• You will play a key role in designing and building the features your team will ship to our customers, both from a technical and a product standpoint. You can learn how we do this in this article by Claire, frontend engineer at Qonto.
• You will be part of a team that is driven by quality. All written technical documents are reviewed and challenged by peers before implementation. We aim at delivering “Right First Time” (no QA returns), and everyone in the team shares this ambition.
• You will bring your energy and skills to improve the team’s tools and processes, at many levels, contributing to a better developer experience for all your peers.

🤝 Challenges for you & your future team

• Our web apps were developed using the Ember.js framework, and we have released several open-source JavaScript libraries but…
• The Frontend team just started a migration to React. Now is an exciting time to join, especially if you want to hone your expertise in React over the coming years!
• In order to accelerate our migration process, you will use AI-powered tools such as Dust, GitHub Copilot, and more.
• Not familiar with React or Ember? No problem, we got you covered with pair-programming and dedicated time to learn React through an interactive course.
🏅About You
To succeed as a Frontend Engineer at Qonto, you will need to demonstrate:
1. Proficiency in frontend engineering: you have at least three years of professional experience using an open-source JavaScript framework, as well as HTML and CSS. We don’t use CSS libraries such as Tailwind, so you will need to know how to react pure CSS.
2. Attention to detail: you strive for excellence in every aspect of your job. You don’t gloss over minor issues and you understand that great work is the accumulation of many small things done right.
3. Communication skills: you explain your thoughts in a clear, organized, concise and accurate manner.
At Qonto we understand that true diversity isn't just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick! Who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we've been looking for all along.
