As a senior Front-End Software Engineer at Fountain, you will collaborate with a diverse team of engineers, designers, and product managers to create user-centered web applications that empower organizations to improve employee retention.
Your responsibilities include designing, developing, and maintaining the Worker Experience solution's products frontends and reviewing and coaching developers in their growth.
The Worker Experience team is divided into product squads, each autonomous in their implementation and accountable for developing new products using a product-led growth approach. New products are regularly released with a focus on product-based software development, which requires you to be comfortable with it.
We are a fairly new team and product in the company. As such, we operate with considerable agility and speed. You will be expected to take decisions with many unknowns, and have a lot of freedom to do so. In fact, you will be expected to operate not as one does in a larger organization, but with the autonomy that comes with building an early-stage product.
The role required collaboration in a widely international organization, across time zones, continents, and cultures (Western and Northern Europe, USA, South Africa, India, and more ongoing).
You will join the existing European Worker Experience squad composed of 2 backend developers, 2 frontend developers and a squad leader.
Location: you remotely work from a time zone included in UTC ± 4 hours.

Nice to have:
