JavaScript Job: JavaScript Developer

Company Introduction

Conifer Point Pharmaceuticals is a start-up company providing computational chemistry services. It has a Phase II NIH-SBIR grant to implement and deploy a web site for fragment-based pharmaceutical drug design where candidate drug molecules are assembled from patterns of small chemical building blocks (fragments) as they bind to therapeutic proteins. The web site uses React, WebGL for 3D molecular visualization, WebAssembly for incorporating C++ functionality running in the browser, and numerous Javascript sub-systems from other chemical software vendors.

Develop new user-facing features

Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs

Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability

Assure that all user input is validated before submitting to back-end services

Collaborate with other team members and stakeholders

Good understanding of web markup, including HTML5 and especially CSS3

Good understanding of jQuery and React.js.

Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues

Familiarity with front-end build tools, such as Webpack

Proficient understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git

Good understanding of browser rendering behavior and performance

BA, BS or MS degree in computer science

Some basic chemistry knowledge is desirable (e.g. high school AP Chemistry, college freshman chemistry)
