About Tradeshift

Tradeshift is a unicorn in the fintech industry. We are disrupting a typically stagnant environment by connecting companies of all sizes and providing them with the platform and network needed to create value from old processes like procurement, invoicing, payments, and workflow. We recognize that business is both messy and social - two revelations that have driven the development of Tradeshift, a platform for all your business interactions. We work hard and our teams have great freedom and responsibility to choose the best solutions, technologies and approaches to evolve the product to the next level.

We believe that being a global, multicultural company is a tremendous strength and we have people working from 18 different countries with hubs in Bucharest, Copenhagen, Kuala Lumpur, and San Francisco. We believe that if we truly focus on how to work distributed and collaborate across locations and (home) offices, we will not only enjoy work more but also build better products for our customers, and ultimately be a better company. 

About The Role

As an experienced Frontend Software Engineer you will take ownership of creating and viewing commerce documents bringing direct value to our users, discuss and review code, architecture and design, and regularly challenge and improve the process. You will get a unique opportunity to develop your talent, as our challenges constantly evolve within our team.

We believe in team growth, ownership, development and quality assurance. You will have a manager and a team helping you grow, amazing company culture and perks. As a Frontend Software Engineer your involvement will start from product inception through architecture, design and production support. 

Our teams have great autonomy and responsibility to choose the best solutions, technologies and approaches to bringing Tradeshift to the next level. Of course, this will not be easy; you will face a lot of complex challenges in our growing, global, fast-paced startup.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will be working with product managers and designers in a global environment to define and ship a new product experience, migrate existing legacy code to new apps backed by microservices, create new apps and new modules within the platform and work on feature requests and prioritized bugs that are crucial to our enterprise customers. You will be writing code covered by unit and integration tests and use git, with an open source like workflow, using forks and pull requests. 

You will work with technologies like React, Typescript, Javascript, CSS/Less but you will also be exposed to DevOps technologies like Kubernetes and Docker and supporting tools like Datadog, Sentry, or Splunk. You will also gain more cloud experience as our platform runs in AWS and GCP.

You will be writing high-quality, tested and peer-reviewed code, will help review code from other team members and contribute to what the team is delivering using a CI/CD release pipeline.

You will brainstorm with the team on technical architecture or design options, implementation alternatives and help solve day to day issues in a collaborative effort.
