At InterNations, we’re dedicated to making life easier for expats! With about 1.9 million members in 390 cities around the world, InterNations is the largest global network and information site for people who live and work abroad. What started as just an idea is now changing the lives of expats and global minds around the world each and every day. With an international team who’ve often lived abroad themselves, we understand what our members need most and we all work towards a shared goal. Together, we’re constantly growing and learning, coming up with new ways for our members to feel more at home and connect with other international people in their communities.

About the role

Location: Munich, Germany

Our engineering teams architect, develop and test our social network. As a Junior Frontend Developer, you will be responsible for building awesome frontends, assuring their quality and running them in a production environment in an interdisciplinary team of different specialists.

As a Junior Frontend Developer at InterNations, you will:

• implement and architect web frontends in HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a Scrum team and cover code with automated tests
• test their code with automated tests
• take part in inventing, documenting and implementing our UX pattern library
• work with Product Management on the feasibility of upcoming changes

You fulfill the following requirements:

• you like clean HTML and CSS, especially HTML5 and CSS3
• you could do JavaScript without a framework, but you prefer using one
• we use Backbone (and soon React native), but it is not necessary to have experience with it
• you care about consistency of design and dislike having ten different buttons on a single page
• everyone hates Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer hates you (and we only need to support IE 9+)
• you like fast web applications and know how to optimize them
• you’ve worked with one or multiple template engines
• you want to learn new things: technology, practices, user interactions

Don’t worry if you don’t feel comfortable with one of the points listed above. We will show you how it works.

We offer:

• top-notch MacBook, 27” display, keyboard layout of choice
• a fast-growing, dynamic company with international scope
