At Lab Digital, we strive to make a positive impact by creating outstanding digital products for our clients, including global e-commerce platforms, content websites, and high-traffic middleware solutions.
Many of the products we develop use React in combination with Next.js. We apply a component library approach and develop in collaboration with UX and design teams. We have a strong focus on performance, both in consuming data from GraphQL services, and in generating the responses. A good user experience and excellent scores in web vitals / Lighthouse are essential for our field.
As our ideal candidate, you're not just skilled in coding – you're a visionary who understands the importance of collaborative development. Working alongside our UX and design teams, you'll bring digital concepts to life, ensuring every product resonates with its intended audience.
Our collaborative environment thrives on agile methodologies, with 2 to 3-week sprints involving multidisciplinary teams. As a Frontend Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high quality software in collaboration with (UX) designers, QA specialists, business analysts, solution architects, a scrum master, and a project manager. For larger clients, you may find yourself working across multiple teams, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
