With a keen eye for detail and a love for elegant solutions the Frontend Engineer is seasoned, creative and eager in writing the best HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG for our digital channels.

Tech stack

Our goal is to simplify and reduce as much as possible—we try not to start our days by downloading yet another new framework. We try to keep the IT debt to a minimum and do things properly the first time, instead of contriving hacky solutions just to meet a deadline. We strive to be independent and always critically evaluate if we truly need third-party dependencies in a project. We care deeply about security of our software and we follow secure coding practices.

In short: Simplify, reduce dependencies and get back to the basics.

As regards to tech stack, here are some of the Frontend technologies we use:

• Basic web languages: HTML, CSS, vanilla JavaScript (not the framework)
• Native Android and iOS
• Git

Work environment

You will be working in a small team of in-house developers with a wide range of differing skills. Our development team follows the SCRUM method. We have lots of options what to work on and interesting problems to solve related to many different fields in front of and behind the scenes.

We aim for healthy KPIs to track development: we feel like, for example, measuring work by hours does not reflect developer productivity, neither does the number of closed tickets. It is somewhere in between.
