Your everyday life as a Senior Frontend Developer at Fondion and why we’re looking for you
Here’s a bit of info about the background: Our SaaS product holds critical financial data for easier decision-making for businesses, so for that reason, we have built high-quality code. Our product business, founded in 2020 with strong specs and industry insight, now has 100+ construction industry customers but aims for sector-independence.
We are constantly receiving ideas from customers that love our product – and to develop our product for the changing world, including the green transition in construction, we need to strengthen our developer team!
And this is where you enter the game! We are looking for your expertise and vision to take over our frontend development and taking the ideas into practice. You would be the first Senior Frontend Developer in our experienced team now consisting of our Tech Lead Kimi, five developers and a designer. You'd join us to take care of creating production grade and easy-to-use software with sufficient level of automated tests.
Your tasks include new, more complex features, for which there is no ready-made library, but a custom implementation is expected.
We admire easy-to-use solutions. Our tech stack was chosen in our early days, but it has served us well and given us opportunities to create nice solutions for our customers.You might be the most interested in our front-end tools Typescript, React and Material UI. The backend is built with Python, FastAPI with mypy, and the whole thing is running on AWS built with Terraform. We have some technical debt, but it has been pretty well identified and refactored as part of feature development, but also via separate maintenance epics.
The question that you will be asked a lot is: What is The Fondion Style – how will we do things on the frontend side in the future? We look forward to hanving you on the team bringing this expertise! In addition, you will be a crucial part of our team and culture building.

You might be interested to know that we focus strongly on developer experience. We have adopted Trunk Based Development model and our goal is to have a cycle time between 2 to 4 days (starting from implementation until deployed to production). This requires smooth processes and tools. So far, our team has been enjoying our development practices and you would be part of developing them even further!
Why join Fondion?
Even if we are an early stage startup and a growing team, we have learned our lessons about the product development strategy, scheduling, and expectation management – the things that are there to learn in the early stages of a SaaS startup.
Our emphasis has been on the developer experience, the best practices, writing great code in a sensible way. We have a three-year-old code base, but the team is quite young – no one has been dealing with this code base for a very long time yet. Our engineering team's attitude is that "well, someone has done it that way before, but now we will do it this way!" This means, that you don't have to be rooted in legacy, but you can edit and build new.
You will become a part of a working environment that appreciates great leadership, learning, integrity, openness, proactivity and ownership. We really value every new team member joining us, and wish they’d share the same humane and open mindset that we have. We are a multicultural environment and put a lot of focus on building a diverse team of people with versatile backgrounds.
Fondion's first customers love the product, which practically solves specific and critical business problems of the construction industry. Month after month, we have set sales records, and in the coming months, we are about to start expanding in the international markets and becoming sector-independent. This is genuinely an exciting time for you to join our story!
