Frontend Developer (React) 80-100% Zürich oder Bern

HotelCard is one of Switzerland's best-known travel brands, connecting over 80,000 members with exclusive hotel deals at more than 500 hand-picked hotels across Switzerland and neighbouring regions. From spontaneous getaways to spa retreats and city breaks, we help travellers explore the best of local tourism—year-round and at exceptional value.

We're a product-driven team of 25 in Zurich, passionate about building smart, user-friendly digital products for the travel industry. Our developers aren't just ticket implementers—they actively help shape user journeys, product decisions, and technical direction.

Our tech stack includes a React-based website (Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS) and an Angular-powered Extranet used by hotel partners—both continuously evolving with a strong focus on performance, usability, and long-term maintainability.

Your main focus will be our React-based booking platform, directly influencing how tens of thousands of users discover and book hotels.

We're actively modernizing our frontend stack, and you'd play a key role in shaping how it evolves.

You'll take ownership of many frontend features and improvements, collaborating closely with Product, UX, and Technology from concept through implementation and continuous improvement based on user feedback.

You'll work closely with:

• Head of Technology on technical direction and architecture
• Product & UX on feature implementation and user journeys
• Backend engineers on APIs and integration

Build and evolve user-facing features using React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind. Create clean, reusable components aligned with our design system. Translate UX concepts into intuitive, high-performing interfaces. Take part in product discovery and iteration—not just delivery.

Extranet Maintenance & Improvement (Angular – nice to have)
Help maintain and improve our Angular-based hotel Extranet. Refactor existing code where needed and support long-term stability and maintainability.

Proactively spot UX, performance, and technical improvement opportunities. Help shape frontend architecture, performance budgets, and design system ownership. Maintain high standards through testing, code reviews, and thoughtful refactoring.
