About the role

Looking for a new adventure? You’ve come to the right place.

We're an Amsterdam-based team of 90+ (and counting) with 25+ nationalities amongst us! A varied bunch of “Citizens of The World” with a wide range of skills and hundreds of thousands of kilometers under our travel belts. And we have something important in common (other than our very well-worn passports): We want to change the way people travel.

And that's exactly what we're doing, with the travel app to plan, track, and relive trips in a smart and beautiful way.

Polarsteps has over 20 million users already, but, for us, this is just the beginning. We have big plans for the future, and so we need even more talented and enthusiastic people to help us on our journey.

Want to know more about us? Here you go.

Your expedition: Frontend Engineering at Polarsteps

We’re a small team, doing big things.

If you haven't seen our app yet, go ahead and check it out; you'll see that we care (a lot) about providing a seamless, top-quality user experience for every one of our travelers. And it is this that has got us ratings of 4.8 and 4.7 on the app stores (where we’ve been featured multiple times). But it doesn’t stop there: not only did Google create this awesome video about us, but we’ve been mentioned in two of Apple’s WWDC keynote speeches!

We’ve got an impressive past, but we’re even more excited for the future, and the impact you can make from day one is huge, with everything you ship affecting more than 23 million users. Even with that in mind, we believe in truly giving our team members the freedom they need to craft to perfection while encouraging a practical mindset to avoid under- or over-engineering mishaps.

We are seeing enthusiastic and accelerated growth of the travel industry, and with that comes both opportunities and growing pains. So, if you enjoy creating thoughtful user experiences, obsessing over performance and polish, and solving the challenges that come with building a product used by millions, you're in for a lot of fun with us.

Your itinerary

What your journey at Polarsteps will look like day-to-day.

You will:

Work on all things at the forefront of our beautiful and complex web app, and create new features that will impact millions of users.

Help our Product team by creating prototypes and sharing your knowledge.

Build fun internal tools like our teleporter.

Take part in daily interactions with product managers, designers, other engineers, and the rest of our team, we believe in a deeply collaborative environment.

Proactively improve the resiliency, maintainability, and scalability of our platform, addressing technical debt when needed or, even better, preventing it when it makes sense.

The equipment in your backpack

What we’re hoping you’ll bring with you.

✅ 5-7+ years of a strong frontend background. We work with React and Typescript and would love it if you are familiar with them, or a similar technology.

✅ A pragmatic approach to solving the problem at hand. You shouldn’t be scared of tackling big challenges in automated testing, optimizing performance or developing new features.

✅ You use AI tools daily to move faster, but never to skip understanding. You can explain, defend and debug every line you ship, whether you wrote it or an AI did.

✅ A history of working on intuitive and beautiful front-end solutions
