About this role

Salary: CHF 60'000 - 80'000 per year

Requirements:

What we're looking for
* 4+ years of frontend engineering experience with modern JavaScript (vanilla) or frameworks such as React, Vue, SvelteKit or Next.js.
* Strong command of modern TypeScript in a complex B2B or technical product environment.
* Experience with AI developer tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, etc.).
* Proven track record shipping scalable, user-friendly interfaces in fast-moving environments.
* Solid understanding of frontend performance, testing, and CI/CD practices.
* Comfortable working directly with users — you can run a discovery conversation and translate what you hear into product decisions.
* Comfortable making progress when the path isn't fully defined — you can scope, prioritise, and ship without waiting for perfect clarity.
* Clear communicator who collaborates well across a team, including with non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities:

The Role
Frontend development is being reinvented, and we want someone leading that charge at Scalera. You'll use AI tooling to ship at a pace that raises the bar for the whole team, while bringing real UI/UX craft to a complex product that rewards it. You'll work directly with users, own the experience end-to-end, and define what great looks like at Scalera.
The problems we work on are rarely solved with off-the-shelf tools. We value engineers who are comfortable exploring, iterating, and discovering the right solution through experimentation.
What You’ll Do
* Lead frontend development with React and Next.js, building interfaces that make AI-driven procurement workflows accessible and intuitive.
* Collaborate with backend engineers on API contracts and integrations, ensuring seamless data flow between services and UI.
* Own frontend performance, accessibility, and code quality — setting standards and maintaining them as the product scales.
* Work directly with users and customers to understand pain points and translate them into product improvements.
* Ship features end-to-end: from problem discovery through implementation, testing, and production.
* Contribute to UI/UX decisions. You don't need to be a designer, but you should have strong instincts for what makes a complex interface work.
