Frontend Engineer for George (all humans)

We are part of Erste Group – the largest banking group in Central and Eastern Europe with more than 2,500 branches and over 45,000 employees. Our more than 2,000 IT experts and enthusiasts are the bank's Digital Muscle.

Almost 10 million people across Europe organize their personal finances with George. Where design meets technology, George stands out on an open platform. We invite you to develop this platform with us into the next dimension. We achieve this by empowering people to understand, manage and, last but not least, enjoy one of their most personal things: their money. Join us in our agile environment and make banking simple, intelligent and personal again!

What to do:

Your idea of a perfect offsite would be to perform code reviews with other developers. As our Frontend Engineer, you will implement new features for the George banking platform, and when needed, change and extend existing features. You’ll collaborate closely with business analysts in specking new features, initiate test coverage for existing features, and help bring innovative and delightful designs to life. We’re looking for mindful, empathetic, and self-aware engineers to join our team and make George shine for the user.

You check these boxes:

• Several years of experience building single page web applications
• Fluency in web development technologies with a good feel for what is and is not possible
• A bag-full of JavaScript (ES6), ReactJS, and Git skills; some TypeScript knowledge is also welcome
• Ninja-like skills of refactoring and working with legacy code
• Understanding the value of TDD, BDD and testing frameworks (Jest, Mocha, Jasmine) as a way to deliver software of higher value
• You love improving the design of existing code

Why you will like us:

• We’re a team of experienced developers who love to exchange ideas and push the boundaries
• We provide a relaxed, professional environment and all the hardware & software you need to work efficiently (e.g. MacBook Pro, mobile device, licenses...)
• We're open minded, and always keen to stand up and go the extra mile for the correct solution
• We care for your personal well-being and career development while actively supporting your educational needs
• We encourage regular conference visits and multiple chances to shine with George
• New Work is not just another buzz word to us. We proactively adapt to the ever-changing work environment of today
• Working from home, virtual office, working while riding a bike. What ever and how ever you do your best work to make George shine, is fine by us.
• A competitive and performance-related salary dependent on your professional and personal qualifications is granted - we are obliged by law to quote the minimum wage of CZK 81 000,- gross per month for this full time position. But this is just a formality, we are more than happy to discuss your actual expectations.

The way we are

As an employee of Erste Digital, the success of our people is more than a motto, it’s our manifest. We nurture a work environment where age, skin colour, gender, sexual orientation and cultural background are seen as the key to our success – we live diversity!
