Frontend developer for Swedish top website

As a part of the UX team you will work closely with the designers here on hitta.se, trying out and implementing new design solutions. The team currently consists of 1 design lead, 1 part time designer and soon maybe You! You will work in a high phase iterative environment to improve the experience of nearly 4 million weekly users of Sweden's 3rd most visited site, hitta.se. A big focus for the faster and faster growing hitta.se is to find and adapt a uniform design across all different services that we provide. To do so we constantly try out new things in AB-tests and iterations, using Google Analytics to make data driven decisions.

hitta.se is currently using:

• Knockout.js, with babel (Yay ES6!).
• Sass, with BEM-syntax.
• Play framework, java controllers with groovy templates.
• Docker for dev environment

hitta.se aims to convert to:

• React.js, with babel and webpack.
• Node.js, with isomorphic rendering.

We are looking for:

• You who are eager to try new things and learn on the way.
• You who have an interest in usability and design.
• You who knows that understandable code is just as important as a understandable user interface.

Nice if you are used to working with:

• Some form of Javascript MVC
• Sass or Less
• Git

Awesome but not required:

• Experience in Java
• Experience with Docker
• Experience with Google Analytics
• Experience with DFP
• Experience with React
• Experience with Webpack

Looking forward to hearing from you!

hitta.se has a tech team of about 20 people working in one big room in the beautiful former KTH building near Odenplan. It is divided into several smaller teams. Each has a designated priority, so we have teams for search, database, maps, UX, apps and so forth. If they want to, developers can rotate between teams every quarter. Teams have a lot of freedom to chose the way they want to work.

Our primary products are web search and our mobile app. Most projects have short release cycles, with new features deployed frequently. A few projects are larger (such as migration projects) and go on for months.

We have adopted a pseudo-agile approach with a Kanban board with sticky notes on the wall. Every morning at 9.15 we have stand-ups, where developers get to tell their teams about their current work. We use Git to manage our code repositories and have a QA who controls testing and deployments. There is also a CTO who is involved in tech decisions, recruiting etc.

We have about 4 million unique users per week, so as a developer you can be sure that your code will be enjoyed by lots of people!
