As a Senior Front-end Developer you maintain the balance between creativity and functionality for our web shops, and you coach your fellow developers.

What you tell your friends you do ‘I am the chosen one who brings balance to the force.’

What you will really be doing

• Improving the usability and performance of our web shops.
• Delivering a working functionality for our web shops, once every two weeks.

How will you be doing this?

• You are an all-rounder in a Scrum team. Besides your own specialization you will learn to perform all other tasks within the team.
• You prioritize your own work together with your team and Product Owner. You will receive immediate feedback from end users and you will have a lot of opportunities to experiment.
• You will be using the right tools for whatever job will be thrown at you. Choices that were made in the past are not rules.
• You will work in a motivated team to meet ambitious deadlines. There is always a budget for good ideas.
• Big data and experience are your gurus, your gut feeling isn’t. To measure is to know.

What we have worked on last quarter

• Responsive design. One codebase, lots of devices, but always the optimal user experience.
• Reviews. A completely new infrastructure for better performance and scalability. Improved usability for both customers and moderators. More reviews, more interaction, less spam, better conversion rates.

What a day in the office might look like You and the interaction designer from your Scrum team finalize the first step of the new checkout. Proudly you examine the result: a well-considered combination of semantically correct HTML(5) and Javascript/Jquery and CSS(3) for added value. All in order to create an optimal user experience. Now, you are both dying to start working on the next sprint regarding the payment page. You and the other developers have made very sure, over the last few weeks, to keep things as simple as (humanly) possible. So, creating this page should be a piece of cake.

Team You will be working in a team with three to five other developers, each of them with their own specialization, ranging from PHP to Javascript. Your team will be managed by a Scrum Master and a Product Owner.
