LaterPay is seeking a Front-End Engineer

Who we are

With LaterPay, we want to change the way people buy and sell digital content on the Internet. Why? Because we believe paying for digital content should be fast, convenient, and fair. And because we think you should be able to buy the exact piece of content you want.

We want to create a great software product which influences and changes the way people use paid content of any kind on the Internet. The usage of paid content should be as easy and convenient as going out to dinner: you are served first and pay later. We want to build a user-centric product that makes users feel smart. It should represent the simplest, most secure way to buy digital goods. We want to change the way people regard paid content, turning it into a great experience. We want to enable businesses to offer "paid content as a service" convincing users of their content's value instead of forcing them to pay before actually getting the content.

Here at LaterPay we believe that work is about doing something you enjoy and that it should be self motivating. This is a hands-on position where you will lead by example, oversee project and architecture decisions and help others build the next big thing.

What we have

Our back-end stack is primarily built around Python/Django, so some of our services use the Django Templating Language for HTML.

Out front-end stack varies from project to project but we primarily use these technologies:

  • Gulp
  • NPM for dependency management
  • The inuit.css Framework
  • CommonJS modules used with browserify
  • React.js

Slack, JIRA, and GitHub are our working tools for communication and code.

Things we're particularly looking for

  • Knowledge of creating high performance websites and web-apps
  • Experience writing component-based CSS and JavaScript (following CommonJS)
  • Knowing how to configure Gulp and extend the toolchain if necessary
  • Ideally, you have some experience with building widgets or web components

We want to create an environment of excellence in which performance meets comfort and fun. We have an office, located in the center of Munich next to the Isar River, with comfortable chairs, the latest MacBooks, and excellent coffee. However, as a team from eleven different nations, many of us also work remotely, with regular meet-ups in beautiful Munich. Remote work is absolutely possible, part of our daily routine, and very much encouraged.

Please feel free to contact cornelius@laterpay.net if you have any questions.

If you would like to apply, please send your CV, your salary expectations and a possible starting date to jobs@laterpay.net.
