Job description

Akiflow is a productivity tool that consolidates all your to-dos from multiple platforms (via API - email/slack/asana/etc.) and has a comprehensive view (tasks+calendars). No more switching between multiple apps, no more context switching.

Why are we building Akiflow?

In the last few years, we have seen tremendous changes in the way we work. The pandemic has disrupted the idea of a "traditional office" work environment, and many of us are now working in a "Hybrid office," combining remote work and office time. That's not the only significant shift in the workspace; in fact, not only did work environments change but so did the very nature of people's jobs. Knowledge workers nowadays spend a lot of time juggling various tasks, coming from everywhere - project management tools, email, chat apps, etc.

In a world where the boundaries between private life and work-life are thinner than ever, and the complexity of our jobs is higher than ever, effective planning has become an essential skill to help everyone use their time as efficiently as possible. We build Akiflow because we are firm believers that avoiding cognitive overload, distractions, overscheduling, and context switching is the key to staying productive and happy in the modern work environment.

We are looking for a skilled React.js developer to join our development team and work on the Akiflow main app in Electron JS. You will be responsible for developing and implementing user interface components using React.js concepts and workflows. You will also be responsible for profiling and improving front-end performance. You will also be responsible to interact with various rest API.

• Building reusable components and front-end libraries for future use.

• Monitoring and improving front-end performance.

Knowledge and Skills

• Previous experience working as a React.js/Node js Developer.

• Experience with code versioning tools.
• Experience in interacting with rest API.
• Nice to have: experience with Electron Js.
• Previous startup experience.
