About us

Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth.  Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

This is a full-time contractor opportunity for a six-month engagement.

As a Senior Associate Engineer, you will join a highly motivated, experienced team building web and mobile applications while providing strategy consulting for Appnovation's clients. With a strong bias toward frontend craft, you will bring modern JavaScript frameworks to life and turn business ideas into polished, production-ready interfaces. We are looking for engineers who pair sharp technical instincts with a consulting and solution-focused mindset, people who can sit with a client, understand the problem, and ship the right answer.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect and build frontend systems using Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks.
  • Translate design systems and product requirements into reusable, scalable interfaces.
  • Partner with clients to shape technical direction and deliver enterprise-grade applications.
  • Champion engineering best practices across code quality, testing, and continuous delivery.
  • Collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers in a cross-functional environment.

What we are looking for

Must-Have:

  • 8+ years of experience as a software developer or in a comparable engineering role.
  • Strong experience building frontend architectures with Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and HTML/CSS.
  • Proficiency with modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Angular.
  • Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and equivalents).
  • Experience with unit testing, TDD, and integration testing (Cypress or similar).
  • Comfort with continuous delivery tooling and practices (GitHub, Travis CI, agile workflows).
  • Experience designing, orchestrating, and deploying container-based solutions with Docker or Kubernetes.
  • Working knowledge of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
  • Experience operating in a DevOps environment.
  • Strong written and spoken English.
  • Availability to commit to a full-time, six-month contractor engagement.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience building interfaces with established component libraries.
  • Experience working in WSL2 environments.
  • Prior consulting experience.

Who you are

  • You think in systems. You build for scale, automation, and long-term operability, not just the problem in front of you.
  • You hold a high bar for code quality, performance, and security, and you raise it as you go.
  • You bring sharp analytical instincts and sound judgment to ambiguous problems.
  • You lead with a customer-first mindset and treat client relationships as partnerships worth investing in.
  • You communicate clearly and influence effectively across every level of an organization.
  • You thrive in fast-moving, high-performance environments where priorities shift and the work matters.
  • You step into the unfamiliar willingly, and you pick up new concepts, tools, and business models quickly.
