Full Description

As an entry-level JavaScript Developer at codevista, you'll dive into the world of web development from the comfort of your home or any location in Canada. This remote position offers the flexibility to set your schedule while contributing to innovative projects that enhance user experiences on our digital platforms.

Your primary responsibilities will include writing clean, efficient JavaScript code to develop and maintain interactive web applications. You'll start by assisting in implementing front-end features using vanilla JavaScript and progress to frameworks like React or Vue.js under the guidance of senior developers. Tasks may involve creating responsive UI components, integrating APIs, and debugging code to ensure seamless functionality across browsers.

In this role, expect to collaborate daily with a distributed team using communication tools such as Slack for quick chats, Microsoft Teams for video meetings, and Jira for task tracking.

Familiarity with version control using Git is a plus, but we'll provide training if needed. No prior professional experience is required; what matters is your enthusiasm for coding and willingness to learn through online resources, internal workshops, and mentorship programs.

Our remote work culture promotes self-motivation and effective time management. You'll use tools like Trello or Asana to organize your tasks and set personal goals. codevista supports your professional growth with access to platforms like freeCodeCamp, Udemy courses, and Pluralsight subscriptions tailored to JavaScript development.

Projects might include developing e-commerce features, building dashboard interfaces, or optimizing scripts for performance. You'll follow agile methodologies, participating in sprints to deliver incremental improvements. Security best practices, such as input validation and secure coding, will be introduced gradually.

This role is perfect for recent graduates or self-taught developers transitioning into tech. With codevista's commitment to diversity and inclusion, we create an welcoming environment where your ideas are valued. Enjoy the perks of remote work, like no commute and the ability to work in a setup that suits you best. Join us to kickstart your career in JavaScript development and grow alongside a company that's shaping the future of remote tech teams.
