Senior Frontend Engineer Remote - React​/Next.js Expert

Wunder Graph is growing fast, and we’re on a mission to redefine how companies leverage Graph

QL Federation  North Star is to enable collaboration across small and large organizations, leveraging APIs as the backbone of growing the business. Mega trends like AI need data, and data needs to flow from service to service, and from agent to agent. Data flows rely on APIs, which need a schema that’s shared across all stakeholders so it doesn’t create a huge mess.

Wunder Graph builds the foundation to enable this. Making this look easy for customers actually means solving hard technical problems, which is why we’re looking for people like you who can help us grow and build more exciting, cutting-edge tech! If you want to make an impact, make your voice heard, and work in a no BS organization so you can get stuff done: look no further and apply today!

We’re looking for a dedicated frontend engineer with a strong background in building large-scale React applications—ideally using Next.js, React and Tailwind. In this role, you’ll develop and maintain key features on our platform, ensuring a smooth, intuitive user experience. You’ll work directly with both the product team and our customers to gather feedback, address technical challenges, and continuously improve the product.

If you have a solid understanding of UI design and user experience, and you’re ready to take on a hands-on role in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.

• Build software along our entire stack (Next.js, React, Typescript, tRPC, Graph
  
  QL, Tailwind)
• Ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and developer experience (DX).
• Analyzing telemetry data and collaborating with our customers to understand their use cases and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Diagnosing and resolving technical issues, often working directly with our customers' engineering teams.

• You love to code and solve problems - the more of a challenge, the better, because this helps you to learn and hone your skills
• You have a quick mind and quick grasp of problems.
• When working on something, your focus is to quickly create shippable increments to get user feedback, rather than building what you think could be a perfect solution.
• Despite your coding focus, you always start with the customer / user. Instead of making assumptions, you prefer talking to people and finding out first-hand if no other information is available.
• You are not afraid of speaking to customers (or other people), nor of speaking your mind inside the team to call out things that can use some improvement.
• You dislike things (e.g. meetings) that keep you from doing what you enjoy. You thrive in an environment where your team mates and managers don’t have hidden agendas, but in fact all work together towards common goals everybody understands.
• You understand that working in a startup environment comes with a lot of perks, but also responsibilities. For example, you don’t have issues traveling for company retreats and meet-ups, or for jumping onto a call after hours to help your team mates solve an urgent issue.

• At least 5 year of proven professional experience as a software developer, with a focus on frontend development in large-scale React applications (preferably using Next.js). Work samples are required, ideally as open-source projects on Git Hub.
• You possess a strong understanding of UI and UX principles, with a passion for creating seamless and visually appealing user experiences.
• You know how to manage complex state in React applications, and you have experience with state management libraries like Recoil, Zustand, or Jotai.
• You are a self-starter with excellent prioritization skills, capable of managing your workload independently—no hand-holding needed.
• You are proficient in Type Script, React, and Node.js.
• Experience with Graph
  
  QL, Tailwind, tRPC is a plus.
• Ideally, you have experience contributing to open-source projects.
