Expert Engineer Frontend

We exist to unleash the power of the self-employed - helping solopreneurs and micro-businesses thrive by doing what they're passionate about and removing the complexity of building lasting, successful businesses.

Jimdo started in 2007 when three school friends built a website builder in a Northern German farmhouse to help everyone build a presence online. Today, we're a profitable, remote-first company with 220+ people from 50+ nationalities working across 15+ countries. We've helped build over 36 million websites to get online across the world.

We're more than just a website builder. We're an AI-powered platform that helps self-employed people actually run and build successful businesses — from getting found online, winning customers and running their business with a peace of mind by knowing exactly what to do next to move forward.

At the heart of Jimdo is a strong belief in personalized, data-driven guidance. Our platform combines design, business tools, and an AI-powered core that turns real customer data into clear insights and next steps helping our customers focus on what moves their business forward.

As an Expert Engineer (Frontend), you’ll provide architectural leadership across our frontend ecosystem. This is a senior individual contributor role with high impact and visibility.

You’ll shape system-level decisions across our monorepo — from build tooling and bundling strategies to testing infrastructure and shared libraries — while partnering closely with product, design, and engineering teams.

This role is less about pixel-perfect UI and more about data flow, system reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability. You’ll simplify legacy systems, drive migrations, improve developer experience, and mentor other engineers — all while contributing hands-on to a large-scale TypeScript and React codebase.

• Lead the design and evolution of scalable frontend architectures across our monorepo

• Own and improve build pipelines, bundling strategies, CI/CD processes, and testing infrastructure

• Drive migration strategies for legacy systems and reduce architectural complexity

• Improve performance, bundle size, build health, and test reliability

• Mentor engineers, conduct thoughtful code reviews, and raise frontend quality standards

• Collaborate with Product, Design, and other Engineering teams to balance platform thinking with product delivery

• Represent frontend engineering in strategic technical discussions and roadmap planning

• 6+ years of frontend engineering experience, including 2+ years in a senior or technical leadership role

• Strong expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

• Deep hands-on experience with build tools (e.g., webpack), module systems, and frontend CI/CD

• Strong understanding of frontend testing strategies (unit, integration, end-to-end) and quality standards

• Proven experience in system design and frontend architecture at scale

• A mentorship mindset with strong communication and collaboration skills

• Experience with monorepos, performance optimization, accessibility, or legacy migrations is a plus

• Experience with AI Tools and Agentic Best Coding Practices
