Senior JavaScript Engineer (Front-end)

Full-time · Utrecht, The Netherlands

At Lab Digital, we create digital products for our clients. These are global e-commerce platforms, content websites or high-traffic middleware solutions. All based on cloud native technology, often in combination with headless SaaS products.

We have a passion for technology. We get excited about solving new challenges through an elegant approach with tech solutions that best fits the demand. We do this in multidisciplinary teams working for long-term, mostly international customers.

About the role

Many of the products we develop use React in combination with Next.js. We apply a component library approach and develop in collaboration with UX and design teams.

We have a strong focus on performance, both in consuming data from GraphQL services, and in generating the responses. A good user experience and excellent scores in web vitals / Lighthouse are essential for our field.

We are committed to delivering sustainable and high quality software. This means that we work with TypeScript and write extensive unit and integration tests using Jest and Cypress/Playwright. For the customer and the design team, we also build well documented component libraries with tools such as Storybook. We also have a strong focus on code reusability within, and across projects.

Our work takes place in sprints of 2 to 3 weeks, in teams consisting of (UX) designers, QA specialists, business analysts, solution architects, a scrum master, and a project manager. Within this team you are responsible for delivering high quality software together with the team and the client. For a larger client there are regularly multiple teams active, with teams looking to collaborate with one other.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience developing JavaScript/TypeScript applications with React.

  • Strong communicative skills both verbally and in writing (e.g. ability to deliver technical documentation).
  • You are able to write well-documented components with a clear and consistent API
  • Experience with styling solutions such as Styled Components, Emotion, CSS Modules, SCSS
  • Good knowledge of modern software development techniques (unit/integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, etc).
  • Server side rendering/static generation frameworks such as Next.js, Gatsby and Remix.run
  • Knowledge of build tooling such as Webpack, ESBuild, Vite and SWC.
Nice to have

  • Experience with building customer facing applications in the e-commerce domain
