What you will do

You’ll be working on our Web platform and contribute to how our customers and partners experience Tiqets.com. You will make sure the main website is fast, especially on mobile devices. You’ll keep the codebase clean and maintainable.

We believe that development is a people-oriented process. You’ll work closely with the product owner, designer and back-end engineers of your team. We work in an agile way, learning from the needs of our customers and partners, and adapting to them.

Here are some real examples of the work we’ve done lately that might help you get an idea of what you’d do:

• Build and maintain a library of components inside an Nx monorepo to be used across different applications and domains.

• Plan and implement A/B tests

• Keep a technical debt backlog, and ensure it’s paid

• Work with the operations team to create new pipelines in Gitlab CI for our frontend

• Upgrade our accessibility & performance by improving important metrics with the help of Lighthouse.

• Use Sentry to keep our website bug-free and debug any issues

Tiqets is constantly modernising. So, here are some examples of things you might do in the near future:

• Improve our Monorepo pipeline to speed up and unify development

• Create a Datadog dashboard to monitor the errors & performance for your newly created frontend

This is a sample of what we do, but we don't have all the answers. Your experience and background will join ours and shape the tasks that you’ll handle.

What we are looking for:

We’re looking for someone with relevant technical skills and experience in e-commerce products. You understand that development is about picking the right trade-offs, and not about building the perfect system.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience.

• At least 2 years of professional experience as a developer working in an agile product development environment.

• You’ve developed for different platforms and device sizes. Most of our traffic is mobile. Performance and ease of use is very important for us, and for you.

• Our frontend stack is Typescript,React and Vanilla CSS. Our backend is Flask and Django. We use Jinja for HTML templating. We expect you to have experience with at least some of the technologies we use – and be willing to learn the rest.

• Able to translate requirements into well-designed technical solutions and effective communication skills

• Living in the Netherlands/EU region
