Self Taught Web Developer information

What is a self taught web developer?

A Self-Taught Web Developer is someone who has learned web development skills independently, rather than through formal education. They often gain knowledge through online courses, tutorials, coding bootcamps, and hands-on projects. These developers work on building and maintaining websites or web applications using programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various frameworks. Many self-taught developers work as freelancers, in startups, or secure positions at companies based on their portfolio and skills rather than traditional degrees.

What does a self taught web developer do?

As a Self Taught Web Developer, your day-to-day responsibilities often include developing new website features, fixing bugs, optimizing site performance, and maintaining existing codebases. You may also collaborate closely with designers, project managers, and other developers to turn project requirements into functional digital experiences. Many self-taught professionals contribute to both front-end and back-end development, participate in code reviews, and keep up with new technologies through online research. The dynamic nature of the web means you'll regularly use problem-solving skills and adapt to new tasks, making each day varied and engaging.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a self taught web developer?

To thrive as a Self Taught Web Developer, you need strong proficiency in front-end and/or back-end coding languages (such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks), a solid understanding of web design principles, and the ability to build and maintain websites. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, popular development tools, and completion of online courses or personal projects often substitute for formal certifications in this field. Excellent problem-solving skills, self-motivation, and clear communication are valuable soft skills that set candidates apart. These abilities are crucial to independently learn new technologies, effectively collaborate with others, and deliver functional, user-friendly web solutions.

Job description

ABOUT US:



We're a talented team of product managers, digital marketers, developers, and product designers building Canada's leading financial product comparison platform, Ratehub.ca (think Expedia, but for financial products). We compare mortgage rates, credit card rewards, deposit returns and insurance quotes.



We love helping Canadians save money by empowering them with the tools to make smart financial decisions. We believe in financial transparency, product innovation, entrepreneurship, and community. That's our modus operandi.



THE ROLE:



We are looking for a passionate web developer to join the Ratehub teamwho will play a central role in the keeping Ratehub's web interfaces up-to-date and looking beautiful. The ideal candidate will work closely with skilled product owners, UI/UX designers and other engineers to build applicationsthat exceed customers expectations and improve the way they find financial products.



  • Creating elegant and responsive web interfaces that work across a range of browsers and devices using HTML5, CSS3, ES6, React, and Webpack

  • Maintaining and extending our blog and content management systems

  • Building integration points between systems using web services and leveraging external web services to provide functionality

  • Working with support, marketing, business and other team members to identify product and process improvements, suggest implementation options, trade-off alternatives, and make engineering decisions



As a growing, late-stage startup, we look for self-starters who thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment - which means wearing many hats, being able to change direction quickly, and showing an eagerness to learn new technologies as the need arises. And most importantly - we look for people who can prioritize, multitask, and deliver - because it's a lot more fun to get things done.



Ratehub offers a friendly, innovative and collaborative work environment and our engineering team is based in downtown Kingston, ON. Our talented team drives our success, and we support each individual in fulfilling his or her potential.



CULTURE FIT:



  • High performer: You're not a 9-to-5er but a project completer

  • Passionate: You inspire others with your thirst for excellence

  • Resourceful: You don't have all the answers, but you know how to get them

  • Meticulous: You're borderline obsessive about quality of work and ensuring users get the best possible experience



YOUR QUALIFICATIONS:



  • 2+ years experience building web and mobile-optimized websites

  • Proficiency with HTML and CSS, and experience implementing complex layouts with a high degree of fidelity to designs; experience with SASS

  • A high degree of comfort with JavaScript; experience with a modern JS application framework (React/Flux, Ember, Angular, etc.) a strong plus

  • Knowledge of content management systems (CMS) and experience customizing/extending CMSes to provide web applications

  • Experience with source version control; Git strongly preferred

  • Familiarity with Linux, MacOS or another Unix-like operating system; feeling at home in the terminal

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills



JOB PERKS:



  • Competitive salary: Our people are our most important asset

  • Medical & dental coverage: Health is wealth

  • Continuing education: Conference and learning budget

  • Casual dress code: If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for us
