Jobbeschreibung

Hi! We are verkstedt. 👋

We’re a distributed team of software developers passionate about delivering high-quality applications with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and robust solutions that don’t bother us during a nice board game session on a Saturday night.

We specialize in digital healthcare and retail media - building products and services in German healthcare that make a real difference.

We are looking for a seasoned Senior JavaScript Developer to join our team.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape and evolve large-scale web applications, focusing on code, not bureaucracy. We value pragmatic solutions over dogma.

Tasks

As Senior JavaScript Developer, you will take the lead on our JavaScript applications, building the interfaces and services that power our products.

Your tasks will involve a combination of the following:

• Architecting and implementing robust frontend applications using React, TypeScript, and modern tooling.
• Building and maintaining component libraries with a focus on reusability, accessibility, and performance.
• Developing backend services using Node.js and TypeScript - APIs, server-side logic, and data layer.
• Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for our frontend and backend applications.
• Working on greenfield projects as well as evolving existing systems.
• Contributing to open source projects, or collaborating with the team building fun projects during our Open Fridays (usually on a Wednesday) :)

Requirements

Our primary requirement is a genuine passion for creating exceptional web applications, writing clean, efficient code, and an eagerness to collaborate on innovative projects.

Coupled with at least 4-5 years of hands-on JavaScript development experience, you’re the kind of seasoned professional we’re excited to invite for a coffee chat!

What we’re looking for:

• Strong experience with React and modern frontend architecture
• Strong TypeScript skills across frontend and backend
• Strong experience with Node.js for backend services and APIs
• Experience with state management patterns and libraries
• Solid understanding of web performance optimization
• Familiarity with testing strategies (unit, integration, e2e)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and build tooling
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker)

We embrace AI tools to improve our workflows - and we’re looking for someone who shares that mindset.

As a senior, you should be a great communicator who can explain complex technical ideas to different audiences. You’re self-directed, collaborative, and able to navigate complex problems with pragmatic solutions.

Fluency in English is crucial for our international team. And if you can sprinkle in some German, that’s a delightful bonus we appreciate.

Benefits

• A competitive salary
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work (mainly from home, with one office day per week in Berlin or Cologne)
• Learning budget for conferences, courses, and books
• Choose the gear you like
• Relocation support if you’re moving to Berlin or Cologne
• Minimal meetings - we take planning seriously and spend our time coding, not in meetings

Web applications don’t build themselves, so we make sure to keep the office stocked with coffee, fruits, Club Mate & snacks. We hold regular team events — dinners, game nights, chess evenings, and board games at the office, plus seasonal whole-company events like go-kart racing and escape rooms.

If this sounds like you, get in touch! Simply fill in the application form below and we’ll get back to you within a week.

We’ll start with a quick chat via Zoom (or whatever works) to get to know each other and answer any questions you might have.

If we’re all keen to continue, we’ll invite you for a coding demo - a chance for a deeper discussion about your work.

And that’s basically all the application process there is.
