We are Heureka Group, the largest e-commerce platform operating in nine markets of Central and Eastern Europe. More than 20 million users come to us for advice every month, and we are among the top comparators and shopping advisors in all the countries where we operate.

More About Your Team

You will build and lead a development team of 5 engineers - helping them grow and develop themselves. You will cooperate with the Scrum Master, Product Manager, UX, and other specialists daily. The team works hybrid - 2 - 3 days in the office. We are currently working on a challenge to get our micro-frontends from the Czech Heureka to a total of nine Central and Eastern European countries where Heureka Group operates. This quarter we will be implementing personification features on the homepage. Also, we would like to improve our Category with new features.

What will we create together?

We have several micro-frontends on Heureka, including the footer, main navigation, homepage content, and our vast category application. We utilize our Hanoi platform to compose and test varied tech applications. Using Node.js with TypeScript and React, we develop applications, significantly tested to ensure high-quality user-facing end products. 

We're merging three platforms into one, using a unified database to build a cohesive visual experience for users, accounting for language variations and country-specific offers.
