This is what you tell people at parties 👋

I work at one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe. We have a high-performing environment and we get rewarded for all of our wins. We even made it to the list of the Financial Times top 1000 fastest growing companies. Together with Sendcloud, I am on a mission to empower businesses with world-class shipping. With more than 23,000 customers throughout Europe, and soon beyond, Sendcloud is the leading shipping solution in Europe.

Who are we looking for? 🧐

As a front-end developer, you will take part in architectural and design decisions together with UX designers, back-end developers, and other front-end developers to build accessible, performant, and beautiful user interfaces. Providing a good user experience is a core value of our front-end team. Part of your daily work at Sendcloud is a strong collaboration with our UX designers to create easy-to-use, accessible, and performant user interfaces. Sendcloud integrates various carriers and online stores in a fast and intuitive tool. While releasing early and often, we keep high standards for code quality and test automation. Ultimately, our responsibility lies in improving our users’ experience.

Work on our product is split across 4 domains, each with 2 - 3 cross-functional feature teams, focusing on different parts of our platform: 

• Domain Scaling: focused on integration and interaction with our clients’ e-commerce systems on one side, and support of Sendcloud’s internal teams like finance, operations, marketing, and customer support, on the other side.
• Domain Delivery Experience: focused on improving the end-user experience with the checkout process, tracking and tracing of shipped parcels, and handling returns. 
• Domain Efficiency: deals with data generated through a shipping process and efficiently processing an order into shipment within the workflow. 
• Domain Carierrland: responsible for interacting with logistics service providers in order to optimize the process of carrier integration. 

Apart from the above-mentioned, we have a Platform domain whose focus is to handle deployments and operations of our software, making sure our production is secure and stable. In there, our shared services team is responsible for building the accounts and authentication system and a large number of shared libraries used for integration. Also, the API enablement team is responsible for the maintenance and configuration of the API developer portal as an offering towards feature teams.
