Senior Frontend Software Engineer - React.Js or Next.Js

Here at Mindera, we are continuously developing a fantastic team, and would love it for you to join us.
We are looking for a Frontend Software Engineer who not only brings strong technical skills but also excels in team fit, communication, and collaboration.

You will be responsible for designing and building high-performance, secure, and scalable front-end solutions — with a strong focus on React and modern JavaScript, along with server-side rendering concepts (e.g., Node.js) to create seamless, isomorphic applications.

If you are approachable, communicate clearly, and enjoy working in a collaborative and positive team environment, we’d love to hear from you.

National and international expected traveling time varies according to project/client and organisational needs: 0%-15% estimated.

• Soft Skills – Top Priority
• Clear and effective communication, able to express ideas and collaborate efficiently in a team.
• Strong English proficiency.
• Approachable and easy to work with, contributing to a positive team atmosphere.
• Team fit is key — we value people who are enjoyable to work with as much as technical skills.
• Technical Skills
• Strong experience in React.js (experience with Next.js is a plus).
• Solid understanding of server-side concepts, including:
• Rendering and generation strategies
• Prefetching strategies
• Isomorphic applications
• Good knowledge of Node.js (experience with Deno is a plus).
• Experience working with Redux or similar state management tools.
• Familiarity with GraphQL and REST APIs.
• Solid skills in HTML5, CSS3, and CSS pre/post-processors (SASS, LESS, PostCSS).
• Experience with testing frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, and Enzyme.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes (as a client), and AWS is a plus.
• Knowledge of performance optimization, observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Core Web Vitals), SEO, and accessibility best practices.
• Varied tech experience is highly valued — exposure to different stacks and environments.
• Ways of working
• Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.
• Passionate, self-driven, and comfortable working with little supervision.

The Things We Really Care About:

• Health Insurance, because health comes first
• Flexible working hours
• Open holidays, take the time you need for yourself
• Profit distribution for everyone
• Mindera Annual Trip, Sports, and sharing groups to connect and have fun!
• Training & conferences, create your own training plan
• Child Care vouchers

Other Good Things:

• Choose Laptop & Peripherals that best suit your needs
• Hotspot with unlimited usage (PT), for work or Netflix ;)
• We have amazing offices in Porto, Aveiro, and Coimbra if you want to physically connect with minders. Remote from Portugal is also an option. Remote from other Countries will depend on your current location and Projects.
• At the offices, we have a wide range of snacks to keep you fed and healthy
• Partnerships with local businesses

Most of all You get to work with a bunch of great people, where the whole team owns the project together in a politics-free environment. Our culture reflects our lean and self-organization attitude. We encourage our colleagues to take risks, make decisions, work in a collaborative way and talk to everyone to enhance communication. Freedom and Responsibility go hand in hand, and we value commitment, feedback, and empathy.
