Senior Frontend Developer
We’re looking for someone within the UTC 0 to UTC +2 time zones.
Our mission
At Mimo, we believe that coding can open doors to careers and opportunities like few other skills. We aim to provide the most accessible and enjoyable way to learn to code while providing our learners the tools to become creators on our platform.
About the team
We're looking for a Senior/Principal frontend developer to join our cross-functional growth team. You’ll develop and maintain Mimo on the web, focusing on implementing engaging coding lessons, enhancing the user experience, optimizing performance, and integrating new features to help us provide our users with the most accessible and enjoyable way to learn to code and become a software creator.
Tech Stack
Our tech stack includes a web app built with React, TailwindCSS, Next.js, and XState.
What you’ll be doing
- You’ll use TypeScript and React to design, build, and ship major user-facing engagement features in collaboration with product managers, designers, and developers.
- You’ll own features end-to-end, from planning and implementing to shipping and optimizing.
- You’ll drive business impact by securing a fluid user experience and a smooth page speed.
You’ll thrive in this role if
- You’re a seasoned developer. You have 4+ years of experience as a frontend developer shipping features for large-scale and real-time applications using Typescript and React, building consumer-facing products.
- You’re a product-minded engineer. You’ll foster this mindset by sharing knowledge and ideas as well as challenging what’s already there.
- You have a bias for action. You have a strong sense of urgency, and when you see a problem, you solve it. You don't have time to waste on analysis paralysis and prefer to learn from your mistakes as you go.
- You're passionate about creating fast, smooth, and user-friendly web experiences. You have a keen eye for web performance and enjoyable user experiences.
- You care about code quality. You follow engineering best practices, such as code reviews, to ensure and maintain excellent application performance and code quality.
- You pay excellent attention to detail. You’ll put the user first and care deeply about the details when reasoning trade-offs.
- You have a sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem entirely rather than simply shipping a solution. You operate autonomously and follow through on your commitments.
How we work
- We ask you to be in the time zone UTC ±0 to UTC +2 for this role.
- If you’re located outside this time zone range and want to move to the company’s official headquarters in Austria, we’ll handle the work permit process and cover travel expenses.
- If you prefer to work outside your home, we offer a physical location in Vienna and co-working stipends in other cities.
- We love working async. You can set your own pace and schedule.
Our global perks and benefits
- We have a remote-first mentality and give everyone a home-office budget.
- 25 days of paid vacation in addition to your local public holidays and paid sick leave.
- We sponsor team retreats throughout Europe and remote-friendly activities, like hack weeks and coffee breaks.
- To further develop yourself, use our €1k growth budget for books, online courses, conferences, or anything else that supports your development.
- To give our menstruating team members the time off to cater to their health when needed during their menstrual cycle, we offer up to 2 days of paid menstrual leave per month.
- Depending on your level, your annual gross salary will be €74k (Senior), or €87k (Principal) gross annually, which will automatically increase by 5% yearly. No questions asked.
- The chance to build a world-class product, positively impact millions of aspiring developers, and be a virtual owner of the company with equity (phantom stock).
