About the Role

We are looking for a talented Fullstack Web Engineer to join our team in Porto, Portugal. You will be working on web projects using JavaScript, TypeScript, and the Deno runtime. Our mission is to make video editing professionals' daily lives easier by developing software that simplifies their workflow.

About Me

I'm Antoine, an engineer, entrepreneur, and artist. I started my first solo software AfterCodecs in 2017 and have been running Autokroma.com since then. I'm responsible for everything at my company, from the first line of code down to every interaction with the final user. I've been traveling as a digital nomad for 8 years, working remotely while visiting the world, doing many sports and digital hobbies.

I'm looking for new software developers to help me improve Autokroma software. Recently I decided to stop hiring developers remotely. With a new office downtown Porto, my current goal is to create a good team, and have it, me, and Autokroma grow all together.

About Autokroma

Our mission is to make video editing professionals' daily lives easier. We have developed 5 plugins for Adobe After Effects / Premiere Pro, used by thousands of professionals worldwide.

We specialize in Adobe, encoding/decoding codecs, and are always looking for new opportunities in video editing software and visual effects. You can find more info about our current plugins on our website: Autokroma.

About You for the Job

• You know how to code in JavaScript, debug code, troubleshoot issues, and have worked on web projects on both front end and back end matters.
• You have an excellent memory and great English writing level, and you can also speak oral English.
• You're ready to work hard, learn every day, and master new tools, procedures, programming tips, and methods for organizing your work.
• You are self-conscious about how your mind works in the past and can iterate new ideas to change how you work.
• You live around Porto to be able to come to the office at least three days per week. You will be able to work fully remotely for longer periods of time if everything goes correctly in our work together.

The Work to be Done

I will train you in the areas where you need help or the domains that interest you, but I expect you to learn everything I'm teaching you fast so that we can get things done and move on to more interesting projects/tasks. Your diplomas don't matter as much as being compatible to work together, same for X years of experience in technology Y that we'll stop using next year.

We do video editing software in C / C++ / JavaScript on Windows and macOS. Our website is made with JavaScript, TypeScript, and the Deno runtime. Our code is not difficult per se, we don't use that much advanced features (or they are already coded and you can reuse them). It's the software development environment that is complicated, with lots of GUI to navigate, edge cases to take into account, OS / platforms differences, weird behaviors to study, black box software to interact with such as Adobe software, undocumented requirements, and code to be cleaned without breaking legacy features. Nothing that a clear mind cannot navigate effectively, if taken seriously. Web work includes our website but also panels for video editing software that uses web technologies through CEP Chromium.

Apply Right Now

Let's have a chat in Porto (NOT ONLINE). My first interview step is to visit me at our office for a quick 20-minute chat so we can get to know each other. After this, I will contact you again for future steps. I'm downtown Porto, 5 minutes by foot from Trindade station in Porto downtown. You will get the address after booking a slot. If you have trouble with this calendar widget, you can also schedule directly on Cal.com ↗

⚠️ Important: Applying on LinkedIn is NOT enough! You must book a physical meeting at our office to continue the process.
