Wenco (a Hitachi Construction Machinery subsidiary)
Santiago
Wenco has offices located in Australia, Canada and Chile. This role is based in Vancouver, Canada or Santiago, Chile.
About the Job
We are building a completely new product, from the ground up with a small 3 person team.
- 1x Front end developer, React. (but also open to Flutter)
- 1x C++ developer for onboard and backend processing
- 1x working manager with 25 years of experience in creating embedded software for mining equipment.
So No legacy code to mender or care for.
The new product will be serving the underground mining market. The product is composed of an embedded component onboard the equipment with an operator UI, with a backend server side for the equipment dispatcher and production planning.
Both systems will be hosted and deployed on Linux.
The team will have freedom of technology selection and we expect the team to be highly autonomous and have high velocity. This is why we are starting with such a small team, even if the company can afford a much larger team. If you are looking for rapid growth and an opportunity to hone your skills, then this is the job for you. The team will grow with time and demonstrated stability & success.
As the only UI developer on the team, you will be able to reach out and leverage the current UX team and have them involved to the level you desire.
We already employ a few React developers, but they are assigned to other product groups, hence you are expected to be proficient in your technology stack, but you can leverage our local community of practice.
At the beginning, you will focus on developing the vehicle onboard Operator UI, then focus more on the server-side dispatcher UI.
The business logic endpoints will be developed by the C++ developer for both the onboard and the back end, but you can leverage Node.js if it helps velocity.
