Frontend Engineer

YunoJuno powers The Future of Work. What started as a platform to connect the best freelancers with forward-thinking companies has now redefined how businesses source and manage their entire contingent workforce. Whether it’s building a new department at a creative startup or building an enterprise solution for the world’s largest communications network, we use technology to power the freelance revolution.

About the role

We’re looking for a delivery-focused React JavaScript engineer that would enjoy improving a product that over the years has helped our freelancers & clients deliver hundreds of thousands of successful projects together.

Our product team is small (~15) but growing fast and you'd be working alongside a team that put collaboration, the product & transparency first. We run a blameless environment where mistakes are treated as learning opportunities and one where developers own their code all the way through to production.

Our team is remote-first and we work asynchronously where we can. However, we do have an office and if you’re in London we like to meet once a week. We are still open to remote-only developers, provided you are in a UK-friendly timezone (+/-2hrs).

You know your way around modern full-stack web applications, and understand how they fundamentally communicate. You might not know backend development in Python & GraphQL inside out but you are not afraid to learn - as this is a major part of how we work at YunoJuno. You’ll use your knowledge to understand our business priorities and participate in feature design from the outset.

Requirements

To earn this position you must:

• have experience working on front-end heavy applications, in particular React ones. Experience or a strong desire to work with SaaS products would be a bonus.
• Have experience with Typescript and appreciate the ethos behind a type safe environment
• have experience working with remote distributed teams, and the async communication and working patterns that come with that.
• have a good oral & written handling of English, to help with the above.
• believe that code reviews should be a learning process for everyone involved.
• believe testing and code quality are important.
• have a deep understanding of how the web and browsers work.
• are happier shipping features than debating tabs vs spaces, (we use ruff & prettier throughout!)
• prefer to move quickly and iteratively, and believe that shipping incrementally and fast is best.
• are comfortable with Git, GitHub and CI workflows.
• like to start new things as much as you like to replace old ones, and continuously learn from both your and the team’s mistakes.
