Senior Front-end Developer
You write clean, thorough code. You care about how things look and how they work. And you've been doing it long enough to know the difference between moving fast and cutting corners. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
We're looking for a Senior Front-end Developer to join our team in Porto. Someone with real depth in their field, a good eye for detail, and the kind of ownership that doesn't need to be asked for.
Is this the first time you have heard about us? Here's our Playbook to get you acquainted: Playbook.
This is an on-site-first position.
We are an office-first, yet hybrid friendly company. In other words, we will favour those applicants who can (and want) to be in the office with us more often, even though we're cool if you want to work from home frequently. To leave no room for interpretation: if you're looking for a fully remote job, this is not the job for you. Please note we can not support with VISA applications.
The role
At Significa, design and engineering work as one. That shapes everything, including how we think about front-end development. We don't separate the visual from the technical; the best front-end work lives at the intersection of both. You don't need to be a designer, but you should be someone who notices when something's off and cares enough to say so.
As a senior member of the team, you'll bring experience and perspective to every project, contribute to how we build, and help less experienced developers grow alongside you.
