Senior Frontend Engineer - TypeScript

Company overview

Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it. We started in 1996 and have grown to about 109,600 people.

The role

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. Canalcross needs a frontend developer who cares about page load times, keyboard access and clean component APIs. Our team is spread across 9 countries. Headquarters is in Madrid. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Iceland, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Your responsibilities

• Add analytics events and help product read the results.
• Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier)
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Migrate legacy jQuery or AngularJS pages to the current stack.
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent.
• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser.
• Write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library, and end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress.

Minimum qualifications

• 6+ years building production web applications.
• Able to explain frontend tradeoffs to designers and product managers.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup.
• Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behaviour)
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM.

Desirable

• Visual regression testing with Chromatic or Percy.
