Who you are
We want a Web Developer who loves what
they do. You are passionate about web standards and keep abreast of new
developments in our industry. You always look for opportunities to improve your
skills. You like to show off what you’re working on and also learn from others.
You have strong attention to detail and value the design of a product as much
as you value the code. You have strong communication skills and maybe even blog
once in a while. You’re aware of the latest CSS techniques but also know the
limitations that developing for a broad audience can bring – actually, you
embrace the challenge.

and web apps using the latest incarnations of HTML, CSS (SCSS) and Javascript
(React and TypeScript)

output remains high and consistent across our whole product portfolio

according to specification and in compliance with our web style guide
