Senior Front-End Engineer

As a Frontend Engineer on the UX Platform team, you will be responsible for providing technology-assisted processes and infrastructure to improve the UX/UI in Jimdo. Thus, contributing to the overall user experience, individual teams’ speed of delivery, and reduction in the maintenance costs of our frontend application development.

The team is responsible for components such as the Jimdo Design System, internal frontend framework, Information Architecture, and the UI Library (the concrete implementation of our Design System).

Suppose you have a passion for lightweight JavaScript libraries or applications delivered directly at the edge and enjoy the challenge of creating highly performant, accessible, user-friendly web applications. In that case, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Maintain a shared set of npm packages to be used across the org
• Develop on our custom-built frontend framework, bringing additional features that are specific to our app environments
• Collaborate with different teams to adopt and enhance the frontend framework across the company
• Maintain and enhance code quality and best coding practices
• Research and recommend frameworks and architectural/code design patterns
• Mentor, support, and challenge developers more junior than you to foster growth and collaboration.

What you bring to the table:

• Solution-driven, framework-agnostic approach toward problems.
• Ready to accept new changes in the tech stack.
• Strong knowledge of essential HTTP and foundational JavaScript principles.
• Proficiency in software architecture and software engineering principles and patterns.
• Experience with React, GraphQL, CSS Preprocessors, CDN, Node.js frameworks and libraries, and building tools (Webpack, Vite…).
• Experience with creating and maintaining npm packages.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, and GitHub Actions.
• Ability to work with a global team in a distributed work environment.
• An inclination towards writing and maintaining consistent and clear documentation for other developers and stakeholders.
• Experience with testing patterns (from unit to e2e).
• Experience with monorepos is a strong plus.
• Experience with developing and configuring linters is a strong plus.
