Job description

In this role, you will go beyond building standard user-facing features to focus on critical internal platform architecture. You will work within a lean, agile team to bridge frontend development with backend systems, transforming how internal engineers interact with, validate, and secure core data pipelines. ... Your Impact

  • Platform Innovation: Build and scale developer-facing tools and dashboards from scratch to manage data contracts at the code level.
  • Infrastructure Safeguards: Protect downstream systems (like recommendation engines) by implementing code-level guardrails against data incidents.
  • Capacity Expansion: Act as a critical accelerator for a tight-knit core team, driving rapid prototyping during an essential discovery MVP phase.
  • Cross-Functional Tooling: Balance frontend utility with data engine awareness to deliver seamless internal developer experiences.

Requirements

  • Experience Level: Senior-level expertise with a strong background in Platform Engineering rather than strictly feature-based development.
  • Core Technicals: High expertise in JavaScript, which is the primary technical focus and team skill gap (Role is focused more on Frontend).
  • Backend & Data: Comfortable managing backend tasks and general cloud infrastructure. Familiarity with Java and general data engineering practices is a strong plus.
  • AI Integration: Familiarity with AI coding assistance tools to optimize development workflows.
  • Logistics & Duration: 6-month contract, location-agnostic within Europe (with a strong time zone preference for London or Stockholm). Ability to start immediately.
