About The Role

We're looking for a Junior Frontend Engineer to join the team building the web experience of the region's leading property marketplace. You'll work on a high-traffic, consumer-facing product used by millions of buyers, renters, and agents — a great place to grow fast, with experienced engineers around you and real production scale from day one.

This is an early-career role for someone with 1–3 years of professional experience: we expect solid fundamentals, curiosity, and a drive to learn. You'll get structured mentorship, thorough code reviews, and steadily increasing ownership as you grow.

What You'll Do

• Build and improve user-facing features across the Property Finder web experience.
• Write clean, well-tested TypeScript and React code, following the team's patterns and standards.
• Work closely with senior engineers, designers, and product managers to turn designs and requirements into polished, responsive interfaces.
• Participate in code reviews — both receiving feedback on your work and learning to review others'.
• Help investigate and fix bugs, UI inconsistencies, and performance issues.
• Learn our stack, tooling, and ways of working, and grow your ownership over time — from well-scoped tasks toward full features.
  
  

What We're Looking For

Required technical skills:

• 1–3 years of frontend development experience on commercial projects.
• Working knowledge of Next.js — routing, data fetching, and the basics of server-side rendering. This is the framework you'll be working in daily.
• Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows (branches, pull requests, reviews).
• An eye for detail — you notice when spacing is off, a state is missing, or an interaction feels wrong.
• Willingness to write tests and to learn testing practices (unit and component testing).
  
  

Nice To Have

• Exposure to responsive design, accessibility (a11y), or web performance basics (Core Web Vitals).
• Familiarity with CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, or design-system-driven development.
• Personal projects, open-source contributions, or a portfolio you're proud of.
  
  

How You Work

• You're curious and proactive — you ask questions, seek feedback, and don't stay stuck in silence.
• You take feedback well and apply it; you see code review as a way to learn, not a gate to pass.
• You care about the user — you test your own work and think about how real people will experience it.
• You're reliable: you communicate progress honestly, flag blockers early, and follow through on what you commit to.
