About Awork

We believe in work that brings joy to everyone on the team and do everything to make project chaos a thing of the past. With awork, we provide the project management tool that agencies need to achieve great things.

Our customers use it to plan the world's best advertising campaigns, organise elections, and produce feature films. We get a little teary-eyed with pride when we think about it.

‍We'd be thrilled if you want to become part of it.

Position

We’re aiming high! Our vision: By 2030, over 100,000 teams around the world will use awork.

And our engineering team plays a key role in bringing that vision to life. Our product is at the heart of what we do – and you’ll help shape it.

As a Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) on our Work Management feature team, you’ll build delightful features, evolve our technical architecture, and ensure our web app performs beautifully. Your work will reduce friction in daily planning for thousands of teams. Our current planning tool is powerful but complex. Your mission: make it feel effortless without losing capability. You’ll introduce new workflows for our users, helping them reduce the busywork and making their work more fun. You’ll work closely with your teammates (including Annalisa and Marcello), collaborate cross-functionally with product design and backend, and report directly to Marci, our Frontend Team Lead.

Here are some projects you might help ship in your first month:

• Simplify the planning workflow, making it more intuitive while keeping power-user depth.
• Rework and improve the performance and capabilities of our powerful task lists.
• Ship AI-assisted automations and workflows for tasks and projects.
  
  

Let’s build something amazing – together.

Here's The Job

• Develop new features for our Angular-based web app (v20) – from idea to release
• Collaborate closely with product, design and backend teams during planning and implementation
• Write clean, scalable code with a strong focus on performance and user experience
• Make use of the latest AI tools to deliver impactful customer value faster
• Review and merge pull requests, share feedback and mentor other engineers
• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs using modern monitoring tools
  
  

Technologies

• Angular 20
• Angular Signals
• Typescript
• RxJS
• REST API
• GitHub & Copilot
• Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.
  
  

Your qualification

• You bring strong frontend experience (5+ years) building complex web apps. Angular experience is a plus, but we value engineers who learn fast and bring product thinking from any modern framework.
• You are experienced building delightful user-facing features.
• You have a good understanding of modern frontend architecture, including state management, API integration, testing, and performance optimization.
• You have good experience with modern AI-assisted software development.
• You are comfortable working cross-functionally and contributing to product and technical discussions.
• You have strong English communication skills (C1 level written and spoken).
  
  

What Makes You Successful In This Role

• You take ownership of your projects and drive them to completion. Think small PRs, frequent shipping, continuous iteration. This is what delivers customer value.
• You challenge product decisions with technical insight and always aim for the best solution. Engineers co-own discovery: you’ll join problem framing, not just solution building.
• You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across teams, which is particularly important in our hybrid setup.
• You have a strong eye for design consistency and a deep sense of user empathy. You spot friction in workflows, spot typos and weird default texts and identify places where we can delight our users.
• You care about maintainability, accessibility, and performance. Your code reviews focus on DX and UX, not just correctness.
• You propose experiments and improvement ideas based on data and customer feedback beyond your direct ownership scope to improve the entire product, team and company.
  
  

What we offer

• We make teams happy: We have incredibly happy customers, which makes creating content for awork even more rewarding.
• Dream team: Our engineering team has a lot of fun evolving our product together and meeting the needs of our customers. Together with your team, you will have a big impact on awork’s growth.
• We live our values: “Be an adventurer” is one of our core values, and we take it seriously. We constantly try new things and focus on learning to keep improving.
• Team culture: Building a team of smart, communicative, and fun experts is our top priority. If you’ve checked us out, you’ve probably noticed how seriously we take team culture.
• Ownership: Startup life is a wild ride, but it’s full of excitement and opportunities for growth. The awork team is growing and learning together. Everyone has their own area of responsibility where they are encouraged to make decisions.
  
  

Additional details

We’re a hybrid team, so we’re looking for someone comfortable with asynchronous communication and collaboration, but also excited to spend time with the team. We use tools like Slack, Zoom, Docs and of course, awork, to stay organized. We love coming together as a team—whether remote or in person. In our first chat, we’d be happy to tell you more about our team culture at awork.
