Software Engineer Frontend

Here's the summary:

• At Mibo we're on a mission to provide groups of people who are remote with the experience of being together.

• We're an experienced team having built products, games and businesses, backed by investors to make our mission reality.

• We love doing great work, leveraging the focus and flexibility that working remote gives us. (For example by moving working hours around to work-out during the day or pick up our kids from school to spend our time as good as possible.)

• We offer a salary in the range of €45 – 70K, a team open to your product ideas & frontend architecture knowledge, plus the option to pick up some game- and backend development if you'd like to.

This is Mibo

At Mibo we build a world where anyone can be together with others in a way that feels free, fun, and authentically social—where you're remote or not. Where gathering remotely feels the same as being on-premise and combines the best of social get-togethers with the best of fun activities. And where we can work freely, with less dependence on office hours, traffic jams, and business trips in airplanes.

We do this by building a metaverse product, without the blah blah and future promises. We're right here, right now, bringing real people in the real world together. People use Mibo for team socials, events, workshops and meetups, they tell us it sparks real conversations by creating the right fun light weight environment.

In Mibo you really see each other, and everyone freely roams around through the world, making it possible to join/leave a conversation fluently just like real life. The environment always gives you something to start talking about, a funny hat or how the sunny beach reminds you of that vacation you had. Even if you don't feel like talking you can just play a game of pool together.

We were blown away by the responses we've got from our users, the connection they felt when using this. The amount of energy and fun it delivered talking to their remote friends and colleagues. We're ready to create a lot more of this positive energy for a lot more people, making a positive impact on the world.

Tech stack overview

Mibo is written in TypeScript using Vue.js and Firestore. The backend consist of Firebase Functions also written in TypeScript. Our 3D world is created with Unity with all game logic implemented in C#. The frontend and 3D world are communicating with each other through a JavaScript bridge to integrate the video conferencing part of Mibo.

What you will be working on

As a software engineer focussed on the frontend you'll be working on many different parts of our product. Some examples:

• Build our marketplace from the ground up, so people can find and buy new experiences for their Mibo world.

• Enable users to organise their big custom events all by themselves in Mibo with a flawless user experience.

• Implement new features in the JavaScript bridge between the frontend and the 3D world, like achievements for example.

• Improve the frontend architecture to improve reliability (introducing types & tests), enable stellar SEO, splitting up components to make reusable building blocks.

Our ideal candidate

• Extensive experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and CSS.

• Extensive experience with React, Vue.js and/or Angular.

• Cares a lot about high quality, readable code using best practices and architecture patterns.

• Is able to balance optimisation versus execution speed.

• Is autonomous, able to independently pick up work and is not afraid to ask for help when needed.

• Is always focused on how their work will impact the user experience of Mibo.

• Loves to work together with others and get to know how the Mibo backend, game and video conferencing are all connected together. 

We explicitly want to invite and encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply, especially if you're in doubt if you're experienced enough. This because we're building a diverse and inclusive company, but realize that currently a lot of us are from similar backgrounds, that we've unconscious biasses and that we have work to do on this part.
