Frontend Developer (m/f/d)

We’re looking for an a11y-loving, user-focused frontend developer to build and improve features for our 5 million users. 

At innn.it, we aim to lower the barriers to participation in democratic processes. We use React and Next.js, as well as tools like Figma, PostHog, and Chromatic. We give developers the resources and responsibility they need to find the best solutions and build features they truly care about. Sounds good? Check out the details!

• Translate ideas into features. Whether based on detailed project briefs or quick conversations, you’ll develop ideas discussed by the team.

• Take ownership of tasks. From analysis to delivery, you’ll be responsible for ensuring each step is taken care of.

• Implementation. You’ll translate layouts into React/TypeScript code.

• Contribute to application design. As a small team, we have frequent discussions about what to build, so you won’t just write code but also contribute to design and architecture decisions.

• Document the solutions you create. Some of the things you will develop will be used by other teams, so everything must be documented in English in a clear way.

• Review code from colleagues. You’ll review code written by other developers, giving them meaningful feedback and sharing the knowledge (and learning from that, too!)

• Be open to diverse tasks. From changing the color of a button to defining the architecture of a system, you should be open to tasks of varying scope and complexity.

• A/B testing. You’ll run experiments on user flows, analyze results, and use insights to improve the user experience.

• You may or may not have a degree in the field. You may have learned web development at university, at a coding bootcamp, through an online course or as a self-taught developer.

• You have three to five years of experience working with JavaScript and you’re familiar with TypeScript.

• You have experience with frontend frameworks like React and Next.js.

• You enjoy writing semantic HTML with accessibility best practices in mind.

• You know how to use Git and feel comfortable with Git workflows.

• You have an idea of deployment tools and processes.

• You’re interested in finding the best solutions for modern frontend development, great user experiences and SEO-optimized user interfaces. 

• You know how to give meaningful feedback, share your knowledge with peers, and you’re comfortable reviewing colleagues’ work.

• You’re passionate about social change and believe that digital tools can be effective to empower people and create communities.

• You’re comfortable working in an English-speaking environment. Knowledge of German is a plus.

Bonus points:

• You’re familiar with CSS-in-JS (like Emotion), Storybook, and Chromatic.

• You have experience with A/B testing and product analytics tools (like PostHog).

• You have experience with internationalization.

• You have experience with Cypress.

• Meaningful work with real social impact.

• A committed, activist-minded team with strong values and heart.

• Professional development opportunities and knowledge sharing within the team.

• Central location in Berlin-Mitte and hybrid working options.

• Gross annual salary of 62.500€ per year (based on 36 hours/week), with a transparent salary structure.

• 6 weeks of vacation

• Deutschland Ticket

• Works council representation

• Fitness membership through Wellhub.

• Reimbursement of your phone costs up to EUR 55 per month.

• The contract is initially fixed-term for one year, with a strong possibility of extension.

We want you to know what to expect, so here's a look at the application process:

1. Get to Know Each Other - A 30-45-minute Zoom call with the hiring manager and People & Culture. 

2. Coding Challenge - You'll receive a practical coding challenge to complete in max. 4-5 hours, from the comfort of your own home. It gives us a sense of how you work - and gives you a realistic feel for the role.

3. Technical Interview - A one hour Zoom call with the Product team to dive deeper into your approach, your thinking, and how you'd tackle the challenges of the role.

4. Final Chat – We invite you to our office: meet our leadership team, see where we work, and ask us anything you'd like to know.

Please send us your CV and a short cover letter. In your cover letter, please include:

• A short introduction about yourself and why you’d like to work at innn.it

• A project you’ve built with React that you’re particularly passionate about, and why (if possible, include a link to the code)

• The aspects of frontend development you enjoy the most

We value diversity and welcome all applications — regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic or social background, religion/beliefs, disability, age, length of unemployment, sexual orientation, or identity.

If you are unsure whether you meet all the requirements for the role, we still encourage you to apply and let us know what you would bring to the team.

With innn.it, we move one step closer to the vision of a self-determined society. We would be delighted to have your support on this journey!
