Your team
Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.
Your mission
Our mission is to evolve Frontify’s platform capabilities and deliver useful everyday tools to our customers. We are innovating and working on creative solutions to help our customers manage their Frontify organizations and resources more efficiently.
You’ll join the Guidelines team, where we’re looking for a competent and curious Senior Backend Engineer who thrives on solving architectural challenges and getting things done.

* You are comfortable diving into the frontend when needed, using TypeScript & React or other modern frameworks.
* You love to write readable, reusable, scalable, and well-tested code.

* You're proficient in writing Unit Tests and are familiar with test-driven development (TDD) and domain-driven design (DDD).
* You are not shying away from dealing with legacy code.
* You speak English fluently.
