Silverfin

Senior JavaScript Developer


If you’re any good at JavaScript, this is probably not the first job ad you’ve seen, so we’ve done our best to stand out while also accurately presenting what we’re all about.

What are we looking for?

  • You have at least 5 years of professional experience in JavaScript / TypeScript
  • You have substantial experience using JavaScript framework(s), understand the value of them, but also know when plain JavaScript is enough
  • You are proficient with the component based architecture paradigm
  • You’re up for mentoring coworkers and can give in-depth, productive feedback during code reviews. While you appreciate the small stuff, you recognize bikeshedding and can avoid its pitfalls
  • You code with reason and can justify the important decisions you made during development
  • You can communicate clearly in English, both written and verbally
  • You can take the lead on deciding JavaScript best practices. That means the usual like testing, and refactoring; but also higher level concepts such as separation of concerns
  • You're aware of the trade-offs involved in engineering, product design, as well as the bigger “business” picture
  • You’ve got opinions on code design and you can discuss them, but you’re professional enough to not let those opinions get in the way of a consensus if necessary
  • Your work hours have some overlap with EU business hours (we require your local timezone to be within CET +/- 3h)

Nice to have’s

  • Experience as a remote worker in a fully remote team
  • Experience with Rails, or other backend frameworks
  • Experience with TypeScript
  • Experience with Tailwind CSS
  • Experience working with a design system
  • An eye for detail

These would be nice but are definitely not necessary. Don’t worry if none of the following applies to you.

What can we offer you?

  • Actual, proper work-life balance
  • A salary range of €99,363.18 - €134,432.54 a year
  • Choose your own working hours and work 100% remotely
  • Personal growth training and opportunities
  • Join a distributed remote-first engineering team with 30+ colleagues in 10+ different countries
  • A refreshing work environment with professional, friendly and welcoming colleagues
  • A €1000 yearly budget for conferences, courses, workshops or other expenses that will improve your skills
  • For the fourth year in a row, we offer monthly company-wide Wellbeing Days for all employees (once a month in 2024, except in July and August)
