Frontend Engineer

As our engineering team is growing, we are looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to join one of our Copenhagen based feature teams. Peakon teams own their roadmap, operate independently and include engineering, UI/UX design, and product management.

The tech stack of Peakon centers around JavaScript, with Node.js on the server and React on the frontend. We rely on a rigorous suite of automated tests, and deploy to our AWS environment daily. We believe in a strong foundation and building things right from the start, making our Peakon company value “Build for tomorrow, today” a guiding principle for the Engineering team.

We welcome your application even if you do not meet all of the criteria listed below, but are excited about the challenge of mastering this role. We know that skills are not static and growth is continuous, so we are happy to help you take your career to the next level at Peakon.

About the job

Your focus will be to develop and evolve the Peakon frontend application, and the tools surrounding it. You will be implementing new features and products, creating delightful user experiences in close collaboration with Peakon UX/UI designers.

You will be a contributor in technical discussions within the frontend team, working closely with peers and participating in setting the technical direction for the frontend architecture.

About you

• You are curious, you want to know how stuff works and enjoy solving tricky problems.
• You follow the latest trends in the React/JavaScript ecosystem and bring new ideas to the table.
• You are open to opinions of others and constructively discuss solutions to find the best one.
• You are a team player and it comes natural to you to collaborate with your colleagues on team deliverables.
• You have experience with large React based applications and know what it takes to navigate yourself in the codebase.
• You are you! We want you to bring your true self to work, so you can help us shape the engineering culture at Peakon!

This is how your day will look like

You will:

• be a member of our cross-functional team, developing manager facing features,
• contribute to our React codebase and extend our library with testable, accessible and reusable components,
• Review other engineer’s code and discuss the best solution for the occasion,
• cooperate with designers, the team’s product manager and QAs,
• participate in discussions with other engineers about the future of front-end at Peakon.

Our company

We’re a team driven by the belief that we can radically change the world of work. We believe that when an organisation listens to employee feedback and empowers every employee to drive the change they want to see, it can create more fulfilling jobs and grow in ways never before imagined.

We’re in the business of creating great places to work, so it should be no surprise that this is our highest priority at Peakon. With ambitions as big as ours, we see individual growth and development as the key strategy for growing our business.

Trust and transparency guide everything we do. At Peakon you’ll find an open salary model, unlimited vacation, and autonomy to execute your own ideas. Our style of collaboration is based on honesty and friendship, and we always love making new friends.

Our tech

We make it a priority to stay on the cutting edge of tech. We are highly motivated by learning and growing in our roles, and constantly evolving is a key part of that.

We believe there is great value in a shared toolchain, which is why our stack centers around JavaScript. Some tasks are better solved with different tools, and thus we use f.ex. Python for the data science parts of the system. We are primarily hosted on Heroku and AWS, with an increasing number of our services moving to the latter. We use PostgreSQL (through RDS), Redis and ElasticSearch for storage.

We rely heavily on automated testing on all levels of the application, with thousands of tests checking every commit to our code base. We use CircleCI for hosted continuous integration to make sure our most recent changes are always available to test, and we deploy code to our production environment on a daily basis.
