[Hiring] Senior Frontend Software Engineer - React.Js and Next.Js @Mindera

Role Description

At Mindera, we believe that software is built by people, for people, with high-performance systems that impact users worldwide. We are looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to join an agile, collaborative team where your voice matters as much as your code.

You won’t just be slicing designs; you’ll be a technical partner helping us design and build high-performance, secure, and scalable front-end solutions. We have a strong focus on React and Next and modern JavaScript, along with server-side rendering concepts to create seamless, isomorphic applications.

We value empathy, self-organization, and a positive attitude. If you are approachable, communicate clearly, and believe that team fit is just as important as technical prowess, you’ll feel right at home here.

National and international expected traveling time varies according to project/client and organizational needs: 0%-15% estimated.

How You’ll Contribute

• Build & Maintain: Own the lifecycle of our front-end applications, ensuring they are secure, high-performing, and built with scalability in mind.
• Collaborate & Lead: Work closely with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment (Scrum/Kanban), thriving with minimal supervision.
• Continuous Improvement: Champion best practices in SEO, accessibility, and performance optimization (Core Web Vitals) to ensure our products reach everyone.

We’re Looking for Someone Who...

• Communicates with Clarity: You are approachable and enjoy expressing ideas and collaborating efficiently in English.
• Values Team Fit: You contribute to a positive atmosphere and believe that being "easy to work with" is a core technical skill.
• Is Self-Driven: You are passionate about your craft and comfortable navigating complex projects with a high degree of autonomy.

Your Technical Toolkit

• Core: Strong experience in React.js and Next.js is a must.
• State & Data: Proficiency with Redux (or similar state management) and familiarity with both GraphQL and REST APIs.
• The Basics: Solid skills in HTML5, CSS3, and pre/post-processors (SASS, LESS, PostCSS).
• Testing: Experience with testing frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, or Enzyme.
• Observability: Knowledge of performance optimization and tools like New Relic, Grafana or Core Web Vitals.
• Cloud: While we primarily use Azure, having experience is considered a strong plus.
• Diversity: We highly value varied tech experience—exposure to different stacks and environments is a huge plus!

Recruitment Stages

• Screening - Reviewing CVs and eligibility verification.
• 1st Call - 30-minute call to assess Technical & Culture Fit with an IT Recruiter.

Benefits

• Well-being First: health insurance and "Open Holidays" because we trust you to know when you need a break.
• Flexible Working hours and Work: Work from our vibrant hubs in Porto, Aveiro, or Coimbra, or choose a remote setup that works for you. As long as you are based in Portugal :)
