About the Role

We’re looking for a Front-End Developer to join our Amsterdam-based Engineering team. You'll help build and improve our core products, like the Newzoo Platform, and contribute to some exciting new initiatives still in early stages of exploration. You’ll be part of a small, Agile squad where design, product, and engineering work closely together.

You’ll write clean, modular JavaScript, build reusable components, and care about the details that make an interface feel just right. A good sense of componentization and abstraction is key — and if you enjoy implementing designs down to the pixel, even better.

Your Responsibilities

• Build high-quality user interfaces using React and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
• Work closely with designers and product managers to bring ideas to life
• Create reusable, maintainable components and front-end architecture
• Contribute to the development of both mature products and new areas we’re actively exploring
• Improve performance, reliability, and code quality across the board
• Supported and collaborating with other engineers through code reviews and pair programming

Your Profile

• 5+ years of experience building front-end applications in React
• Strong grasp of modern JavaScript, component-based architecture, and abstraction patterns
• A sharp eye for design implementation and polish
• Experience working in a team setting, ideally within Agile product teams
• You’re based in the EU and have the right to work here
• You’re comfortable communicating in English — both written and spoken — and able to actively contribute to team discussions and decision-making
• Comfortable working in a hybrid setup — this role requires at least two days a week in our Amsterdam office

Our Offer

• Join an Ambitious Team: Be part of a young, energetic team with endless opportunities to grow within the company.
• Hybrid Work Setup: Enjoy the flexibility of working from our Amsterdam office or from home, with a work-from-home budget, travel reimbursement, and healthy lunches prepared by our in-house chef.
• Work from Anywhere: Freedom to work from another country for up to 6 weeks every year.
• Industry Leaders: Collaborate directly with industry leaders, shaping the future of games, hardware, media, and tech.
• Fun Culture: Experience a fast-paced, collaborative, fun-loving, and transparent culture.
• Personal Development: Benefit from a personal development budget of €1500, plus tools and opportunities to grow your career.
• Awesome Team Events: Enjoy team outings, in-office celebrations, and more.
• Health & Wellness: Access health benefits, a wellness budget, and a fitness program.
• Mental Wellness: Get unlimited access to mental wellness support through OpenUp.
• Pension Plan: We invest in your future with a comprehensive pension plan.
• And More: There's always more to discover!
