They are growing their highly skilled technical team in Helsinki and this is where your input and skills will be needed!
What will you be doing?
As a Senior Frontend Developer, you will join the Helsinki-based engineering office and work in a smaller, dedicated team focusing on one of the Rbauction domains. Your team will consist of a few other software engineers, a QA engineer, and an Engineering Manager, and the team’s main objective is to modernize and build the dedicated product domain and collaborate with US-based project teams.
In this role, you will be responsible for technical and architectural execution within the team, participate in implementing the full-stack web experience, and leverage the best development practices. You’ll champion code and architectural quality, and implement strategies to safely and reliably make changes to production when needed. You will identify risks, resolve performance and scalability issues, and collaborate closely with the UX/UI department, designers, product managers, developers, and other internal stakeholders to deliver compelling and efficient products. The main focus in your role is on the frontend development, but you and the whole team will contribute to the complete full-stack functionality of the Rbauction website.
In addition to the technical aspect of the role, we hope you are willing to partner up with the Engineering Manager to participate in coaching and training the team of developers while fostering Ritchie Bros’ exceptional company culture.
