About me
I'm Antoine, engineer, entrepreneur, artist. I started my first solo software AfterCodecs in 2017 and have been running Autokroma.com since then. I'm responsible for everything at my company, from the first line of code down to every sentences interacting with the final user. I've been travelling as a digital nomad for 8 years, working remotely on the go while visiting the world, doing many sports and digital hobbies.
I'm looking for new software developers to help me improve Autokroma software. Recently I decided to stop hiring developers remotely. With a new office downtown Porto, my current goal is to create a good team, and have it, me and Autokroma grow all together.
About Autokroma
Our mission is to make video editing professionals' daily lives easier. We developed 5 plugins for Adobe After Effects / Premiere Pro, used by thousands of professionals worldwide.
We specialize in Adobe, encoding/decoding codecs and are always looking for new opportunities in video editing software and visual effects. You can find more info about our current plugins on our website : https://www.autokroma.com/
About you for the job
You know how to code in JavaScript, debug code, troubleshoot issues and you worked on web projects on both front end and back end matters. You have the global picture on You have an excellent memory and great English writing level, you can also speak oral English. You're ready to work for real, learn everyday new tools, procedures, programming tips, methods for organizing yourself the work. You master using Windows OS or macOS.
You have an analytical mind and you're focused on solving problems given constraints that are both told to you but that you also gradually come to understand yourself by exploring the domain. You can read lots of text easily and follow instructions. You're self conscious about how your mind worked in the past and can iterate new ideas to change how you work.
You live around Porto to be able to come at least three days per week to the office. You will be able to work fully remotely for longer periods of time if everything goes correctly in our work together.
The work to be done
I will train you in the areas where you will need help or the domains that interests you, but I expect you to learn everything I'm teaching you fast so that we get S*** done, and move on more interesting projects / tasks. Your diplomas don't matter as much as being compatible to work together, same for X years of experience in technology Y that we'll stop using next year.
We do video editing software in C / C++ / JavaScript on Windows and macOS. Our website is made with JavaScript, TypeScript and the Deno runtime. Our code is not difficult per se, we don't use that much advanced features (or they are already coded and you can re-use them). It's the software development environment that is complicated, with lots of GUI to navigate, edge cases to take into account, OS / platforms differences, weird behaviors to study, black box software to interact with such as Adobe software, undocumented requirements and code to be cleaned without breaking legacy features. Nothing that a clear mind cannot navigate effectively, if taken seriously. Web work include our website but also panels for video editing software that uses web technologies through CEP Chromium.
