Senior Front-end Developer en Barcelona

Caravelo is a travel-tech company with a global team and roots in Barcelona that specializes in subscriptions. We make travel better and more accessible by enabling our clients to offer better products and helping them to become more profitable and more stable businesses.

We are looking for a Senior Front-end Developer, willing to contribute to the building of a unique component library for our domain (travel subscriptions) and lead the transformation of our Frontend architecture from the baseline.

There’s an existing platform written in Laravel that will be encapsulated to open the opportunity for this transformation. The new, modern, architecture will include: APIs, backend for frontend and micro front ends for high scalability.

• Implement and extend user interfaces for our SaaS platform, support new use cases with analysis and implementation.
• Adhere to Frontend Engineering standards and best practices.
• Good estimation of complexity and delivery time.
• Develop reusable components, through clean code that is simple and efficient.
• Consume APIs.
• Good estimation of technical debt, detecting current debt and alerting the team when we are generating more. Actively propose improvements to reduce technical debt.
• Personalize our existing product lines to fit our client’s needs. Also turn personalization into plugins and web components that contribute to our mission of scaling up and avoid cluttering our main platform.
• Continuous refactor of code from oneself and others, with the aim of simplifying, modularizing, improving performance and having stable code.
• Create great technical documentation.
• Setup and perform UATs with clients.

• You will have completed your onboarding, which will include an understanding of the business at a high level, the composition of the place in terms of the platform modules and its technical debt, you will carry out pair-programming with some members of the Engineering team so that you understand the challenges from within and in the day to day.
• You will be familiar with (almost) all subdomains of knowledge and know who to turn to when in doubt.
• You will know, test and confirm the pain points of the actual implementation and will start having in your mind what needs to be changed.

• You will have already got hold of the FrontEnd team and the mission to achieve, having a very clear idea of the steps to take in the short and medium term.
• You will master the Columbus frontend from cover to cover and have contributed to it through your first deployments. You will be immersed in this planning of the new architecture, proposing scenarios and alternatives that help make decisions with the entire team aligned.

• At this point, you will no longer be directly involved in low-level definitions, but you will have contributed to the construction of the Front at a high level and you will contribute to strategic team and technology decisions that help achieve Caravelo's mission: ⚡ (Reminder: we want to conquer the Subscription space in the Travel sector!!)
