Job Purpose

We’re seeking a Frontend Developer (mid-level) with experience in functional programming languages such as Effect TS, fp-ts, Scala, or similar to join our Internal Tools Team. You will focus on building and maintaining specialized applications to manage complex food graph data, directly impacting the tools that power our core operations.

As part of a small, dedicated team of two developers, you will have significant ownership and influence, working on both greenfield projects and legacy codebases, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.

We value practical skills and problem-solving ability over formal qualifications like years of experience and/or education. If you're passionate about writing quality code and enjoy working in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

• Refactor and maintain the existing client-side codebase (server-side development is greenfield).
• Develop full-stack features using TypeScript, React.js, and modern web technologies.
• Maintain and expand the React component library.
• Manage dependencies and ensure codebase health within a monorepo.
• Actively contribute to architectural decisions and evolve the codebase.
• Write and maintain comprehensive test coverage as needed.

Required Qualifications

Technical Requirements:

• A minimum of 2 years of experience in Software development as a Frontend Developer
• Strong practical experience with React.js.
• Advanced CSS skills, particularly with Flexbox and CSS Grid layouts.
• Hands-on experience with functional programming concepts (Effect ecosystem, fp-ts, Scala etc).
• Familiarity with reactive programming (RxJS is our legacy).
• Proven ability to write clean, modular TypeScript code (ES2023).
• Experience with modern testing frameworks (Jest/Vitest).
• Comfort working in a mono repo environment.

Desired Skills:

• Self-directed problem-solving approach.
• Excellent collaboration skills in a small team setting.
• Actual coding experience using the Effect/fp-ts ecosystem (https://effect.website/).
• Strong refactoring skills and attention to code quality.
• Ability to balance technical debt with delivery.

What We Offer

• 100% remote and flexible work schedule.
• A distributed team environment with opportunities for collaboration across time zones.
• The chance to contribute to building the #1 food platform, integrated with Samsung.
