A media company with millions of monthly visitors is looking for a Frontend Developer who loves making real impact. You will work on platforms everyone knows and have the space to deliver pixel perfect, performant and scalable work.


Company profile

This company is an independent publisher with a portfolio full of well known online brands. Think of sites that have dominated the Dutch internet for years, now getting a modern revamp. Within the tech department of 20 people, frontend, backend and app developers build products that reach millions of people every day. No agencies, no client work – here you build your own platforms.


The atmosphere is open, pragmatic and people focused. Lines are short, leadership is involved and developers have a say. There is room for autonomy, personal growth and smart ideas.


Role description

As a Frontend Developer you will build the frontends of high traffic platforms. You translate interaction designers’ work into accessible, blazing fast interfaces that are also strong from an SEO perspective. You collaborate closely with designers, backend developers and DevOps engineers, and you take ownership of complete modules or features.

You work with modern tooling (Tailwind, HTML5, JavaScript) and contribute to UX, performance and consistency within the design system. AI is increasingly integrated into projects, and your input helps shape how.


Requirements

You have 3+ years of experience as a Frontend Developer and feel comfortable in an environment with millions of users.

You can work independently, have an eye for detail and understand how frontend and media reinforce each other.


You are strong in:

  • HTML5, CSS (SASS, BEM or similar structures) and JavaScript without relying on frameworks
  • Performance optimization, accessibility and SEO
  • Pixel perfect implementation with a pragmatic mindset

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Tailwind, templating (Blade, Django, Go Templates) or WordPress (ACF)
  • Familiarity with design systems, component libraries like Storybook or test frameworks
  • Understanding of advertising driven websites or content platforms


What we offer

  • Salary between €4,000 and €5,500 gross per month more possible for seniority
  • 25 vacation days plus your birthday off
  • Travel allowance or full public transport reimbursement
  • Excellent pension scheme
  • Laptop Mac or Windows and phone allowance
  • Hybrid work 2 days per week
  • Flexible workspaces across the country
  • Realistic workload, loyal team and plenty of room for your own input
