Frontend Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Frontend Developer to join us in a hybrid setting in Amsterdam (3 days per week in the office), who will be part of our team that continuously builds and maintains our website, demos, dashboard and documentation.

As a Frontend Developer, you will primarily focus on the development of the previously mentioned products, working closely with the front-end lead, other engineers and the design team, to implement new features that improve the user experience of those using the products.

Responsibilities

• Make sure features are implemented correctly and with an eye for detail
• Pixel-perfect implementation of design by close collaboration
• Focus on reusability, performance, user experience and SEO
• Improve and build upon multiple of our front-end related products
• Think strategically about technical improvements, structure and refactoring

You’re an engineer who deeply appreciates design and consistency. You can faithfully implement a design built in Figma, giving meaningful feedback and even making changes to the design yourself if necessary. You are a team player who enjoys figuring out solutions to complex problems. You have a feeling for design and can translate design to product. You are familiar with the latest technologies in frontend development and love to stay up to date with the latest developments.

You are detail-oriented, mindful of deadlines, and you have a high sense of responsibility. At Stream, we strive to provide the best possible product and service to our clients, and we expect the same from you!

As a member of the team, you must be excited to grow with Stream. At our core, we are a startup - you should be able to act quickly, thrive in uncertainty, and love pivoting to new technologies.

You have

• 4+ years experience with React
• Experience with NextJS and Tailwind CSS
• A passion for great UX and responsive design
• Focus on testing your own code and committing production-ready code
• Expert level knowledge of CSS / SCSS with proven experience animating interactions
• In-depth knowledge of semantic HTML and accessibility
• A wide knowledge of developing responsive / adaptive layouts for multiple browsers and platforms, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Experience with TypeScript and modern JavaScript

Don’t fall into all of the requirements? You don’t have to match every bullet point as long as you can grow into the role and provide value to the team.

Bonus points

• Experience with content management systems and backend development
• Experience with optimizing frontend performance
• Maintaining a high standard of code quality
