Remote - Germany

Job Overview:

We're looking for a strong intermediate or senior frontend engineer to join our Editor 2.0 team. You'll primarily extend and enhance our existing component library for building onboardings and funnels - work that directly impacts how thousands of customers create their checkout experiences.

This isn't greenfield. You'll be working in a mix of legacy (AngularJS, jQuery) and modern (TypeScript, React) code, shipping features that matter while helping us incrementally modernize the stack.

You'll work alongside a team of very good engineers who care about craft, pragmatism, and shipping things that work

The Team & Codebase

Editor 2.0 team is focused on our funnel and onboarding builder - a visual editor customers use to create their checkout experiences. It's a complex UI with real-time preview, component management, and integrations with the rest of the platform.

The stack:

• Mix of AngularJS, jQuery (legacy) and React, TypeScript (modern)
• Incrementally migrating - some parts are pristine, others need TLC
• REST APIs, standard web tooling (Webpack, Jest, Cypress)
• Deploy multiple times per week

The environment:

• Small, autonomous team (4-5 engineers)
• You'll have real ownership - not just executing tickets
• Direct collaboration with product and design
• Code reviews are thorough but constructive
• Remote-first, async-friendly culture

Key Responsibilities:

• Week to week:

  • Extend existing components in our funnel/onboarding builder
  • Ship features end-to-end: from design handoff to production
  • Fix bugs in both legacy and modern parts of the editor
  • Write tests for critical flows
  • Participate in code reviews and technical discussions

  Over time:

  • Take ownership of specific editor features or subsystems
  • Help shape how we migrate legacy code to modern patterns
  • Improve performance and reliability of the editor
  • Mentor other engineers through pairing and feedback

Required Skills:

• Technical:

  • 5+ years shipping frontend features in production web apps
  • Solid JavaScript fundamentals and TypeScript experience
  • Experience with at least one modern framework (React preferred)
  • Comfortable navigating legacy code (AngularJS, jQuery, or similar)
  • Can write tests and debug across browsers
  • Understands HTML, CSS, and browser behavior deeply

  Approach:

  • You default to shipping incremental improvements over big rewrites
  • You ask good questions when requirements are unclear
  • You balance code quality with business needs
  • You're comfortable working in codebases that aren't perfect
  • You can explain technical tradeoffs to non-engineers

Nice to Haves:

• Experience with visual builders, editors, or drag-and-drop UIs
• E-commerce or SaaS product experience
• Have migrated legacy apps to modern frameworks
• Familiar with microfrontends or modular architectures

What Success Looks Like

First 30 days:

• Ship at least one meaningful improvement to the editor
• Understand the editor's architecture and key flows
• Comfortable navigating both legacy and modern code

First 60 days:

• Independently own and ship medium-sized features
• Provide helpful code reviews to the team
• Identify and propose improvements to editor code or workflows

First 90 days:

• Go-to person for specific editor subsystems or components
• Lead a refactor or quality improvement initiative
• Measurably improve performance, test coverage, or reliability in your areas
