Frontend Engineer

About Reaktor

At Reaktor, we create digital products, services, and strategies built on exceptional technological competence. We are looking for software developers to join our team in Amsterdam – wherever you might be living now.

The Amsterdam office was founded by expats, and the team here in the Netherlands is currently boasting 28 nationalities. At Reaktor, you will solve meaningful and challenging tasks with a friendly team of the brightest minds. We hire a personality, not a pair of hands. Here you’re free to express your personal quirkiness, explore different domains and technologies, and shape your own development path.

Position

Our Lisbon office is looking for a Front-end Engineer to solve juicy digital challenges at scale, share expertise with others, and work closely with Reaktor communities in Amsterdam, Stockholm, Helsinki, NYC and Tokyo. 

As a Front-end Engineer you:

• Have 4+ years of professional web development experience
• Write complex software from scratch with functional JavaScript/TypeScript utilizing the latest libraries
• Take care of both the technical and human side of projects. You can reason your idea to the client and navigate challenging situations if needed
• Are familiar with React / Vue, automated testing & deployment
• Dabble outside of the browser every now and then (e.g. setup simple CI pipelines)
• Scribble a small humble piece of HTML sprinkled with JavaScript hosted on Netlify when it’s the simplest thing that gets the job done

Ideally you…

• Look forward to taking an active part in shaping your team’s ways of working and programming practices
• Enjoy working with juniors and seniors on the shiny and dirty bits of the codebase
• View your colleagues and clients as individuals with their respective strengths and weaknesses. Having a consulting background is a plus.
• Believe that sometimes tech is best solved with no code at all, but by talking to the right people

What we offer

We offer everything you’d expect of an international tech company: interesting projects, competitive salary and an opportunity to go on work stays to Reaktor offices around the globe. But what really makes us different is our Nordic culture — expect great attention to the work-life balance with a possibility to work flexible hours; high levels of trust and autonomy; and a friendly team of interesting personalities willing to connect beyond work.

Here are our benefits in detail:

• Flexible working hours
• Work trips between EU offices
• Team activities and get-togethers
• Compensation of self-development activities (courses, conferences, certifications, etc.)
• Get paid to do Open Source work
• Company shares
• The latest computer and phone of your choice
• Extended health insurance
• Screens, keyboard, headphones
• An ergonomic home office if needed
• Healthy and not-so-healthy snacks and drinks at the office
• Travel expenses
• Phone subscription
• Home internet expenses coverage
• Company trips twice a year (when the pandemic situation permits)

Relocation

If you’re not based in Lisbon, no worries. What’s important is that you’d be willing to come join us. To make sure we’re a home for top talent like you, we offer a nice relocation package, as well as all the help and advice you need in moving over.
