About Buttonwood Marketplace

Local news, classifieds and event listings for Hamburg make up the core of the site. Since 2015, the company has run a comparison site for car insurance, mortgages and credit cards. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

What this job is

Buttonwood Marketplace has an opening for a Frontend Engineer. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React.

Headquarters is in Hamburg. This is a long-term contractor role, paid monthly in USD. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET.

What you'll work on

• Integrate with REST and GraphQL APIs and handle loading, error and empty states properly.
• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser.
• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent.

What you bring

• 3+ years building production web applications.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.
• Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues.

Preferred qualifications

• Figma, including Dev Mode.
• Visual regression testing with Chromatic or Percy.
• Some Node.js backend work.
