Front-end (Angular) Engineer

Do you want to make a significant impact and shape the future of Angular web applications? At Zivver, you can.

We’re currently looking for an Angular Engineer to help us bring new products to the market. You’ll be working closely with designers, product managers, customer-facing teams and other engineers to build new features and continuously enhance our existing ones.

At Zivver, we're building the future of secure digital communications. Our platform (a SaaS application that is served to our users as an Angular web application, Outlook web add-in, Chrome extension, mobile app and several other frontends) helps hundreds of thousands of users secure their sensitive digital communications, and we're growing globally.

Our guiding philosophy is that secure communication requires excellent usability. As an engineer, that's where you'll be making your most significant impact!

• At least €1000 per year on personal development budget.
