Front-End Software Developer – Kaoto

Introduction

The Kaoto development team is looking for a Software Developer to join us in our Dublin office in a hybrid work model.

Kaoto is an open-source, next-generation designer for Apache Camel integrations. Our mission is to simplify building complex integration scenarios through a modern, intuitive user experience. We are building a tool that empowers developers and integration experts alike to prototype integrations and move them to production easily.

In this role, you will work on our integration solutions built on top of open-source projects like Apache Camel. Your focus will be to enhance our efforts around Kaoto, helping us build and improve the tools our customers use every day.

As a Software Developer in our team, you will have the chance to collaborate with some of the brightest engineers in the open-source industry while acting as an internal advocate for our customers. This position is a great opportunity to make a difference in building innovative technology solutions, while working on products used by thousands of people around the world.

A career in IBM Software means you’ll be part of a team that transforms our customer’s challenges into solutions.

Your Role And Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain rich UI features in React + TypeScript.
• Build and extend visual editors (Topology, React Flow, custom graph rendering, form editors, data mapping).
• Collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and integration experts.
• Contribute to the open-source community: create and review pull requests, publish improvements, and engage with users.
• Ensure code quality, performance, accessibility, and test coverage
• Stay curious: continuously learn and keep up with current technologies.
  
  

Required Technical And Professional Expertise

• Front-End Software Development Experience You have 2+ years of professional experience in front-end software development, showcasing your expertise in shaping user interfaces and web applications. UI Design experience with tools like Figma is considered a plus.

• Compliance with Web Standards Commitment to building accessible, standards-compliant web applications that are high quality and user-friendly.
  
  

Preferred Technical And Professional Experience

• Experience with Testing Frameworks You already have experience in writing integration and unit tests, and Storybook isn’t new to you.
• Proficiency in Build Tools and Git We use Vite and Webpack to bundle our applications. Familiarity with Git and GitHub would be handy.
• Diverse Skill Set You have solid verbal and written communication skills, and you feel comfortable working in a globally distributed team. Experience in one or more of the following topics is considered a plus:

• Yarn or similar package managers
• ESM and CJS modules
• Java development
• Apache Camel and/or integration patterns
  

If you are growth-minded, collaborative, and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply — even if you don’t tick every box. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and identities — your skills and perspective matter here.
