Do you want to develop software that helps scientists, doctors, historians, and all other kinds of researchers discover breakthroughs? Join our small, fully-remote software development team to build software that connects scholars of all disciplines with the peer-reviewed journal articles they need to advance their research.

Since our remote-first company's founding in 2011, Third Iron has created the industry-leading software services such as

In a refreshing change from advertising-dependent tech companies or those who sell user data, we instead have a business-to-business model. We sell our subscription-based services to libraries that may be used by anyone affiliated with them. We do not sell user data. Our focus is on building the best software to enable research that changes the world.

Your Role

As a Senior Front-End Software Engineer, you will help with all aspects of the development lifecycle: initial technical approaches, coding the automated tests and implementation, and reviewing changes by your experienced teammates. Our product owner has a deep understanding of our external customers needs and wants, which helps ensure what we build has maximum positive impact to our users.

Our remote-first company has been building software for over 11 years fully distributed, so you’ll be joining a team with plenty of experience putting into practice what works well remotely (and avoiding what doesn’t!). We try to build our products with an eye on the long term, since when we build new features or products, we typically regularly maintain them years into the future.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to our Third Iron product suite, which includes:
- a browser extension that uses React
- third-party JS Angular integrations into library-centric web apps
Help build prototype UIs for initial approaches across our product suite
Increase your experience and knowledge of JS, continuous integration, and automated testing. Learn about all the tools we use at our
Collaborate with our full-stack devs, and if you have an interest in some back-end work, you could dabble in that as well

What We’re Looking For

A strong interest in, and experience with, JavaScript front-end frameworks
Strong communication skills – since we are a remote team, clear, timely, and frequent communication is essential
Experience writing automated tests alongside your code – we rely on numerous automated tests to help avoid regressions, both at the acceptance and unit level
Experience with source control, ideally git
Self-motivation and comfort working independently, which we've found is important for remote working
Interest in lifelong learning, including learning new technologies. We embrace the tools and techniques that help us build great software which lets us sleep soundly at night, with high confidence that our users are having a delightful experience and our servers are not catching fire
People with U.S. work authorizations. (We are looking for a full-time developer to join our team, so please, no software development firms looking to hire out contractors - we're interested in talking directly to software developers. Also, if anyone claims to be an external agency representing us, that's false - you talk directly to Third Iron employees when you apply, we do not work directly with any recruiters)

Working at Third Iron

Third Iron is a small company of 25 employees and our growth and success have been fueled by the passionate, curious people who work here. We value input and feedback while looking to minimize the interruptions of meetings, report writing, and internal emails.

Understanding that work is just part of your life, Third Iron also provides benefits including health, dental, long-term disability, paid time-off, home-office stipend, and more. It's why most employees who work at Third Iron spend many years of their careers here. You could, too!

Apply

To apply, simply fill out the job application, and please include anything that helps demonstrate how you are an effective software developer teammate. Examples include your GitHub, Bitbucket, or StackOverflow profile, or some sample code, articles, or presentations you’ve created, or even just reporting bugs on open source projects. We're looking for something to help us learn how you contribute to a team.
