<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <p><strong>Your Role</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>We're looking for a (Senior) Frontend Enginee</strong>r to supplement our cross-functional product team "Fancy". Here, you'll help us evolve our modern, user-friendly web application built with React and TypeScript. You'll work closely with colleagues from frontend, backend, product management, and design — and you'll regularly be part of product discovery yourself: generating ideas, joining user interviews, and weaving in insights from customer and support feedback.</p><p><br/></p><p>With us, you'll actively shape how we collaborate and take ownership for more than just your code: you'll help drive decisions, support prioritization, and foster a culture of shared learning and experimentation.</p><p><br/></p><ul><li><strong>Location/Remote Work</strong>: We work in a hybrid setup: you can work from home, but shouldn't live too far away from our office in Hamburg so you can join on-site team meetings (like our three-weekly team retrospectives). We'd love it if you came into the office more often during your onboarding!</li><li><strong>Languages:</strong> German and English (B2 is the minimum level for both)</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>What We're Looking For</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Must-Haves:</strong></p><ul><li>5+ years of experience in product-driven development</li><li>Strong skills in React and TypeScript</li><li>Many years of experience building single-page applications</li><li>Solid experience writing unit, integration, and acceptance tests</li><li>Experience with iterative development (CI/CD) and clean test automation</li><li>Good working knowledge of GraphQL and RESTful APIs</li><li>An understanding of "Clean Code" principles in the frontend and other engineering best practices</li><li>A passion for crafting elegant solutions to complex problems</li><li>A strong sense for product and design</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>Nice-to-Haves:</strong></p><ul><li>Experience with form management as well as data tables, CSS-in-JS solutions, etc. (e.g. Apollo, Formik, yup, Tanstack/react-table, Emotion/Styled Components, …)</li><li>Experience with Codeception, Cypress, or Playwright</li><li>Basic knowledge of PHP (our backend language)</li><li>Datadog or comparable monitoring tools</li><li>Web accessibility</li><li>Storybook</li><li>Confidence with product-related processes (discovery, user research, experiments, A/B testing, etc.)</li></ul><p><br/></p><p>Since we work in cross-functional teams, you don't need to master everything. What matters is that you share our values and enrich our crew. We value personal growth and give you the space for it. What you definitely should bring along is good German and English skills — the team speaks German internally and is in regular exchange with colleagues in the US. A little Pirate-ish doesn't hurt either, YYYAAAARRRRrrrrrr!</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The Team</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>Team "Fancy" safely navigates merchants through the shallows of US parcel shipping — we create pricing transparency, help with rate calculation, and make checkout so easy that our customers keep sailing back into our home port. In short: we take care of the customer journey until the shipping label is ready and everything's set for the great voyage!</p><p><br/></p><p>Right now, we're working on topics and projects including:</p><p><br/></p><ul><li>Expanding and optimizing our test suite (Codeception, Cypress)</li><li>Monitoring, RUM, and log management in Datadog</li><li>Continuous component development in React</li><li>Improvements to address input and validation</li><li>Improvements to user flow and accessibility</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>Diversity</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>We're committed to diverse teams and especially welcome applications from women and non-binary people.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>Since our founding in 2014, we’ve been disrupting the package shipping market in the US with our software. Our mission is to make the complex parcel shipping process as simple, user-friendly, and affordable as possible.</p><p><br/></p><p>We operate in multiple locations in the US and serve the American market exclusively. However, the development of our web app has always had its home base in Hamburg-Ottensen. Together with our overseas colleagues, we work daily to deliver the best possible product for our users. This is what we're valued for, and it’s the wind in our sails.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Our Values &amp; Culture</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>As an owner-managed company with a crisis-proof product in a growth-oriented market, we can combine high-quality standards, attention to detail, and an attractive working environment with great conditions. We believe creativity and room for personal ideas provide the optimal environment for innovation, progress, and quality. Trust and helpfulness, combined with many opportunities to take on responsibility, enable personal growth. This means working with little hierarchy and a pull, not push, approach to tasks.</p><p><br/></p><p>This agile, self-organized way of working requires a high level of personal responsibility and enthusiasm for close teamwork. We give each other quick feedback and aren’t afraid of conflict, but always find fair, solution-oriented consensus. In doing so, we learn a lot from each other, and value diversity as opportunity.</p><p><br/></p><p>To ensure long-term collaboration, we do everything possible to make family and work compatible.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>What Doesn't Fit</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>You won’t be happy here if you expect complete, end-to-end processes like in large corporations. On our ship, some things are still not perfectly tied down, but we work together to improve systematically. You’ll also be unhappy if you’re a lone wolf, apathetic, or expect to be told exactly what to do. And if you happen to be a macho, fascist, or conspiracy theorist, you’ll be quickly keelhauled!</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Anything Else?</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>We haven’t listed the usual perks like free fruit, beer, foosball, or ball pits. If you’d like those, let’s chat. We either already have them or can make them happen!</p><p><br/></p><p>We offer the following conditions:</p><ul><li>You decide whether to work remotely or on-site at our Hamburg-Ottensen office</li><li>We’re hiring in Hamburg and surrounding areas, as we occasionally meet in person for special events; nevertheless, we might be able to make exceptions possible, i.e., if you're living in Berlin</li><li>Part-time work is possible</li><li>30 days of vacation</li><li>We have a flexible working time model</li><li>We offer an extensive budget of EUR 3000 per year for learning through conferences or trainings</li><li>Regarding development environments: we use a lot of macOS, but also Ubuntu. Windows isn’t supported and isn’t planned. You’ll work with a MacBook or ThinkPad. Most of us use PHPStorm, Vim, or VS Code for development.</li></ul><p><br/></p><p><strong>What To Expect</strong></p><p><br/></p><ul><li>Introduction call (50-60min): Spend time with our Engineering Manager, align on the responsibilities of the role, and answer your questions.</li><li>Get to know the team (50-60min): You'll meet the Software Engineers and Product Manager on the team and learn more about the current challenges.</li><li>Technical Deep-Dive discussion (60-90min): You'll get to solve a little coding challenge at home as a conversation starter for a technical Deep-Dive discussion afterward.</li><li>Offer to come on board (30 min): At this point, the team is excited about you.</li></ul> </div>
