We are looking for someone with an advanced knowledge of front-end development and how it can be applied at scale across multiple digital products using native Web Components (LIT). You know your way around advanced JavaScript, TypeScript and are proficient with React. You’re someone who has been working with advanced application logic and understands best practices. You are curious and eager to adopt new technologies that enable the cleanest and most maintainable solutions. You are as vested in the impact our product and team intent to achieve as you are focused on the deliverables. 

You will support us with the adoption of the component library. This will involve providing advice to other developers, sharing best practices, and at times jumping into other people’s code to provide feedback. We want to make the components work now and into the future, so you’ll be adding and updating the library to meet our user’s needs.

• Solid experience in JavaScript (browser+node), TypeScript, and ideally some previous knowledge about LIT Web Components as well as React.
• Good understanding of what it means to work with a distributed product (npm/vite/rollup/node) and Github actions/CI.
• Be comfortable talking to and helping developers from different teams as well as giving demos/presentations (in Swedish and English).
• Be communicative and have a clear interest in building a product community of front-end developers.
• Experience in making architectural decisions within Front-end / "Fullstack".

 

You will enjoy working here if

• You are comfortable in driving alignment with stakeholders.
• You enjoy working in a product team.
