There’s five of us wo are responsible for Blendle’s frontend

The result (the best online newsstand in the world, a search engine, our own social network, and a mini bank in a single application, and 600,000 users within eighteen months) is one to be proud of, but we’re not even close to being satisfied. We’re live in Germany, and we’re about to go live in the US, too. We can’t wait.

Our frontend isn’t half bad, if we may say so ourselves, but there’s plenty to be done still.And that’s where you come in: our all-round frontender. It’s pretty tricky to explain what we do in a nutshell, so feel free to drop by for the whole story! These are the most important keywords, anyway:

ES6

React.js

Webpack

Flux

Sass

Local CSS

You’ll be working on major projects in a scrum team with designers, backenders and other frontenders. And when we say major, we mean major. For example: implementing a micropayment button on one of the largest news sites in the world, or working on a flow for redeeming gift vouchers that will be sold in thousands of stores. We regularly mix our teams (for the sake of variation), communicate through Slack, and are insanely agile at everything we do – naturally.

Oh, we hate it if stuff breaks (surprise!), so we’ve developed an elaborate set of functional tests (Cucumber, Capybara, Selenium). Pull request OK’d? With a single click we send it off to production fully automatically.

Developers tell us they didn’t apply with us, because they assumed they wouldn’t be good enough. It often turned out they underestimated themselves.

Blendle HQ has coffee, milk to make cappuccino, cold water and hot water directly from the tap as well as a bunch of fun frontenders to talk to.
