and pointer manipulation.
AMQP-CPP: A C++ library for asynchronous, non-blocking communication with RabbitMQ. It enables processing incoming data from a RabbitMQ server and generating frames to send back.
REACT-CPP: A library for event loops that uses C++ lambda functions to notify you about activity on a file descriptor or a timer. Internally, it wraps the libev library, which is required.
And much more! Check out our Github page for details.
