As a Frontend Developer, you join a team of experienced developers striving to deliver the best possible user experience for our customers. We use Ember.js, React and TypeScript in the frontend with a fully automated CI/CD pipeline to test, bundle and ship our code.

You will work closely with peers, product managers, designers, and backend developers on services that power the specialty coffee industry. We collaborate closely across departments and we acknowledge learning from each other regardless of position or experience. We believe in growing together and we welcome your contributions to architectural and implementation decisions. This role provides ample room to grow not only as an expert in your field but also as a person.

• Work directly with product managers, designers, and developers in a small, cross-functional team, on our web-based platform for specialty coffee producers, roasters, and cafes
• Build client code that is fast, testable, and high quality
• Iterate quickly based on user feedback
• Take over cycle tasks and solve real-world problems for our customers
• Maintain and improve our existing code base to deliver the best experience possible for a worldwide audience
• Have ownership over parts of the product
• Learn about the specialty coffee industry and have an impact on the livelihoods of tens of thousands of coffee producers

Our technology stack

• The frontend is written in JavaScript and TypeScript
• We use Ember.js and React

• We use JSON:API

Requirements

We are looking for people with

• A degree in Computer Science or related fields or a proven track record in developing non-trivial applications
• 3+ years of working experience as a software developer using modern, object-oriented programming languages
• Deep knowledge and passion for software development with a modern JavaScript framework like Ember.js, React, Vue, or AngularJS
• Understanding of software development and delivery process and related technologies like Git, CI/CD pipelines, testing, bundling, containerization, and deployment
• A passion for solving real-world problems and writing reusable code that lasts for years, not months
• Ability to discuss with your teammates from product management, design, and development
• A strong command of written and spoken English
• Experience working remotely

That said, we'd be particularly delighted to hire someone with

• Experience with TypeScript

At this point, Cropster will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in Austria/the EU for this opening. For Non-EU applicants: please attach your work permit to your application.

Disclaimer: When it comes to our development team, we are fairly new to fully remote working arrangements. While Cropster has been a distributed company since day one, with offices and employees in several countries around the globe, our core product team has always been based in Austria.

We strongly believe that our culture, diversity, and team spirit is the driver of our success and it s something we cherish and hold in high regard. Joining Cropster as a fully remote employee should not take away from that and we are more than open to adapting and exploring ways to accommodate remote colleagues in the future. We are therefore looking for someone with remote work experience, who helps us shape this idea and turn it into our new reality.
