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.

Position

Interested in tackling challenges across different business domains while utilizing the latest front-end technologies?
Eager to work in a team where best practices such as automated testing, continuous delivery, and functional programming are the starting point, not the goal?
Curious to find out what working in a managerless environment feels like?

Good, keep on reading!

About the job

Our Amsterdam office that has been officially certified as a Great Place to Work is looking for a Front-end Engineer. You will solve juicy digital challenges at scale, share expertise with others, and work closely with Reaktor communities in Lisbon, Stockholm, Helsinki, NYC and Tokyo. We enjoy working on-site and spending time with our team, but want to offer you opportunity for remote work whenever you wish, support your home office set-up and provide a remote-friendly working environment.

Your qualification

As a Front-end Engineer you:

• Write complex software from scratch with functional JavaScript/TypeScript utilizing the latest libraries
• Take care of both the technical and human side of projects
• 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

We would like to see 4+ years of experience in Front-end (or experience in all of the above).

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. Ivory Tower Architects need not apply
• View your colleagues and clients as individuals with their respective strengths and weaknesses
• Believe that sometimes tech is best solved with no code at all, but by talking to the right people

Reaktor’s cross functional teams consist of Front-end Engineers, Backend / DevOps & SRE specialists, Designers, Data Scientists, and Coaches. We unite our efforts to help future-thinking companies like adidas, Lego, HBO, Finavia, and FC Liverpool succeed in their world-scale digital endeavours everyday.
