You will be part of a small and motivated team, actively contributing to the development of our various web applications. Most of your time will be spent working on our online surveying platforms, which total more than one million visitors per month – a number that is growing at a rapid pace. Our newest product, www.surveyhero.com, will receive the most of your attention.
You will be deeply involved in the design process for new exciting product requirements and take over responsibility for considerable parts of our existing TypeScript/HTML5/CSS3 code base.

Ideally, you will also optimize components for maximum performance across browser and devices, make our online surveys available offline, manage automated integration tests within our CI processes, give technical support to other team members, and much more.
We offer a vast number of features, resulting in a large and complex code base. Maintainable and extendable code, automated tests and a well-organized software architecture is key to the continuation of our success. We expect our new team member to write expressive, high-quality and reusable code and to help design and build user-friendly interfaces with sophisticated interaction patterns.
