Senior Frontend Software Engineer @ UnityCMS

Hello there! We are Raffael, Julien, Iryna, Dhanesh and Eric and we are looking for an enthusiastic Frontend Developer to join our growing frontend development team currently located in Zurich and Lausanne.

How can we maximize the productivity of our end-users? Is our architecture flexible enough to support all the future product requirements? What is “the right” amount of automated end-to-end testing? Those are some of the questions that drive us in our day-to-day work.

Why do we need a new team member?

We analyze, we develop, we learn from our failures and we grow with the additional requirements and new technologies, frameworks and libraries we learn along the way.

We are looking for someone who shares the same spirit.

There are many exciting new features on the roadmap that need to be implemented but also some shortcuts have been taken in the past, lessons learned, and technical debt created which would need your senior expertise in the team to make our product even better.

Our input on how to improve the product to make it even better with every release is valued and we expect the same from you.

You will help us to build up the frontend team in Belgrade - but do not worry - we have an established backend team who will be closely working with you.

What is TX Services? How are we connected?

TX Services is not an outsourcing company. TX Services is a part of TX Group, Switzerland’s leading digital hub. Our employees, together with colleagues from Switzerland, France and Germany are developing more than 30 different products for the Swiss market. One part of TX Group is also a Content Publishing Solutions where this role is located.

What do we work on?

Our team is responsible for developing the UI for Unity - a multi-tenant cloud-based headless CMS (Content Management System) which is used by major news brands in Switzerland (20min.ch, tagesanzeiger.ch to name a two). About a thousand editors use our CMS and millions read the articles written in it every day. It is a central hub for editorial staff, which empowers writers and journalists to publish, review and distribute different types of media and articles to our variety of online news sites and platforms and soon print as well.

We work closely with our Product Owner, Requirements Engineer, Scrum Master, and the backend and feed content distribution team who are also based in Belgrade, Zurich and Lausanne.
