The Digital Experience team at SOUNDBOKS is a part of the Commercial organisation. The team focuses on building our owned platforms, both the website and the mobile app, and ensures delivering the best possible and harmonious digital experience to our customers.

As a Frontend Engineer at SOUNDBOKS, you will be a part of a team consisting of developers, a QA engineer and designers in order to implement a cohesive UI/UX across the platforms, including the mobile app. It’s a dynamic role where the eye for design comes in handy and your natural instinct for fine-tuning will help solidify future solutions.

• Ad-hoc assisting with the maintenance of our web shop where front-end expertise is needed, ensuring continued ease of use of CMS for our content specialists.
• Ensuring our public-facing UI implementations meet accessibility (a11y) standards where required.
• Adapting best practices from our QA engineer in ensuring well tested features and key user-flows across the projects you are a part of.

Cross functional Collaboration and Support

• Collaborating with stakeholders and engineers from product and other commercial teams in implementing frontend solutions that fit their use cases.
• Helping with documenting the solutions and feature definitions, in order to ensure easy maintenance and continuous improvement in the future.
• Help drive our agile way of working, allowing for efficient processes around our projects.

• You’ve got a good understanding of agile (SCRUM) methodologies and have used the practices in your work with both internal and external stakeholders.
