Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

We’re aiming high! Our vision: By 2030, over 100,000 teams around the world will use awork. ✨
And our engineering team plays a key role in bringing that vision to life. Our product is at the heart of what we do – and you’ll help shape it.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) on our Work Management feature team, you’ll build delightful features, evolve our technical architecture, and ensure our web app performs beautifully. Your work will reduce friction in daily planning for thousands of teams. Our current planning tool is powerful but complex. Your mission: make it feel effortless without losing capability. You’ll introduce new workflows for our users, helping them reduce the busywork and making their work more fun.
You’ll work closely with your teammates (including Annalisa and Marcello), collaborate cross-functionally with product design and backend, and report directly to Marci, our Frontend Team Lead.

Here are some projects you might help ship in your first month:

• Simplify the planning workflow, making it more intuitive while keeping power-user depth.
• Rework and improve the performance and capabilities of our powerful task lists.
• Ship AI-assisted automations and workflows for tasks and projects.

Let’s build something amazing – together. 💜

👆Here's the job:

• Develop new features for our Angular-based web app (v20) – from idea to release
• Collaborate closely with product, design and backend teams during planning and implementation
• Write clean, scalable code with a strong focus on performance and user experience
• Make use of the latest AI tools to deliver impactful customer value faster
• Review and merge pull requests, share feedback and mentor other engineers
• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs using modern monitoring tools

🚀 What makes you successful in this role:

• You take ownership of your projects and drive them to completion. Think small PRs, frequent shipping, continuous iteration. This is what delivers customer value.
• You challenge product decisions with technical insight and always aim for the best solution. Engineers co-own discovery: you’ll join problem framing, not just solution building.
• You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across teams, which is particularly important in our hybrid setup.
• You have a strong eye for design consistency and a deep sense of user empathy. You spot friction in workflows, spot typos and weird default texts and identify places where we can delight our users.
• You care about maintainability, accessibility, and performance. Your code reviews focus on DX and UX, not just correctness.
• You propose experiments and improvement ideas based on data and customer feedback beyond your direct ownership scope to improve the entire product, team and company.

🌟 Our wish list:

• You bring strong frontend experience (5+ years) building complex web apps. Angular experience is a plus, but we value engineers who learn fast and bring product thinking from any modern framework.
• You are experienced building delightful user-facing features.
• You have a good understanding of modern frontend architecture, including state management, API integration, testing, and performance optimization.
• You have good experience with modern AI-assisted software development.
• You are comfortable working cross-functionally and contributing to product and technical discussions.
• You have strong English communication skills (C1 level written and spoken).
