These are our current challenges and future goals:

We're looking for a frontend developer with proven experience in the e-commerce sector — if that’s you, let’s talk!

If you are a skilled and motivated Node.js / React Engineer who enjoys solving real-world problems and takes pride in writing clean, maintainable code. In this role, you’ll play a key part in crafting our customer-facing experiences and internal tools. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers in a supportive environment where open communication, trust, and continuous learning are valued.

We’re not just looking for someone who can write code—we’re looking for a thoughtful engineer who wants to understand the “why” behind the work, contribute ideas, and help the team thrive.

This is where we need your support:

• Frontend and User Experience: You create engaging and responsive user interfaces with React and TypeScript. You collaborate closely with design and product teams to ensure that the user experience is intuitive, accessible, and aligned with business goals. You focus on performance optimization, cross-browser compatibility, and mobile responsiveness.
• Backend Understanding: You collaborate effectively with backend developers and have a basic understanding of Node.js and Express to facilitate seamless integration and communication between frontend and backend systems.
• API Integration and Data Flow: You work with REST APIs and GraphQL to connect frontend components with backend services. You ensure smooth data flow and state management using modern React patterns and libraries.
• Collaboration and Code Quality: You actively contribute to team discussions, code reviews, and documentation. You help define and implement best practices, support knowledge sharing, and ensure that solutions are reliable, testable, and easy to maintain.
• Platform and Ecosystem Development: You expand your expertise by working on Shopify-based projects, including the use of Liquid templating and Shopify Plus features. You contribute to custom storefront development, theme customization, and adapt solutions to platform-specific requirements.

You have the following experience:

• Frontend Expertise: You bring strong experience in building modern web applications using React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript (ES6+). You're proficient with state management libraries, CSS-in-JS solutions, and frontend build tools.
• API and Integration Skills: You are comfortable working with REST APIs and GraphQL, understanding how to efficiently fetch, cache, and manage data in frontend applications.
• E-commerce Platform Knowledge: You have experience with Shopify development, including Liquid templating, theme development, and understanding of e-commerce user flows and conversion optimization.
• UI/UX Collaboration: You have experience translating design mockups into pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces and working closely with designers to ensure optimal user experiences across devices.
• Code Quality and Best Practices: You focus on writing clean, well-structured, and well-tested code. You prioritize maintainability and reliability in everything you build.
• Collaboration and Communication: You work well in team environments, communicate clearly, and contribute to a healthy engineering culture by asking thoughtful questions, sharing ideas, and offering and receiving feedback openly.

That's something you can look forward to:

• Flexible working hours and time tracking.
• Unlimited access to the latest courses on tech, business, leadership and mental/physical well-being.
• Top-notch equipment rented through Grover and conveniently delivered to your home.
• A generous 40% discount on our entire range in the shop.
• 30 days of vacation + the option to take up to 10 days of unpaid leave – because sometimes you just need a little break.
• Company health insurance that covers additional services worth up to €600 per year (e.g., vision aids, dental cleanings, etc.).
• Glow Card: With your prepaid credit card, you can shop at selected providers in your area. Each month, you'll receive €50 , giving you an annual bonus of €600!
• After passing your probation period, we offer a company pension plan with an annual contribution of at least €600. And here’s the best part: if you contribute to the plan yourself, we’ll add an extra 20% on top.

Yay! You've made it this far!

But there’s one more thing we want to say: Don’t hesitate! Especially if you’re a woman, or from an underrepresented group. Even if you don’t check every box, we want to encourage you to apply anyway. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger – and the stronger our team is, the better we can fulfil our mission of helping people bring more energy into their daily lives.
