Are you an experienced Senior Frontend Developer who enjoys working in a dynamic, fast-changing environment? Do you want to use your expertise to take the front-end of our web and mobile applications to the next level? At MyWheels, you will have the chance to make an impact by working on complex, scalable solutions for our users.

As a Senior Frontend Software Developer, you will not only be involved in software development but also in making important architectural decisions and improving code quality.

About MyWheels

MyWheels is the fastest-growing car-sharing company in the Netherlands, working toward an ambitious mission: reducing the number of cars on the road from 9 million to just 1 million. This number is sufficient to keep the Netherlands mobile without everyone needing to own a car. With MyWheels, there is always a car-sharing option within walking distance. The convenience of a car without the burdens of ownership not only provides a sense of freedom but also contributes to a better environment and more livable cities. Fewer cars mean fewer parking spaces, allowing more room for greenery and other amenities that enhance city life.

With a fleet of 3,000 cars and market leadership in car-sharing since 2022, MyWheels is now taking an important next step: the integration of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. This innovative system allows energy to be stored in electric shared cars and returned to the grid during peak hours. The shared cars thus function as mobile neighborhood batteries, improving mobility and contributing to the energy transition. Together with partners such as Renault Group and We Drive Solar, MyWheels is accelerating the transition to a sustainable and self-sufficient future.

As a Senior Frontend Software Developer at MyWheels, you will contribute to this revolutionary mission. You will help further develop innovative technologies like V2G and integrate them into our user-friendly platforms, making the Netherlands more sustainable together.

About the Technology Team

The MyWheels Technology Team currently consists of 2 scrum teams:

• Team Account & Pay
• Team Book & Drive

These teams manage the APIs and 3 front-end applications, including the beating heart of MyWheels: the mobile app (built with React Native and Expo), the business management environment, and the back office (both built with React and Next.js) for employees. Each team has a Product Owner who manages the team’s domain.

As part of our team, you will also become a member of the Frontend Guild, where we meet weekly to discuss how we can improve the quality of our front-end and implement new techniques. We use tools like TanStack Query, Jotai/Zustand, Jest (and other testing libraries), Tailwind, Reanimated, Figma, Jira, and more.

Your Role as Senior Frontend Software Developer

As a Senior Frontend Software Developer, you will work closely with other front-end and back-end developers, as well as a Product Owner within a scrum team. You will play a crucial role in developing new features, maintaining and optimizing our applications, and ensuring an efficient and stable user experience. You will contribute to technical solutions for complex challenges, such as translating business requirements into scalable and high-performing UIs.

In addition, you will be responsible for code reviews, writing automated tests, and mentoring junior and mid-level developers. You will have the opportunity to make important software architecture decisions and assist your team members with handling incidents. In daily collaboration with your team, you will actively contribute to the progress of the project and ensure priorities are well-aligned. You will ensure that features are delivered on time, well-tested, and do not cause regressions in production. In short, you will not only deliver code but also think about the bigger picture and the long-term success of the application.
