Senior Frontend Engineer

About Carla At Carla, we believe that more people should be able to drive electric vehicles. Therefore, we have set out to build the safest, most convenient and transparent way to sell and buy electric cars online. Founded in Stockholm in 2020 with strong venture capital backing, we’ve come a long way in changing how people buy and sell cars. Our journey continues, and we’re looking for curious, driven people to help shape what comes next. Recruitment need We are looking for a skilled Senior Frontend Engineer to contribute to the technical development of products within our Product & Tech team. You will join our Operations team, developing the tailor-made internal tools that power our business – from our in-house inspection tool and partner portal to workshop planning and spare parts management. Everything is built in-house and used across the whole business, and in general we rely on very few third-party systems in our daily work. That means what you build directly shapes how everyone at Carla works. Your deepest expertise is in frontend (TypeScript and React), and you care about crafting software that feels natural, honest and joyful to use, as well as technically robust and easy to maintain. We are increasingly moving towards full-stack engineering, so you should be keen to solve problems end-to-end, including in our Go backend when needed. We value engineers who combine strong engineering fundamentals with curiosity for modern tools, including AI-assisted development, to increase their impact and effectiveness. If you enjoy working close to real business problems, collaborating across product engineering, and building tools that make a real difference for our colleagues, this role is for you! Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To Hands-On Frontend Development

• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, primarily in TypeScript and React, for our internal tools and applications that are critical for our operations, including inspection, workshop planning, quality control and beyond
• Work end-to-end when needed, including in our Go backend, to deliver complete solutions
• Use modern development tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to improve your speed, quality and impact as an engineer
• Care deeply about the details of usability and performance

System Optimization and Improvement

• Improve our codebase by making it easier to understand, test, maintain and evolve over time
• Manage technical debt by refactoring code and improving existing systems

Collaboration and Problem-Solving

• Build software in a cross-functional team with UX design, product and engineering working together as one
• Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback to improve code quality, clarity and long-term maintainability across the team
• Lead through example and empower the people around you

Qualifications We believe that the ideal candidate has:

• 5+ years of experience as a frontend engineer and solid software architecture fundamentals
• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and React
• Experience with backend development, or at least a strong interest in solving problems full-stack
• Curious and pragmatic in using AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering effectiveness, all the way from planning to execution and reviews, as well as shaping our codebase, tooling and guardrails so AI agents can do quality work
• Good communication skills and a collaborative, product-minded approach. You enjoy discussing different solutions to technical as well as UX problems
• A plus if you have experience building systems that support operational workflows or internal tools at scale

• GraphQL
• Go
• PostgreSQL
