Junior Frontend Engineer

About the Role

We’re looking for a Junior Frontend Engineer who likes the challenge of working through customer problems end to end, asking the right questions and pushing our software in the right direction iteratively in a collaborative team to deliver value for our users.

Technologies you’ll work with: We use Vue.JS on the frontend with Typescript, combined with TailwindCSS, Github actions and NPM, Webpack etc. FYI, our backend is an API-first application written in PHP and Laravel.

Our documentation: You can take a look at our website widget, REST API, sidebar apps, custom channels and flowbots at https://developers.trengo.com/.

About Trengo

At Trengo, we believe in a world where technology empowers the relationship between companies and their customers. That’s why our mission is to build an AI-powered customer engagement platform to replace repetitive work with meaningful conversations. How do we do that? Our software makes it easy for customer-facing teams to communicate with customers via multiple channels, all in one shared inbox. Email, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, live-chat, you name it. With a Series A investment of $36M led by Insight Partners and Peak Capital and becoming one of the four official WhatsApp Business Solutions Providers in the Netherlands, we empower our customers to scale their businesses and optimize the channels their clients truly prefer.

What you’ll do

Building new features: As part of engineering you’ll use technology to solve our customers problems, working closely with other engineers, the product manager and designer to plan, architect and implement on our new offerings. You’ll iterate with the team and help maintain the codebase, so we can move quickly.

Contribute to the technical foundation: Knowing when to apply effort for an MVP vs building something future proof is how we innovate. Our work today can make our future work better as we aim to build a flexible foundation that we can adapt as we scale.

Collaborate cross functionally: As a frontend engineer, you work closely and collaborate with our designers, so you can focus on development, working together to make sure we solve the right problem.

What you bring on the table

• You’ve been in the middle of the action when a digital/tech-focused company scaled up. We are always balancing the need to move fast and build for the long term, so we’re seeking those who thrive in this environment.

• Javascript/Typescript with any modern front-end framework (Vue, React, Angular etc). Experience with Vue is a plus.

• You are used to converting beautiful Figma or Sketch designs into state-of-the-art and pixel-perfect front-end components.

• You are able to work independently and stand behind your own decisions (not in a hierarchical way, but rather in a critical way).

• You are resourceful. You know what I mean, you're an engineer. On top of that, we aim to divide the knowledge in the team as much as possible.

• An inclusive approach to your work, you are just as helpful and collaborative as us. We have a good thing going on in our tech team and would like a kind person to join us.

What's in it for you

This is what we carefully prepared for you:

• Finding yourself in a fast-growing company where your career can evolve. With the help of your number one supporter, your manager, you will follow our departmental growth tracks to pursue the career you want. This is one of the reasons for our positive Glassdoor reviews (4/5).

• We really value flexibility and trust our people. That’s why we work hybrid, and our people can work from abroad for 60 days per year.

• Free sessions with on-demand psychologists from OpenUp. Your mental health is important to us.

• An education budget to feed your curiosity and 2 extra days off for your courses or conferences, if needed.

• 28 vacation days to rest, have fun, and travel as you wish!

• Internet and phone allowance every month!

• Fancy learning Dutch? We also offer Dutch courses for our international employees!

• When you work from our beautiful office: you can bet we have delicious warm lunches together prepared by our in-house chef and workplace experience team. Also, your traveling expenses to Utrecht will be reimbursed.

Please note: For this role, we do not offer a relocation assistance and/or VISA sponsorship for candidates who reside outside of the Netherlands.
