YOUR IMPACT AT UMH

As a Frontend/ Fullstack Developer (junior to mid-level) at UMH, you will actively contribute to both our Open Source core and its enterprise-grade, closed-source add-ons.

• Dive deep into our architecture using Svelte and TypeScript/JavaScript for frontend development, and optionally Go for backend services.
• Your specific responsibility includes retrieving data from our infrastructure via the Management Companion (an agent on every Kubernetes cluster) and presenting this data in the frontend, ensuring a consistent user journey for intuitive interaction.
• Ensure that the product experience is tested on its ‘happy path’ using various testing approaches, from unit testing with Vitest to integration and end-to-end (E2E) testing with Cypress.
• Get a taste of different fields of the product: from traditional frontend to backend, Kubernetes, data streaming, CI/CD, as well as UI/UX with Figma and Excalidraw.

YOUR PROFILE

• Commitment to continuous improvement.
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
• Having designed UI/UX is of advantage

About us

Bridging the computer and factory worlds, we empower engineers with best in class IT and OT tools. Factories worldwide produce millions of data points per second, but managing this data, especially in manufacturing, is complex due to challenges like navigating demilitarized zones, poor internet connections, controlling real-world operations, and requiring non-IT expert handling.

We have been bootstrapped since the founding a couple years ago, so we were able to grow naturally because of our customers buying the product. A couple weeks ago, we decided to further fuel that growing and decided to take in the German investor Freigeist / Frank Thelen.
