The Catawiki Story
A piece of the moon, a complete dinosaur skeleton, the Pope's hat, the world's smallest book - at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every single day. As Europe’s fastest growing online auction platform, our mission is to make special objects available to everyone.
In fact, 10 million users are buying and selling on Catawiki every month. This means we are continually growing and always on the lookout for new talent.
Born and raised in The Netherlands, we started in 2008 as a platform where collectors could manage their collections online. Yet, times change, ideas evolve, and in 2011 we hosted our first online auction and we haven’t looked back since! We’ve now grown to 650+ Catawikians working across 7 International offices and are proud to have maintained our start-up mentality.
What you’ll do
Working in a high traffic environment, you will have the opportunity to build new features to grow the business and measure the impact. We are highly data-driven so A/B experimentation is at our core. You will be part of the frontend guild which is distributed across multiple teams consisting of a Product Owner, UX designer, backend, mobile and frontend developers.
You will also work with the frontend guild on maintaining and improving our infrastructure to keep the stack scalable, maintainable, and predictable. We encourage new ideas and you will have the opportunity to share them at our guild meetings where we openly discuss them.
What you’ll bring
You know how to explain a problem and a solution, both in detail to a technical crowd and in a simplified way to non-technical people. You know how to organise your time efficiently, are calm and collected when a problem arises in production, and are great at prioritising your work. In addition, you have a proven track record in the following:
JavaScript and/or TypeScript - we can bring you up to speed with TypeScript
Experience with React is preferred
Redux or any other state management tool
Styling while using the BEM methodology or any of the modern approaches with using PostCSS for CSSinJS, CSS modules etc.
Functional and Object-oriented programming paradigms
