Senior Front-end Software Engineer

Experience/Skills required:

What you will do

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work across multiple products in our portfolio (we currently have 5) to develop and improve features that directly address real-life problems in the supply chain operations.

• Work directly with a Product Manager and a Designer to understanding business cases and user needs and shape/design a solution together, consulting the rest of the team and Engineering Manager when necessary. We expect you to not only decide on how to implement things from the technical perspective, but brainstorm the PM or the Designer helping decide what the solution to the problem would even be.
• Collaborate with other developers to deliver complex solutions for automating or digitalising all sorts of processes in supply chain operations.
• Participate in technical design discussions. Produce technical documentation as needed in support of complex technical concepts, write ADRs for topics requiring complex decision making.
• Build web-application front-end using React, Storybook, Jest/Vitest, various managed services in AWS etc., possibly touching other areas on occasion, including back-end, CI/CD, infrastructure etc.
• Deliver code to production using CI/CD and best DevOps practices.
• Be involved in all phases of software development life cycle: implementing new features or changes to existing features, writing tests, fixing bugs/defects, doing code reviews, deploying to production, responding to incidents etc.
• Occasionally help other teams working on other products if they happen to have a particularly challenging case or a tight deadline.

Hard skills we require

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• 2+ years of experience in developing web apps with React.
• Strong experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Familiar with current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, security and usability.
• Strong advocate for testing, experience with modern testing frameworks and best practices.
• Knowledge of front-end development tools such as pre-processors, task runners, bundlers, etc.
• Experience with CI/CD best practices to build, test and ship your code fast.

Soft skills we value

• Strong Communication: You can explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaboration: You thrive in a team environment, valuing input from others and contributing to shared goals and work closely as a remote team.
• Adaptability: You’re comfortable with change and can pivot quickly when priorities shift.
• Problem-Solving: You approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset, a sense of curiosity and a strong determination to investigate, research, and thoroughly understand the problem initially, followed by validating the solution.
• Empathy: You understand the needs and concerns of teammates and customers, fostering a supportive work environment.
• Proactiveness & Sense of ownership: You take initiative and identify/propose areas for improvements (both functional and technical) to make the product better, instead of relying on constant direction.

Nice to haves

• Server-side JavaScript experience with technologies such as NodeJS.
• Experience working with backend engineers to define APIs and data models.
• Experience with monitoring tools.

What you will love about us

• An inspiring environment working together with the brightest software engineers in truly international team across Europe. Our hiring philosophy is “We seek out people who would be among the best you’ve ever worked with”. That requirement of course applies to you too, but also guarantees that the team you join is going to be top tier.
• We’re truly agile. No fancy methodology cargo cult. We use elements of common agile practices to the extent that they are useful to us, adapting our way of working based on what the team feels is right for the moment.
• Work full-time with flexible hours and remotely in the country you are hired in.
• An entrepreneurial environment with immediate responsibility and a chance to make a difference from the day 1. No-one’s going to give you detailed requirements and prescriptive designs for a feature. You are a part of the solution. You will be working directly with a Product Manager and a Designer (maybe even interacting with customers at times) to understand the business case, customer needs and shape a solution together. If you prefer working with fully detailed requirements in Jira, engineering roles at Covantis might not be the best fit for you.
• Unlimited individual growth opportunities and the ability to create a personalized career path. Many of our team members have successfully transitioned from QA to Software Engineering, from Back-end to Full Stack, and from Engineering to Management. We actively support professional development by matching individuals with the right opportunities and initiatives to expand their knowledge and maximize their impact. Plus, we provide a generous learning and development (L&D) budget to support continuous learning and career advancement.
• Our company comprises amazing people, a supportive atmosphere and a culture built on mutual support, respect and care for people, that can only happen in a fun and rewarding workplace built by the kind of people Covantis employs.
• Innovative project transforming the supply chain operations for the entire industry, with big name clients and exposure to cutting edge emerging technologies.
