Senior Front End Engineer at SMG Swiss Marketplace Group

What we are looking for?

Engineers are expected to be proficient in their technology, IDE & operating system of choice, we do not dictate your exact tooling, but you need to be comfortable to perform all aspects of the engineering process efficiently. We are looking for someone with strong experience in modern JavaScript tech e.g React, Nodejs, working with APIs, as well as working knowledge of CI/CD processes**.** Additionally, you would have experience working in distributed systems running on Kubernetes on AWS would be a plus.

Our ideal employee would be self organising and would not have to be told what to do on every single detail, they would be given a general task or direction, and as part of their due diligence they would uncover, and execute on what is needed to get from point A → B. When you notice a problem, you don't look the other way; you either fix it or come up with a plan. You are curious and want to understand how things work. You are not afraid to ask for help and you are willing to help other engineers.

We know engineering is a vast field, and nobody can know everything, but you should be familiar with some of the following tools and technologies:

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript
• Strong proficiency with React .
• Familiarity with state management libraries (e.g., Redux, MobX)
• Knowledge of testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright)
• Familiarity of microservices architecture, and how from a Front End point of view your code interacts with sub systems.
• Familiarity with server-side rendering and static site generation in Next.js
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
• Ability to work in a collaborative, agile environment
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines

How do we work?

We are a team distributed over multiple locations. Therefore, our default work mode is asynchronous. We write a lot and try to communicate as concisely as possible. We limit our ”Work in Progress” so that you can focus on the task at hand.

Usually, work is assigned to two people so that you always have a sparring partner. This gives you the flexibility to plan the work as you see fit and to pair when needed. It is also a great way to share the knowledge in the team.

Every day we have a short (15-30 min) team daily, where we sync with each other on what we worked on, highlight any blockers we’ve encountered or share what we've learned.

Because the activities on tutti & anibis never stop, we have to keep the lights-on 24/7. For that we have a mature on-call organisation.
