Role
Who you are
- Strong front-end web development skills (we use Typescript/React/Redux/Next/Rest)

- Ability to communicate complex (technical) topics clearly to non-technical and technical audiences either digitally or verbally (we use Slack, emails, Notion, and video calls)
- Excellent written communication (our working language is English)
- Affinity for design, user experience, and excellent UI implementation skills
- A pragmatic problem-solving approach: balancing the need to create future-proof solutions with the need to get them done
- Self-directed, analytical, highly responsible and working well in a team environment
- Broad technical and creative interests (we'd love to see any side projects you've done)
- This is what we need: Someone who is a passionate learner, who isn't afraid of new tools and technologies to build great customer experiences, and who loves to share their knowledge and experience
What the job involves

- Work with engineers across many teams to design solid conventions and solutions across all of our code

Our take
WeTransfer is a platform that allows users to send files quickly. The founders created the service with the aspiration to become the simplest way to send big files around the world.
The company differentiates itself through the fact that it's a certified B corporation. Even though WeTransfer is mainly known for its file-sharing service, the company operates a number of other services, such as Collect (tool encouraging creation and collaboration), Paper (sketching app) and Paste (collaborative presentation tool). One of the main goals of the organisation in the following period is to raise awareness of these services.
Over the coming years, WeTransfer is looking to continue its product development to ensure it remains competitive against the likes of Dropbox and Google Drive.
