About the role

As a Frontend Software Engineer, you’ll join our dynamic Product Team dedicated to advancing our Cafe Product—a powerful tool enabling coffee chains to make data-driven decisions for an economically sustainable and environmentally responsible, high-quality coffee experience at scale.

Your contributions will be beyond technical implementation to include design and solution development. You'll collaborate closely with product managers to address the real needs of our customers and ensure a tangible, positive impact.

This role offers ample opportunity for growth as a technical expert and a well-rounded software engineer. If you’re motivated by real-world impact, want to learn more about our vision, and are eager to take ownership of success, this is the role for you.

What you'll do

• Work in a multidisciplinary team together with a Product Manager, UX Designer, Backend Engineers and fellow Frontend Engineers.
• Work on our youngest product. This means new features and challenges on a regular basis, incorporating a lot of incoming customer feedback.
• Design, discuss, and iterate on ideas to continuously improve our Cafe Product. We are looking for people who proactively bring in their own ideas. We provide the context and environment for your success, trusting you to find the technical solutions.
• Develop frontend code with a strong focus on performance, testability, and reliability, adhering to best practices and coding standards.
• Work on a frontend codebase where the Clean Architecture principles are at its core. We write code that is framework agnostic and only use React as a rendering tool for the visualization layer.
• Learn about the specialty coffee industry, creating solutions that positively impact the life of thousands of coffee producers, roasters, and baristas.

We are looking for someone with

• Passion for Engineering: A deep knowledge of and enthusiasm for software engineering that extends beyond coding—someone who creates solutions designed to last for years, not months.
• Typescript Expertise: A strong commitment to writing Typescript code, regardless of the web framework. We don’t do web development; we craft fully-fledged front-end software solutions.
• Ownership & Responsibility: A proactive attitude, willingness to step outside your comfort zone, and dedication to turning vision into reality.
• Team Player: Excellent communication skills to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and foster collaboration.

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

We embrace remote work for engineers who

• Have strong organizational skills and can manage their time and their units of work in harmonization with the team.
