Job description

Thus, our customers have access to several hundred million items, which we display in the form of products in our content catalog.
One of our unique challenges is to structure and enhance this inventory to provide our customers with the best product-overview of the entire e-commerce market. Therefore, we provide a variety of services for product creation and maintenance along the product-lifecycle. The next big challenge for us is the continuous automation of product curation in AWS.
You want to make a difference and help shape the e-commerce experience of our customers? Then you've come to the right place!
The position as (Senior) Frontend Engineer (f|m|x) is advertised as a full-time or part-time position limited to 1 year (for a limited period of time) or a maximum of the duration of parental leave.

- Your team is part of our agile product development process, and you develop new features in short release cycles.
- New challenges require new insights. Hence, you enjoy learning quickly and closely with your product team to bring value to your partners.
