Senior Frontend Engineer
About Zowie:
At Zowie, we believe that buying online should feel like walking into your favorite local shop: personal, friendly, and easy. Our mission is to recreate offline shopping experiences online - but better. Zowie brings speed and empathy to customer interactions. Our platform automates responses to repetitive questions around return policy, order status, etc., and saves time for customer service agents, who can then proactively turn website visitors into paying customers. It can work as an add-on with existing tools (Zendesk, Shopify, Gorgias, etc.) or become a standalone customer service platform.
We are:
๐ Growing fast. We plan on keeping the Team growing! Youโll have a lot of autonomy and impact as we grow.
๐ Like a sports team. We take ownership of our work and believe in personal accountability. At the same time, we work together, support each other, and focus on winning as a team.
๐งโ๐ป Remote-first and hours are flexible. We allow everyone to figure out the best ways to collaborate with their team. At the end of the day, it's about delivering! Those in Poland can work from our offices in Cracow and Warsaw.
We strive to be:
๐ช Ambitious and innovative. We donโt settle on existing solutions and keep looking for better ways to tackle challenges.
๐ป Bold and free-thinking. We trust our employees to find the best solutions.
๐คธโโ๏ธ Agile and high-performing. We work smarter, not harder. We use our OKRs to keep ourselves focused.
๐ค Unafraid of change. Zowie is growing, and the market is changing. We thrive in an ever-evolving environment.
What you'll do:
You will be joining our team as the 4-8th Frontend Engineer. But donโt be fooled by the size! We are able to maintain and innovate around a very complex system that is now maintained and implemented with React.js, Typescript and communicates with our backends via GraphQL API. It has some parts in ReScript, which was a technological mistake that we are slowly but surely improving on. We use Storybook to maintain our design system.
We are strongly driven by the impact our work brings to the people who use our product. Engineering, for us, is not just about writing code that fulfills all of the requirements provided by someone else. On the contrary, as an engineer, you should have a solid say on the overall solution. Of course, it requires understanding the business, the product, and the technology you are working with. Itโs important that you will be able to connect the dots and, as an expert, advise the best course of action.
We also value autonomy and strive for meritocracy. Good arguments should win. You will shape the e2e solution, decide on architecture, and suggest important improvements to the way we engineer our product.
On a daily basis, we work as most of the Engineering teams do. The only thing that will be constant is Retrospective, as it will never remove itself from the process. We believe in adapting to change and being agile. However, you can expect regular planning, some form of standups, timely code reviews, and very close collaboration with other engineers. Also, you will be able to present our projects to the rest of the company, if you like doing it!
We will be happy to be fully transparent with you. Just tell us what you want to know!
Ideally, you'll bring with you:
- Excellent coding skills and passion for growing expertise
- 5+ years of experience in frontend development using React and TypeScript
- Great knowledge of HTML5, and CSS3
- Product acumen, ownership, and focus on value delivered for the customers
- Strong communication, so you can actively listen and easily explain complex technical issues with simple business and product words
- Working proficiency in English and Polish (both spoken and written)
It will be awesome if you have:
- Experience with GraphQL APIs
