An Opportunity to Innovate
ATB Ventures currently has an exciting opportunity for both a Senior Mobile Software Engineer and a Senior Front-end Software Engineer to join our team on a full-time basis.
As our new Senior Mobile Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for building mobile applications and their underlying SDKs that can be reused in other applications. This role will require you to always be conscious of the total cost of development so that you can weigh the benefit of using technologies that allow cross-platform deployment from a single codebase versus native OS solutions.
As our new Senior Front-end Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for the translation of the UI/UX design wireframes to actual code in order to produce the visual elements of the applications. This role will see you working with the UI/UX designer as you bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation by taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works.
Some of your key responsibilities in these roles will include:
- Translating UI/UX designs into working prototypes and products that delight customers.
- Working independently and as a team member to research and develop products.
- Working with the innovation team to develop end-to-end features across cloud, mobile, and web infrastructures.
- Continually analyzing code for anti-patterns while also coaching the engineering team in order to improve upon fundamental coding principles and patterns.
- Participating in code reviews, pair programming, and other activities in order to promote mastery of software engineering practices.
- Working with the team to explore new ideas through experimentation, prototypes, and fast feedback.
- Focusing on open standards and open source before seeking a proprietary solution to a problem.
- Living, breathing and working in the Cloud.
- Utilizing Scrum and other Agile methodologies to complete tasks and accomplish workflows.
- Participating as an Agile coach to lead team activities.
More About You
In order to qualify for this role, you will need a Graduate Degree in Engineering, Science, or a related field along with at least 4 years of experience in architecting and developing scalable, responsive front-end/UI frameworks for platforms.

- A demonstratable portfolio of released applications on the Apple Appstore or the Android market.
- Proficiency with Java, Swift, Objective-C, Cocoa Touch, Xamarin, Reach Native, or other related technologies.
- Strong knowledge of architectural patterns - MVP, MVC, MVVM, and Clean Architecture as well as the ability to choose the best solution for applications.
- Extensive knowledge about mobile app development from coding, unit testing, and automated build pipelines, to releasing to an App store.
As our new Senior Front-end Software Engineer you'll also join us with:
- Experience ensuring the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs.
- Experience translating UI/UX designs into working prototypes and products.
- Extensive knowledge with HTML, CSS (and CSS preprocessor), Javascript, Node.js, React, Webpack, Babel, and other leading-edge web technologies.
- Extensive knowledge of SEO.
- Strong knowledge of architectural patterns - MVP, MVC, MVVM, and Clean Architecture as well as the ability to choose the best solution for the applications.
As our ideal candidate for either of these roles, you'll join us with a robust aptitude for strategic and systems thinking. You'll be a strong team player capable of working collaboratively to develop solutions while still maintaining an understanding of customer needs. Your excellent interpersonal skills will combine with your technical expertise allowing you to mentor the greater engineering team and lead by example. Your creativity and passion for the projects you work on will ensure you foster an environment within which employees are motivated and continuously do their best. You'll also join us with a wealth of technical knowledge and experience that spans the below areas:
