Job description

As we continue to expand our business, we are seeking a curious and passionate individual to join our team as the Frontend Engineer (f/m/d) in Leipzig or remote within Germany (the role requires occasional travel to our Leipzig HQ).

What Will Your Role Be

You'll join the Product Discovery team - the squad that shapes how customers explore, search, and find the right product. We own the full discovery journey: search, curated collections, product listing pages (PLPs), and product detail pages (PDPs), all powered by our Product Information Management (PIM) system. Our work directly influences whether a customer finds the right product at the right moment - and in a made-to-order world, that moment matters enormously.

What You´ll Do

  • Build and evolve our search experience - autocomplete, faceted filtering, results display, and zero-results handling
  • Develop and maintain PLPs and PDPs, ensuring fast, accurate, and engaging product presentation at scale
  • Integrate with our PIM system to render rich, structured product data reliably across all discovery surfaces
  • Own and improve curation tooling that enables merchandisers to craft compelling collections and campaigns
  • Optimize Core Web Vitals and perceived performance across high-traffic discovery pages
  • Collaborate with backend engineers, data scientists, and search specialists to bring relevance and personalization features to life
  • Contribute to frontend architecture decisions - component design, rendering strategies (SSR, SSG, ISR), and scalability
  • Work in an agile cross-functional squad with designers, product managers, and analysts

Requirements

Do you have experience in UX?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React - component design, hooks, rendering strategies, and performance patterns

  • Experience building search or browse UX: autocomplete, filtering, facets, pagination, or similar discovery interfaces
  • Familiarity with e-commerce concepts: product catalogs, variants, attributes, and the data complexity that comes with them
  • Comfort with SSR frameworks such as Next.js and an understanding of how rendering choices affect UX and performance
  • Experience consuming REST or GraphQL APIs and working with structured, data-heavy backend responses
  • A keen eye for UI detail - you care about how things feel, not just whether they work
  • A product mindset: you connect your work to customer outcomes, not just technical delivery
  • Fluency in English

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Node.js for BFF layers or API middleware
  • Familiarity with AWS services for frontend delivery (CloudFront, S3, Lambda)

Benefits & conditions

Pulled from the full job description

  • Flexible schedule, * Flexibility & Trust: Take advantage of flexible working hours and remote work options within Germany, all based on mutual trust, ensuring a healthy work-life balance that suits your needs.
  • Time to Recharge: Enjoy 30 days of paid vacation and relish family-friendly working policies that cherish your precious moments with loved ones.
  • Transparency & Growth: Attend regular General Assemblies (GAs) to be part of our vision, knowing you contribute to a bright future. Benefit from our in-depth onboarding program and visit production sites in the Czech Republic to deepen your understanding of our operations.
