Job Description

Today’s disruptive environment calls for a different mindset and a new approach to digital communication technology. As DXPR we are part of the open web movement, taking the power of the internet back from tech giants through decentralized digital experience platforms.

Job responsibilities

  • Use local knowledge to grow our software development team in Cairo
  • Join conference calls with 10+ people (client-side) to explain our technology to potential clients
  • Review inbound pull requests from internal and external developers
  • Communicate with tech support about product improvements
  • Manage our layout builder’s transition from inline jQuery based HTML output to template based output, supporting Bootstrap 4 and 5 in addition to our current Bootstrap 3 support
  • Manage the total conversion of our jQuery code to ES6 code (10.000+ lines of JS code)
  • Manage our continuous investment in CI/CD and help set up visual regression testing in Github Actions
  • Manage a monthly release cycle for our software on packagist, drupal.org, and packages.dxpr.com (Satis composer package server)

About DXPR

About you
