We are looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to join us, either remotely or at our Berlin office. We are growing and need support in our team’s mission to engage our users and make more people climate-active!

As an engineer at Ecosia, you will work with a recently formed cross-functional team to support our marketing efforts by improving communication channels with our users, from acquisition to retention. We want candidates with a JavaScript background who can manage their own tasks and work closely with our marketing team. Day-to-day, you will dive deep into our frontend (including backend-of-the-frontend) tech stack, improving the capabilities of our user engagement platform (Braze), creating landing pages, building emails, improving conversion tracking, and more.

Do you want to become part of a great team, shape a product used by millions of users daily, and help regenerate our ecosystem? Join us!

Your chance to contribute meaningfully

• Build, test, and deploy different products and integrations inside Ecosia products (client and server-side).

• Contribute to a range of marketing needs, including CRM and analytics tooling integration, email, notifications, and other communication touch points with our users.

• Collaborate with engineers from different teams, sharing what you know and learning from their experience.

Your areas of knowledge and proficiency

Optional Advantages:

• Experience with:

  • Marketing conversion tracking technologies, e.g., Google Tag Manager.

  • Marketing content tools, e.g., Braze, HubSpot.

  • Typescript and static site generators, in Vue.js or equivalent (e.g., React).

Process:

Technology stack (marketing)

We don’t expect you to have experience with all of the above, but if you’re curious to learn and pair across these technologies, this could be a good match!
