Senior Frontend Engineer (Remote)

Frontend development is being reinvented, and we want someone leading that charge at Scalera. You'll use AI tooling to ship at a pace that raises the bar for the whole team, while bringing real UI/UX craft to a complex product that rewards it. You'll work directly with users, own the experience end-to-end, and define what great looks like at Scalera.

The problems we work on are rarely solved with off-the-shelf tools. We value engineers who are comfortable exploring, iterating, and discovering the right solution through experimentation.

What You'll Do

• Lead frontend development with React and Next.js, building interfaces that make AI-driven procurement workflows accessible and intuitive.
• Collaborate with backend engineers on API contracts and integrations, ensuring seamless data flow between services and UI.
• Own frontend performance, accessibility, and code quality - setting standards and maintaining them as the product scales.
• Work directly with users and customers to understand pain points and translate them into product improvements.
• Ship features end-to-end: from problem discovery through implementation, testing, and production.
• Contribute to UI/UX decisions. You don't need to be a designer, but you should have strong instincts for what makes a complex interface work.

• 4+ years of frontend engineering experience with modern JavaScript (vanilla) or frameworks such as React, Vue, SvelteKit or Next.js.
• Strong command of modern TypeScript in a complex B2B or technical product environment.
• Experience with AI developer tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, etc.).
• Proven track record shipping scalable, user-friendly interfaces in fast-moving environments.
• Solid understanding of frontend performance, testing, and CI/CD practices.
• Comfortable working directly with users - you can run a discovery conversation and translate what you hear into product decisions.
• Comfortable making progress when the path isn't fully defined - you can scope, prioritise, and ship without waiting for perfect clarity.
• Clear communicator who collaborates well across a team, including with non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Background in B2B SaaS platforms or construction / procurement tech.
• Familiarity with GCP or data-heavy product architectures.
• An eye for UI/UX design - experience contributing to or driving design decisions.
• German language skills (bonus, not required).

• This is a remote position. You must be located within the EU or EEA.
• Small team, no bureaucracy. You'll work directly with the people making decisions.
• Competitive salary.
