ABOUT THE ROLE
Our engineering teams architect, develop, and test our products. As a Senior Frontend Developer, your mission is to build awesome user interfaces for our platform which serves millions of views monthly. At InterNations you will contribute to connecting global minds and making expat life a great experience.
As a member of an international, cross-functional Product Experience Team (PXT), you will architect, implement, and test new functionality and maintain existing functionality using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Our PXTs organize themselves using SCRUM and you will work closely with your Product Manager and your team on the feasibility of concepts and upcoming changes. You will write automated tests, from unit to acceptance tests, to assure the quality and longevity of our products and a sustainable pace for future changes.
As part of the greater Engineering Department, you will expand and improve our Pattern Library of UI components towards consistency and reusability.
