Frontend Engineer (Angular) - ANYbotics team

Holycode is looking for a Frontend Engineer (Angular) ready to start a once in a lifetime project inside the ANYbotics team.

ANYbotics is a fast-growing tech company. We are building the autonomous robot workforce of the future, today. Join our highly talented and motivated team of more than 100 people and work on cutting-edge robot technology.

ANYbotics transforms industrial plants in the (renewable) energy, process, and utility sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach. Our mobile robot ANYmal uses legs for extreme mobility in complex environments, camera- and LIDAR-based sensing for full autonomy and obstacle avoidance, to perform jobs and deliver high-quality, consistent inspection results. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and all related ANYbotics electrical hardware.

We are seeking a Frontend Engineer to join our dynamic software engineering team and help us build the next generation of our web user interface.

Working closely with our UX designers and keeping the end-user experience in mind, you will create a seamless and intuitive user interface for our customers to control, configure, and harness the data collected by our robots (See it in action here!).

Given the crucial role of ease-of-use in product acceptance and integration, your contribution strongly influences the company's success.

We constantly come up with new ways to optimise the performance and skills of our robots, allowing customers to gain valuable insights into their facilities and processes as easily and efficiently as possible. With your technical expertise, you actively contribute to making our robots smarter, more robust, and more user-friendly.

Remote Collaboration: We're confident that this crucial and thrilling work can be effectively done remotely, and our experienced team has successfully conducted large-scale remote development.To ensure your connection to the company, team, and product, we've integrated remote friendly practices into our culture and development approach, as well as  periodic co-location (physical visits) to connect with your colleagues and get familiar with the robot.
