Tasks
As a Junior Frontend Developer, you will:
* Build and maintain user-facing features using React and TypeScript
* Help turn UI/UX designs into responsive, performant interfaces
* Work with teammates to integrate backend APIs
* Participate in the full development lifecycle: planning, coding, testing, and iteration
* Collaborate on code reviews, architecture discussions, and product improvements
This is an on-site role in our Zurich office — ideal if you enjoy working closely with a small, dynamic team.
Requirements
Who We're Looking For
You are a motivated, early-career developer who:
* Has 1–3 years of professional experience or is a recent graduate in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a similar field
* Can write clean JavaScript/TypeScript and has practical experience with React (projects, internships, coursework, or early career)
* Understands the basics of component architecture, state management, and responsive design

* Communicates clearly in English and collaborates well with others
* Can work physically from our Zurich office
Nice to Have (Not Required)
* Interest in UI/UX design principles
* Exposure to backend APIs (REST/GraphQL)
* Some personal or academic experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest)
Benefits
* Direct impact on the product and go-to-market direction of Optiml
* Unique opportunity to learn: try, fail, iterate, and build new skills every day - in a culture that values growth & development individually and as a team
* Learning and development budget (conferences, certificates, etc.).
* Team-focused culture with support and flexibility
