About Withlocals

Withlocals’ aim is to connect people and cultures through traveling. We work hard with locals around the world to give our guests unique and personalized travel experiences: together we show them the hidden gems of a city they would not discover otherwise.

Withlocals started 5 years ago, but thanks to another round of funding earlier this year we are really taking off, on our way to become the market leaders for personalized travel experiences. So yes, you can call us a startup!

We have a small but brilliant development team of 10 developers, and we are part of an international bunch of over 40 people working together in our office in Eindhoven, in the Netherlands.

The frontend

The frontend team (5 of us) is creating a SPA in React from our current website. We do this by refactoring every module to our Cordova app. When we are done with this, we will roll out this new SPA to the web as well.

Next to good knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS (more specifically LESS), it is important you have a good knowledge of functional and reactive programming. You also know how to configure a webpack project. And, of course, you love building a memorable user experience! Some exciting things the frontend team is working on:

  • Create one SPA shared codebase for web and the Cordova app.
  • Server side rendering the SPA.
  • Maintain and build in-house back-office tools.

Shortlist of required skills:

  • Minimum of 5 years of frontend-development experience
  • Experience with React, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, Webpack
  • Building SPAs
  • Experienced with sketch design
  • User Interface wireframing
  • At least 5 years experience with LESS
  • UI/UX design knowledge
  • Able to analyze user interfaces and identify optimizations
  • Versioning control systems (Git)
  • Knowledge of product development processes
  • Scrum techniques (Agile, Kanban)
  • Native speaker of a non-Latin language (e.g. Russian, Chinese)
  • Experience with localization of SPAs and mobile apps
  • Expert knowledge of Cordova and app ecosystem
  • Experience with Jira and Trello
  • Ability to move and modernize backend pages into SPA frontend code
  • Experience with embedding reactive video into React pages while maintaining compatibility with different devices
  • Worked with modern communication tools like Slack, Hangouts and Fellow
  • Knowledge of the travel industry
  • Being able to work independently in a (remote) team

Why Withlocals?
