What will you do?

Your job in a nutshell

As a Senior Frontend Platform Engineer, you won’t be building a single application, but the platform that other development teams use every day. You combine deep technical expertise with leadership and help shape the technical direction of Jumbo’s frontend landscape.
What are we doing it for?

We enable the development of fast, scalable, and reliable digital experiences for millions of Jumbo customers. Through strong platforms and shared solutions, we help teams innovate faster and reduce duplicate work.
Your new team

You’ll be part of the Frontend Platform team within Platform Engineering, consisting of 6 colleagues. This central team delivers tooling, standards, and foundational building blocks for multiple development teams and works closely with other platform teams and Kompas.
Who do you work with?

You’ll collaborate with frontend engineers, platform engineers, product owners, UX designers, and other engineering teams. You’ll also regularly align with teams focused on design systems, content delivery, and mobile platforms.

As a Senior Frontend Platform Engineer, you’ll build the frontend platform used by development teams across Jumbo. You’ll develop tooling, libraries, and standards, help define the technical direction, and enable teams to build more efficiently.

Get started! This is what you'll do

Within Platform Engineering, you’ll work on building blocks used across multiple frontend teams. You’ll develop and maintain libraries, tooling, and CI/CD solutions using Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript, and Node.js. Think of shared authentication solutions, observability integrations, app generators, and GitHub Actions workflows.

Developer experience is at the heart of everything we do. You’ll help teams get up and running faster, make shared solutions easy to adopt, and prevent the same problems from being solved multiple times.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll take the lead when needed. You’ll contribute to the roadmap, translate ideas into practical solutions, and support colleagues through code reviews, technical decision-making, and knowledge sharing.

This is not a typical frontend role. You’ll build very few direct customer-facing features and instead focus on solutions that other frontend developers use every day. This gives you an impact across multiple teams.

Your key responsibilities:

· Develop the frontend platform

· Build libraries, tooling, and shared capabilities

· Improve CI/CD processes and Developer Experience

· Safeguard quality, performance, security, and maintainability

· Create documentation and onboarding materials for development teams

· Support adoption of platform solutions

· Manage versioning, upgrades, and dependencies

· Investigate and resolve issues within shared tooling

· Contribute to platform architecture and roadmap

· Set technical priorities

· Coach engineers and perform code reviews

· Collaborate with frontend teams across Jumbo

Together, we are Jumbo: your future workplace
You’ll join the Frontend Platform team within Platform Engineering. This team develops the tooling, shared capabilities, and standards that enable frontend teams across Jumbo to build high-quality solutions. From this central position, you’ll help multiple teams move forward and have a direct impact on the technical quality of Jumbo’s frontend landscape.
