We’re looking for a Mid to Senior level Frontend Developer to join a cross-functional delivery team with different nationalities, backgrounds and experience levels. All team members collaborate to deliver solutions that best satisfy the needs of our business and we are working to create a culture that encourages new ideas and innovation but within the boundaries of the technologies that best suit the vision that Springer Nature has defined.
The team sits within the Health & Professional domain in Springer Nature, and is responsible for building tools and services for doctors and professionals and support the business partners to achieve their goals.
We strive to continually improve user journeys; allowing customers to discover, access, and consume content and using elearning in a way that suits them. Our customer-centric approach is fundamental to the way we work.
Your background will have been in frontend development, having gained knowledge of a wide range of methodologies and technologies. Familiarity with Node.js and Express is a plus but not a requirement for the role - our primary focus is always the user, not the technology.
You should be comfortable working at scale on complex, long-lived systems (where robustness and maintainability take priority over the latest technology), providing incremental improvements to existing applications as well as designing and building new features - both within our Node.js applications and the browser via UI components. Experience working with design systems is a plus.
You will regularly be communicating and collaborating with multiple teams, seeking out the areas you can provide the most value. Working with your peers in the Frontend community, you will contribute to frontend practices and technology that improve user experience across the business. You should be experienced working with people from different backgrounds and seniority levels, and be comfortable having conversations around technology choices; being able to influence those discussions with knowledge of, and reference to, good frontend practices and ways of working.
The job is based in Berlin and you will routinely work remotely with colleagues in London, Berlin and Dordrecht.
