TypeScript Web Developer

Take ownership of the complete web environment of a growing consumer platform within the mobility sector. You will work with JavaScript, TypeScript and Angular, make independent technical decisions and translate ideas from product, design and marketing into functionality used by thousands of people. Please note that visa sponsorship and visa transfers are not available for this position. Company This Utrecht based technology company develops a consumer platform that makes existing vehicles easier and more efficient to use. The organisation is entering a new phase of growth and combines the financial stability of an established shareholder with the speed and freedom of a scale up. Ideas can move from discussion to implementation quickly. Developers are therefore expected to think beyond their own discipline, make practical decisions and take responsibility for the outcome. The culture is social, direct and informal. Colleagues regularly work and have lunch together at the Utrecht office. People take their work seriously, but there is also plenty of room for humour. It is a flexible environment built around trust, responsibility and collaboration rather than unnecessary hierarchy or rigid working patterns. Role description You will become the main technical owner of the existing web platform and the primary point of contact for everything related to the frontend and public web environment. The current application is built with Angular 14, TypeScript and RxJS and communicates with REST APIs and .NET backend services. Part of your responsibility will therefore be to gradually improve and upgrade the existing application while continuing to deliver new functionality. A significant part of the role involves working with marketing on the public web environment. This includes adding new components to the existing Payload CMS, supporting commercial initiatives and improving SEO, performance and loading times. You do not need to be an SEO specialist, but you should understand how traffic, customer journeys and frontend choices influence the commercial performance of a public web platform.
