About the Job
The Opportunity
As a JavaScript Software Engineer at JivPad, you will build the dynamic, interactive experiences that bring a new era of communication to life. JivPad is a modern communication system powered by AI, enabling individuals with speech or hearing differences, and anyone who desires intelligent call assistance, to connect with confidence and authenticity. Our platform also delivers real-time translation for in-person conversations, removing language barriers entirely.
In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain JavaScript-based applications and services across our frontend and backend systems. You will work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver seamless, performant user experiences that make complex AI technology feel effortless and intuitive.
This is an opportunity to apply your JavaScript expertise to technology that genuinely matters, where the interfaces and systems you build enable people to be heard, understood, and in control of their own voice.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and maintain responsive, high-quality web applications using modern JavaScript and TypeScript. Develop real-time features including live call interfaces, translation overlays, and interactive communication controls. Collaborate with Design and Product teams to translate wireframes and specifications into polished, accessible user experiences. Build and maintain backend services using Node.js, ensuring reliability, scalability, and clean API design. Write clean, well-documented, and thoroughly tested code with a focus on performance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability. Participate in architectural decisions, code reviews, and technical discussions that shape the direction of the platform. Contribute to DevOps practices including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment workflows.
What You'll Need to Succeed
2+ years of professional experience with JavaScript and TypeScript, demonstrating strong command of the language, modern ES6+ patterns, and best practices. Experience with frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular for building production-grade web applications. Familiarity with Node.js and server-side JavaScript for building APIs and backend services. Experience working with real-time technologies such as WebSockets, WebRTC, or similar communication protocols is a strong advantage. Understanding of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and a commitment to building inclusive interfaces. A collaborative disposition, comfortable working cross-functionally with AI, product, design, and engineering teams in a fast-paced environment. Genuine passion for accessibility, inclusive technology, or communication innovation is highly valued.

About JivPad
JivPad is a modern communication platform built on the belief that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and in control of their own voice. Our AI-powered calling technology enables users to make phone calls with full autonomy, whether they choose to speak through AI using their own cloned voice, direct the conversation in real time via text, or seamlessly take over the call themselves. Our live translation feature allows people speaking different languages to converse naturally, in person, without delays or interruptions.
We are not building another AI calling tool. We are building the future of human connection, where technology amplifies who you are rather than replacing you.
