You will work with a small team of talented Front-End Developers, collaborating closely with the UI Platform team, Designers, Product Managers, and other stakeholders to create robust, scalable, and reusable UI components and patterns. Your expertise in front-end development, particularly in React.js, React Native, Material-UI (MUI), and theming, will drive the evolution of our Design System and UI framework, ensuring consistency, performance, and maintainability across our web and react native applications.

Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including UX/UI Designers, Product Managers, and Back-end Developers, to understand requirements, define technical solutions, and ensure seamless integration with backend systems.
 
Architectural Design: Contribute to the architectural design and technical roadmap of our front-end applications, advocating for scalable and maintainable solutions. Evaluate new technologies and frameworks to improve development efficiency and user experience.
 
Quality Assurance: Establish and enforce coding standards, best practices, and testing strategies to ensure high-quality and performant code. Conduct code reviews, automated testing, and performance optimization to maintain a high level of reliability and user satisfaction.
 
Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Create and maintain technical documentation, guidelines, and patterns for the UI framework. Facilitate knowledge-sharing sessions and workshops to onboard new team members and promote continuous learning.

What we can offer you

You will be part of the UI Framework team and Digital channels eco-system. We are a team of Developers, Testers, UX, BA, and Architects who work together to create great results. We are of course using the latest technologies delivering a modern microservice-based service platform hosted in the cloud. We use agile methods and are adopting the DevOps model.

Furthermore, we offer a solid benefits package, flexible work arrangements, and possibilities to grow.
 

Our main hub and headquarters are in Lindholmen Science Park in Gothenburg, in the heart of a vibrant area that lives and breathes new technology like IoT, autonomous driving, electro-mobility, and digitalization.  

 

Your profile

Most important of all is your personality and desire to drive a concept and refinement work supporting our goals. We believe that you have a university degree in a relevant field and several years of experience in complex front-end development. You will encounter challenges and complexities daily. The ability to approach problems analytically, break them down into manageable components, and devise creative solutions is crucial.
 

Experience in the automotive industry is considered beneficial, as well as experience within a field close to or within front-end development frameworks and tools.
