📋 Description

• WunderGraph is growing fast, and we’re on a mission to redefine how companies leverage GraphQL Federation at scale. Our North Star is to enable collaboration across small and large organizations, leveraging APIs as the backbone of growing the business. If you want to make an impact, make your voice heard, and work in a no BS organization so you can get stuff done: look no further and apply today! • We’re looking for a dedicated frontend engineer with a strong background in building large-scale React applications—ideally using Next.js, React and Tailwind. In this role, you’ll develop and maintain key features on our platform, ensuring a smooth, intuitive user experience. You’ll work directly with both the product team and our customers to gather feedback, address technical challenges, and continuously improve the product. • Build software along our entire stack (Next.js, React, Typescript, tRPC, GraphQL, Tailwind) • Maintain, deliver, and take ownership of high-quality features for our SaaS product cosmo.wundergraph.com. • Ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and developer experience (DX). • Analyzing telemetry data and collaborating with our customers to understand their use cases and identify opportunities for improvement. • Diagnosing and resolving technical issues, often working directly with our customers' engineering teams.

🎯 Requirements

• You love to code and solve problems - the more of a challenge, the better, because this helps you to learn and hone your skills • You have a quick mind and quick grasp of problems. • When working on something, your focus is to quickly create shippable increments to get user feedback, rather than building what you think could be a perfect solution. • Despite your coding focus, you always start with the customer / user. Instead of making assumptions, you prefer talking to people and finding out first-hand if no other information is available. • You are not afraid of speaking to customers (or other people), nor of speaking your mind inside the team to call out things that can use some improvement. • You dislike things (e.g. meetings) that keep you from doing what you enjoy. You thrive in an environment where your team mates and managers don’t have hidden agendas, but in fact all work together towards common goals everybody understands. • You understand that working in a startup environment comes with a lot of perks, but also responsibilities. For example, you don’t have issues traveling for company retreats and meet-ups, or for jumping onto a call after hours to help your team mates solve an urgent issue. • Senior level of proven professional experience as a software developer, with a focus on frontend development in large-scale React applications (preferably using Next.js). Work samples are required, ideally as open-source projects on GitHub. • You possess a strong understanding of UI and UX principles, with a passion for creating seamless and visually appealing user experiences. • You know how to manage complex state in React applications, and you have experience with state management libraries like Recoil, Zustand, or Jotai. • You are a self-starter with excellent prioritization skills, capable of managing your workload independently—no hand-holding needed. • You are proficient in TypeScript, React, and Node.js. • Experience with GraphQL, Tailwind, tRPC is a plus. • Ideally, you have experience contributing to open-source projects. • You are comfortable with remote work and thrive in a fully remote environment. • Excellent communication skills in English are essential for collaborating with a global team. • You are willing and able to travel occasionally to meet the team in person (at least twice a year) or join working meetings. • You are able to work within the CET time zone.
