About this role

Company Description

ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings. If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.

Job Description

  • Develop and maintain high-quality, performant, and scalable frontend features for our Web Shop (Desktop, Mobile Web, Tablet) using React and TypeScript
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and QA managers to translate concepts and requirements into user-friendly and reliable features
  • Take an active role in solving complex technical problems and architecting innovative, sustainable frontend solutions
  • Take ownership of large-scale projects from conception to deployment, requiring little oversight
  • Foster a culture of high-quality code, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing
  • Actively participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, and adherence to best practices
  • Contribute to optimizing our frontend architecture, performance (Core Web Vitals), and development workflows

Qualifications

  • At least 4 years experience with Frontend Development
  • Expert proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript
  • Deep experience with React and its ecosystem (e.g. hooks, context)
  • Strong skills in HTML and modern CSS (e.g. CSS-in-JS, responsive design)

  • Experience integrating with REST APIs and managing application state (e.g., Redux, Zustand, React Query)
  • Familiarity with build tools (e.g. Webpack, Vite) and package managers (e.g. npm, yarn)
  • Strong knowledge of web performance optimization principles and accessibility (a11y)
  • Proficient with Git and comfortable with CI/CD workflows
  • Excellent problem-solving: You can solve conceptual, non-standard problems and exercise solid judgment based on analyzing multiple sources of information
  • High autonomy and ownership: You are motivated, take matters into your own hands, and can lead a complex project or process with little oversight from your manager

Nice to have

  • Experience with server-side rendering (SSR)
  • Experience working in a large-scale e-commerce environment
  • Knowledge of Node.js
  • Experience building or maintaining a design system or component library
  • Experience with end-to-end testing tools like Cypress
