Some have it all, they say. But you really do

Sure, you're a Frontend Engineer, but you're also someone who sees the bigger picture. You’re creative, precise and know your way around frameworks like Vue and Nuxt. You don’t consider yourself a full-stack engineer, but you're more than capable of holding your own in technical discussions about API schemas or broader architectural decisions. Sound familiar? Then you might just be the person we're looking for.

Your job in a nutshell

You might start your morning by finalising a pull request that improves SSR performance on our homepage, to ensure the page stays lightning fast, even during peak traffic. After a quick check-in with another Frontend Engineer, you join a discussion about an upcoming A/B test for a new filter feature. You align on technical direction, then jump into a fix for a small UI bug at a specific breakpoint. There’s always time for lunch and afterwards you jump right into a review of a few PRs.

Your responsibilities

At Funda, you write quality code that directly impacts millions of users looking for their next home. So we are searching for someone who has these superpowers:

• Build and maintain interfaces used by millions of users.
• Collaborate with your product team (design, backend, QA, product) in a Scrum environment.
• Review and give feedback on PRs.
• Contribute to company-wide frontend architecture and standards: our component library (built with RekaUI) and own AppShell.
• Communicate with stakeholders to find the balance between product goals and performance budgets.
• Monitor and improve performance (e.g. through Core Web Vitals).
• Contribute to knowledge sharing, both within your team and across the frontend guild.
• Knowledge of all the ins and outs of our component library and AppShell, and you’re not shy about suggesting improvements or keeping an eye on performance.

The team

You’ll be part of a cross-functional product team (5–8 people) working closely with designers, product managers, backend engineers and QA. You’ll also regularly collaborate with the broader frontend team to maintain shared packages and shape frontend strategy across Funda.

Working at Funda is very rewarding! You work with a team of passionate people on a modern tech stack. The features you build are used by millions of people, and together with the frontend team you have the space to work on the architecture. There’s always something interesting to dive into!
