Junior Frontend Software Engineer: Inbound engineering (all genders)

The Role & the Team

As a Junior Software Engineer, you will be a key player in designing and creating technical solutions that extend our reach to external brands. You’ll join a talented group of engineers, collaborating closely with Product Managers, Backend Engineers, and Designers, as well as our dedicated portal team in Sweden.

Your mission is to ensure that as our network grows, complex operational processes—like inventory distribution and replenishment logic—remain seamless and automated. While your primary focus will be on frontend and backend architecture, you’ll have the unique opportunity to peek into backend processes and data models, gaining a holistic view of a massive e-commerce engine.
