Senior JavaScript Frontend Developer (m/f)

Front-End is a big deal at smava. Our organization understands nurture and emphasize the role of FE as one of the core drivers of the overall product success.
We as engineers think about decoupling the UI development from the application layer. Pushing the business logic out of the Front-End and driving the Back-End architecture which can support scalability of the React environments.

The BFF (Back-End for Front-End) concept is a default mid-layer between our client apps and the Microservices which run in the background. It’s written in Node.js and is something you will contribute to as well. We try not to include the unnecessary 3rd party dependencies, while not reinventing the wheel all the time.

Being part of smava means… Being part of the community of passionate engineers who are either already at the expert level or are growing towards it. Our team consists of OSS contributors and maintainers, FE bloggers, musicians… we love what we do and managed to bring the fun into building the online loan comparison platform. Join us!
