At HEMA, we are building an efficient and future-proof retail technology landscape. To achieve this, we are establishing a new Engineering Organization. This is your chance to help lay the technological foundation for the most iconic, nearly 100-year-old department store in the Netherlands. Do you want to make a direct impact on HEMA’s digital progress? Then this role is for you!
the challenge
As a junior full stack/frontend engineer in our frontend chapter, you'll work in multidisciplinary product teams alongside frontend specialists, designers, product owners, and business stakeholders across different domains. You'll contribute to our scalable commerce frontend infrastructure, with a significant focus on frontend development as we build our future-proof platform. As we build our internal engineering organization, you'll play a key role in both shaping our technical direction and helping establish our engineering culture and practices. You'll contribute to challenging projects spanning the full stack/frontend - from architecting user-facing features to designing event-based MACH architecture, implementing Made-2-Order services, and building scalable frontend APIs. As a junior full stack/frontend engineer, you'll develop frontend services and frontend components by writing clean, testable and maintainable code. Our tech stack centers on full stack TypeScript development in our AWS-native architecture - you'll build customer facing applications using React and serverless technologies, while architecting scalable frontend services with Lambda, API Gateway, and event-driven systems. We use Apache Kafka for event-driven architecture and KONG for API management. We provide AI development tools (like Kiro) to all our developers and actively support teams in using AI effectively. We're building AI-powered features including documentation assistants, and we encourage developers to leverage AI throughout the development lifecycle. Experience with service-oriented, API-first, and headless systems is a nice to have. Innovation is our lifeblood; we are always searching for the most efficient solution to support our business teams in serving our customers.
