If you’re passionate about writing clean, efficient code, mentoring others, and shaping great software from design to delivery — you might be the person we’re looking for.

What you’ll do

You’ll join our UI Engineering team and take ownership of full-stack projects that power our adtech ecosystem.

This isn’t just about coding — it’s about collaboration, technical ownership, and making an impact.

Here’s what your day might look like:

Build and maintain modern React frontends and Node.js APIs with TypeScript.
Design and implement REST or GraphQL APIs that scale efficiently.
Collaborate closely with backend engineers, designers, and product owners to translate requirements into elegant solutions.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code — with automated tests as a natural part of your workflow.
Help break down complex requirements into manageable tasks and guide junior developers through them.
Contribute to architecture decisions and best practices — we value opinions backed by experience.

What you bring

A technical degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack JavaScript development.
Deep knowledge of React, Node.js, TypeScript, and modern web architectures.
Solid understanding of SQL, database design, and REST API development (GraphQL is a plus).
A strong sense of code quality — testing and clean design aren’t optional for you.
Bonus points for experience with: AWS, Jenkins, Grafana, Graylog, Confluence, Jira, Shell scripting
