Senior Front-End Engineer (f/md)

Here at C&A we are embracing the digital transformation taking place across the retail sector, whilst also ensuring we do not lose sight of our heritage.

“Let’s build the future together - the best is yet to come”

With rapid growth within our in-house development teams, we are looking for Senior Engineers who are truly passionate about front-end development and can use that passion to coach and guide colleagues along our digital journey. We want experienced front-end Engineers to come and join our close-knit agile delivery teams, where they will create responsive web applications using the latest JavaScript technologies like React and Cloudflare Workers.

While we are hiring for positions in squads that focus on specific areas of development, Engineers are encouraged to contribute to all areas of the product, from backend to DevOps. As a result, you will gain exposure to a wide variety of technologies and methodologies, such as Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda and Serverless implementations, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Docker, Terraform, and CloudFormation.

Key aspects of this role will include:

• Building high-traffic user interfaces with JavaScript and React
• Working on the implementation of high-leverage features to optimize UX and conversion rate
• Cooperating with skilled developers, managers, QAs, and designers to ship new components and features
• Drafting architectural decisions together with the Tech Lead and exploring new technologies
• Having a direct impact on team processes via regular retrospectives
• Acting as a mentor to less experienced colleagues, supporting them on their learning journey whilst further developing your own leadership skills
• Exchanging your knowledge with other developers and being part of our One C&A Family

We would love to speak to those with a blend of some or all the following:

• Professional experience with JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue.js, Angular, or similar
• Experience with component-driven user interfaces & component libraries, e.g. Storybook
• Rich experience in using REST and/or GraphQL Interfaces (e.g. Apollo client/server)
• Practice in build tools like Webpack or NPM, testing frameworks like Jest and CI/CD pipelines like GitLab or Bitbucket as well as version controls systems like Git
• Exceptionally good coding skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

This is an opportunity for you to join us on a genuinely exciting digital transformation, where you will be able to leave footprints that last and contribute significantly to our digital vision. As well as knowing that you played a key part in the evolution of one of Europe’s most recognisable retail brands, you will also enjoy:

• An international and inspirational working environment
• An in-depth induction into your life at C&A
• A positive working atmosphere with an open feedback culture
• Attractive discounts including a public transport travel pass and remote working options
