Company Description

Welcome to GoStride Ventures. We are your partners in innovation and entrepreneurship. Our mission is to unlock opportunities, fuel ventures, and empower success. We focus on growth, innovation, and strategic partnerships to build scalable, tech-driven solutions. Join us as we shape the future together.

Role Description

We are looking for a Software Engineer with outstanding front-end build skills to develop, ship, and maintain web and mobile applications in a remote, full-time capacity. This is a hands-on role for a builder who takes finished designs and requirements and turns them into fast, reliable, production-ready code.

You will build responsive, accessible interfaces, implement smooth and performant animation, develop and deploy mobile applications, and connect everything to secure back-end services and APIs. You will work closely with product owners, designers, and other engineers, and you will be judged on what you have shipped and on your ability to deliver a feature end to end.

Key Responsibilities

• Build responsive, accessible, and high-performance user-facing interfaces across web and mobile from supplied designs and specifications.
• Develop clean, reusable, well-tested front-end components and maintain a consistent component library.
• Implement polished, performant user-facing animation and interactions.
• Develop, configure, and deploy mobile applications, and integrate them with back-end services.
• Build real-time and messaging-style interfaces, including chat widgets and WhatsApp and messaging-platform integrations.
• Integrate front-end applications with RESTful APIs, handling state management, authentication flows, and error handling.
• Contribute to server-side logic and database integration that is secure, scalable, and performant.
• Optimise front-end performance, including load times, rendering, and cross-browser and cross-device compatibility.
• Collaborate with product owners, designers, and engineers to clarify requirements and deliver high-quality features.
• Review code, improve existing systems, troubleshoot issues, and participate in CI/CD workflows.
• Maintain clean, well-documented code and continuously optimise the technology stack.

Required Qualifications

• Expert-level front-end engineering skills, including HTML, JavaScript (or TypeScript), and CSS, for building responsive, accessible interfaces.
• Strong experience with a modern front-end framework (for example React, Vue, or Angular) and component-based architecture.
• Demonstrable experience implementing polished, performant user-facing animation.
• Demonstrable experience developing and shipping mobile applications (for example with React Native, Flutter, or native tooling).
• Experience integrating front-end applications with RESTful APIs and back-end services.
• Experience with messaging-platform integrations such as WhatsApp.
• Working back-end capability, including server-side frameworks and database integration.
• Familiarity with version control (for example Git), testing practices, and modern workflows such as CI/CD.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative team environment.

Core Competencies

• Front-end engineering: responsive, accessible, and high-performance builds.
• Component-driven development and clean, maintainable code.
• Animation and interaction implementation.
• Mobile application development and deployment.
• Real-time and messaging-platform interfaces and integrations.
• RESTful API integration and working back-end knowledge.
• Testing, documentation, and CI/CD.

Strong Signals

• A portfolio or links to live products you have built and shipped.
• Production interfaces, animations, or interactive experiences that show strong build quality and attention to detail.
• Published mobile applications you have built.
• Experience with web accessibility standards (for example WCAG) and performance optimisation.
• Experience with cloud platforms (for example AWS, Azure, or GCP) and security best practices.
