Senior Frontend Developer – React (Remote – CET ±3) (m/f/d)

At CENDAS, we're transforming the construction industry through digital innovation. Since 2021, our SaaS platform has unified every stakeholder and project phase into a single, streamlined workflow. We believe technology should empower not burden those building the world. Headquartered in Germany with a globally distributed team of 60+ professionals, we empower construction companies to "GET WORK DONE" faster, smarter, and with fewer headaches.

Our mission is to simplify the daily chaos of construction work with powerful, intuitive software. We’re not here to digitize paperwork we’re here to make it obsolete. This isn’t just another job it’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and make a lasting impact. We're proud of the culture we've built and it shows. With a Glassdoor rating of ★4.8/5 (https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-CENDAS-EI_IE6018007.11,17.htm), our team consistently highlights our collaborative work environment, growth opportunities, and strong leadership. We’re committed to empowering our employees to thrive professionally and personally.

What You Bring?

·  React & TypeScript:  5+ years of hands-on experience building robust, scalable web applications.

·  State Management: Practical experience using Zustand, Redux, MobX, Recoil, or similar.

·  Offline-First Development: Delivered offline-capable PWAs or desktop apps using WatermelonDB, RxDB, AWS AppSync, PouchDB, or PowerSync.

·  Communication Skills: Fluent written and spoken English for seamless async and real-time collaboration. Dad jokes optional but appreciated.

Nice to Have:

·  Experience with component systems like Storybook or Design Tokens.

· Comfortable with Figma handoffs and modern design-to-code collaboration.

·  Familiarity with Node.js and NestJS; GraphQL APIs are a plus.

·  Exposure to React Native or Electron for cross-platform development.

Not sure you meet 100% of the requirements? If you match ~80% and are excited about this role, apply anyway — we're not building rockets (yet).


Your Mission:

As a Senior Frontend Developer, you’ll be the driving force behind our user-facing applications:

·   Build, improve, and own features using React + TypeScript that simplify complex workflows — and make construction workers say “Whoa, that’s smooth”

·   Design scalable state management solutions.

·    Implement robust offline-first flows so our users can work in construction sites, basements, or bunkers.

·   Work with a modern stack (AWS, GitHub, Jira, Microsoft Teams, you choose your equipment setup) the usual suspects, minus the bureaucracy.

·  Cultivate a peer‑review culture where everyone both gives and receives feedback— lead by example through collaborative code reviews, knowledge sharing, and zero‑ego discussions.
