What You'll Do
At Avalara, we don't just work on projects; we embark on journeys that redefine industries and push the boundaries of what's possible. In our latest venture, we're not just building an integration platform; we're crafting a canvas for creativity, a space where connections come to life in ways you've never imagined. This is our ambitious endeavour into the world of integration with a spotlight on Canvas UI, a powerful DSL, and a cutting-edge workflow orchestration.
- Canvas of Connectivity: Imagine building integrations by simply dragging, dropping, and connecting elements on a visual canvas. It is an effort to design the canvas that enables users coding and testing their integrations seamlessly within a browser, with real-time collaboration features that break down the barriers of traditional development environments.
- DSL for Unparalleled Customization: This is an opportunity to build our Domain-Specific Language (DSL), that empowers to define and refine integrations with precision. Your creativity knows no bounds as you shape the language to fit the unique needs of our business processes.
- Unleashing Automation: It isn't just about connecting applications; it's about automating workflows and processes to empower businesses to do more with less. Picture a world where mundane tasks are handled seamlessly, allowing teams to focus on what truly matters.
- Collaborative Innovation: Collaborate with like-minded professionals, share your insights, and contribute to the evolution of integration. Your ideas don't just matter; they shape the future of connectivity.
- Learning Never Stops: It isn't just about delivering a project; it's a continuous learning experience. As part of this journey, you'll have access to cutting-edge technologies, mentorship programs, and professional development opportunities that will propel your career to new heights.
Your Role in Shaping the Canvas
As a key contributor your role will be pivotal. You'll be at the forefront of designing the canvas UI, shaping the DSL, and refining the workflow orchestration. Your creativity and passion for technology will be the driving force behind an integration revolution.
