**THE ROLE & THE TEAM

As a Frontend Engineer, you will be building the foundation of our Partner Portal. Using the portal our partners can build their brands on the Zalando Platform by creating articles, managing their sales, managing users and of course connecting other technical service providers to use Zalando’s APIs to develop applications on their behalf.

You will join one of our foundation teams that is responsible for ensuring consistent UI and UX by contributing to our custom component library. You will help build new services using Node.js and will also contribute and shape the future of the underlying portal framework as well as the accompanying SDK which is used by application teams to build on top of the platform. You will also have a direct influence on the developer experience of other teams as they build new features for their applications using methods from the SDK or framework Portal.
