Junior Frontend Developer
Remote (Poland)
ABOUT THIS TEAM
Our product is an in-house CV builder, for both desktop and mobile devices. It allows users to easily glide through the process of document creation and customization, to reflect their previous work experience and aspirations for future career development. Furthermore, we’re constantly developing a variety of useful tools, such as personalized job offers, document feedback and mock interviews, to aid our customers’ journey even more. Our app is built with React 17 (soon to be 18) + Typescript combo, using popular libraries such as Redux 4.2 (with Toolkit), React Router 6 and many more. We manage our own components library (using Storybook) and maintain substantial test coverage (Cypress, soon Playwright). Feel free to reach out and ask any questions regarding our tech stack, we’ll be happy to answer

Our app development cycle consists of
- Product team develops business requirements – provides them as an A/B test if applicable.
- Design team prepares the UI as Figma designs, as the UX gets refined.
- Tasks are presented during bi-weekly meetings, introduced to sprints on a weekly basis.
- Engineering team implements the feature, deploys it to the testing environment.
- QA team verifies new features, cross-reference with the business requirements.
- After QA performs regression and signs off on all tasks from the given sprint, the app gets deployed – most often on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
