Senior TypeScript Developer (m/w/d) ID and Personalization Products

Who we are:

Join the ID team at Süddeutsche Zeitung in Munich, crafting personalized digital products used by millions. You are a Typescript expert experienced in CI/CD and agile methodologies for collaborative problem-solving in a hybrid office setting. You will be joining the ID team of Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) based in our Munich skyrise (20th floor) overlooking the city, where on sunny days we enjoy a panoramic view of the Alps. The team is cross-functional and builds ID and personalisation products for use in the digital products of the SZ. Every logged in customer of the SZ uses your products for registering, exploring the most interesting content, commenting and other features like bookmarking and gaming. We use a lot of software from the Piano suite of products, which is a specialized vendor for publishers' needs. We work closely with the team that runs our paywall, the Data Science team as well as other product teams on personalisation products.

Who you are:

• You are a Typescript expert and love developing Node applications
• You are experienced with a CI/CD pipeline (we use GitHub Actions)
• You are able and willing to write HTML and CSS with and without a JS framework, but within a design system
• We care for quality code and team knowledge, and we pair program a lot. Code review is essential
• You're familiar with infrastructure as code (we use AWS)
• You're into finding things out with data and have experience with A/B-testing
• You're an experienced developer and want to pass on that knowledge to your team mates
• You speak very good English or German 

What you will do:

• You want to work in an empowered 6-person team that works in a hybrid setting (a couple of days per week in the office; we enjoy quarterly team retros; and we sometimes meet for fun - board games, biergarten or movie night)
• Discovery plus delivery: you love collaborating with others to find problems worth solving - and then solve them as a team
• You strive for quality on a product that is seen by millions of people every month (documentation of complicated systems and edge cases is your friend; solid error handling as well)
• You like to work in a team and will document your work so that others can build upon it
• You have worked in an agile setting before
