Job Description

Your mission

We are looking for a Front End Engineer to join our cross functional Core Experience team and help them help our neighbors connect with one another!

Technical Stewardship

• Take ownership of the frontend architecture and technical direction of the Core user experience team, ensuring scalability, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Be an active participant in the evolution of our React-based frontend, including state management, SSR in Node.js, and build tooling (Vite, Webpack, Rollup, CI/CD).
• Uphold engineering standards for clean code, testing, performance, accessibility, and security.
• Participate in technical decision-making and ensure alignment with backend, platform, and product architecture.

Delivery & Execution

• Collaboratively deliver outcomes with your cross functional team: planning, prioritisation, predictability, and quality.
• Commit to user value deliveries each sprint and consistently meet those commitments.
• Work closely with Product Management and Design to translate business and user needs into executable technical roadmaps.
• Balance technical debt, platform evolution, and feature delivery in a sustainable way.

Your profile

• 3-7 years of experience building robust, scalable, and performant web applications using React and the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem.
• Deep understanding of React, state management patterns (e.g. Redux or alternatives), and frontend architecture principles.
• Hands-on experience with technical integration of advertising platforms, including ad serving, tracking implementation, and tag management.
• Experience with Server-Side Rendering (e.g. Node.js), modern build tooling (Vite, Webpack, Rollup), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven ability to collaborate closely with UX/UI designers, backend engineers, and product managers.
• Strong ownership mindset: you care about outcomes, not just output.
• Excellent English skills for working in our international team; German is a plus.
• Experience with topics in our environment is a plus:
• Braze
• Google Ads Manager
• Google Tag Manager
• Cookieless Targeting
• EUID implementations
