Job description

Frontend Engineer (Vue)

Remote, based in Spain or South-Africa

TROOP is a group meeting planning and travel management platform that helps companies bring teams together for in-person meetings. The experience starts with TROOP’s award-winning Intelligent Destination Recommendations, which use advanced algorithms to help meeting planners pinpoint the perfect meeting destination, considering travel time, climate impact, budget, lodging availability, and safety factors for all attendees. Using TROOP, companies have saved millions in travel costs, employee time, and carbon emissions, making it possible for people to meet and build stronger relationships with their colleagues, clients, and partners, even in times of tightening budgets and travel restrictions.

Why TROOP?

TROOP believes in the power of shared experiences and the unifying impact of in-person meetings. We are on a mission to bring people together by transforming the meeting planning process. At TROOP, we have ambitious goals to be the leading provider of end-to-end meeting planning tools. We started by inventing a completely new way for people to decide where to meet, but for us, the destination is just the beginning. We’re developing more innovative solutions that make it easier than ever to organize and host successful group meeting experiences.

TROOP’s Culture?

TROOP is an international, remote-first company. Our colleagues are spread across the globe, with entities in Spain, South Africa, and the United States. Our culture is rooted in an African philosophy called “Ubuntu,” which means “I am because we are.” It refers to an environment of interdependence through trust. We call ourselves TROOPers, and we are people who seek adventure, challenge the status quo, enjoy innovating, and want to be part of something special. We are doers who roll up our sleeves and get into the details; we own the problem and only stop once it is solved.

We’re actively seeking Front-end Engineers who will play a crucial role in our growing and proficient engineering team. Our global team of engineers is committed to software engineering and excels at resolving intricate challenges. In this role, you’ll be involved in the entire development process and accountable for your project outcomes. Our collaborative approach involves regular interaction with Vue/Pinia experts, ensuring that our technology stack remains at the cutting edge of innovation.

What you’ll be doing:

• Create visually appealing and highly interactive user interfaces using modern web technologies and frameworks
• Ensure that end-users have a seamless and engaging experience by translating design concepts into responsive and intuitive web applications
• Collaborate closely with Product Designers, Backend Engineers, and other team members to bring design concepts to life.
• Troubleshoot and solve complex technical issues to maintain the reliability and performance of web applications
• Take ownership of specific features, tasks, or even entire projects, seeing them through from conception to completion and successful release
• Write clean and efficient code, adhering to best practices and ensuring that your solutions are reusable and maintainable

Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years’ professional experience as a Software Engineer, with deep expertise in frontend development.
• Proven experience in primarily front-end programming: Vue3 Composition API, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Pinia, and Apollo GraphQL
• Familiarity with AI development tools and frameworks.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team.
• Demonstrated experience taking features or products from concept to release.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate complex solutions clearly, both verbally and in written English.
• BSc in Computer Science or equivalent.
