Would you like to be a part of Prisma.fi’s next chapter? The new completely rewritten webstore was launched in 2023 and now we’re eagerly developing it to become the leader in the market and want you to jump in on our bandwagon! The Northern Stars of this new era are client-centric and omni-channel thinking, data-drivenness and optimization of supply chains.

Lead Frontend Engineer, Prisma.fi

We are looking for an experienced frontend-oriented fullstack engineer to develop our new and improved Prisma.fi store. During 2023 we finalized all the mandatory functions with the website and now we are moving forward with new features. In your role, you would take part in our customer-facing services, product data pipelines or order management services, and mentor and facilitate other people’s work. The squad you would be joining is focused on improving the customer experience and commercial performance of prisma.fi. We hope that you are active in forming the technical decisions within the squad so that the technical stack remains future proof from the whole store’s point of view. Leading by example and supporting the team is something you do on a day-to-day basis. We would also be excited if you had experience with information security, site reliability engineering or architecture design.

About our Prisma.fi store

We are utilizing a headless e Com engine in the background while building our own frontend and supporting backend microservices. Codewise you’ll be bumping into Type Script, Node.js, React, Next.js and Vercel. The infra is built on AWS API Gateway, Lambda, Dynamo DB and EKS – using Serverless framework, Terraform and Gitlab pipelines for deployment. The teams manage their own cloud deployment as well as the CI/CD pipelines, but there’s always expertise available from the Dev Ops & Developer Experience team.

We work closely within the team but also communicate a lot with other teams – so hopefully you love the communicative working style. We also work in a hybrid setting with at least one office day per week, though some of us like to spend more time at the office.

What we hope from you

• Deep understanding in Next.JS, Type Script and AWS Services (Lambda, API Gateway etc.)
• Fluent English in work related matters
• Clear and proactive communication
• Interest in mentoring and facilitating

Previous experience of developing e Commerce solutions is very much appreciated but not required – we also appreciate Dev Ops experience, testing and QA knowledge as well as usability and accessibility background.

What we offer in return

On top of a respectful salary, superb company benefits and the finest colleagues, this is what we offer in return:

• Influence and responsibility. Our engineers have a lot of freedom in their work and we want to support a nurturing environment
• Ownership. You’re creating services directly for the end-users. You’re not visiting a project; you own the product
• Workplace democracy. Our ways of working are not set in stone. Together we’ll continuously improve the ways of developing products and services in the biggest private employer in Finland.
• Reasonable workload. Our supportive community with its great ways of working, setting realistic expectations and the possibility of hybrid work all adds up to less stress for you
• An opportunity to gain know-how and technical competence in wide-ranging technology domains (like web, mobile and cloud) as well as business sectors (restaurants, hotels, online retail and service stations)
• An opportunity to improve and influence the daily lives of millions of people
• Concrete and rewarding end-results, which you can experience yourself by using S Group’s services, when doing your grocery shopping, fueling or staying in a hotel, for example
