Job summary

Waal Digital has an opening for a Junior Frontend Engineer. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. This role sits between design and backend engineering. Expect to spend most of your time in TypeScript, CSS and browser dev tools. You can work from home anywhere in the Netherlands. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Main duties

• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts
• Add analytics events and help product read the results
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers
• Write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library, and end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress

Who you are

• 1+ years building production web applications
• Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues
• Git and a pull request based workflow

Perks and benefits

Salary range: €4,600 to €5,800/month

• Pension scheme
• Laptop and phone
• Travel allowance

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.
