UI Engineer (Relocation within Europe)

About Mollie

We provide a simple and clear payment API, which enables webshop and app builders to implement more than ten different payment methods in one go.

In the first few years of existence, Mollie was a developer-only adventure, and about 15 years later devs and techs still comprise roughly 30% of all staff. As a natural consequence, Mollie still is—and aims to remain—highly tech-minded. We take a developers-first approach to our products and internal development strategy, something that both our customers and our developers appreciate.

This focus on the technical side can be found in various things. For example, you pick whatever tools you want to use to get the job done. MacBooks, absurdly large screens, top-notch noise-canceling headphones, and whatever other equipment makes your nerd-boat float. We go to great lengths to create a space that allows you to focus on the things that will make you happy: shipping great features you helped dream up and build.

Position

As a UI Engineer at Mollie, you’ll be responsible for bringing to life the best-in-class experience for our website. You will work with a multidisciplinary team of designers, SEO specialists, and full-stack engineers to build, maintain, and improve the new WordPress website.

Mollie’s website uses a custom-built solution on top of WordPress, which is used as the tool to create and manage content by other Mollie’s teams in an autonomous way for better scalability and efficiency. At this moment, we are working on several initiatives to improve the overall user experience for our customers, partners, and developers, on a hyper-localized website solution, and attending to the multiple website stakeholders' requirements.

Our architecture:
