Senior Frontend Developer

Landfolk is looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to help us build the best experience for discovering and booking premium holiday homes. You'll work in a small, ambitious team that takes craft seriously.

About the role

We're not looking for someone who just implements designs. We want a developer who cares about the entire experience

• from first paint to final interaction. Someone who understands that performance is a feature and that good UI is invisible.

You'll join our product team and work across our web platform: the guest experience from search to booking, the host dashboard where owners manage their properties, and the shared component library that ties it all together. We have interesting problems to solve: maps with thousands of markers, complex booking flows with payment integration, internationalization across multiple languages, and a custom-built admin platform that our operations team lives in daily.

This isn't a job where you'll be handed Figma files and expected to pixel-push. You'll shape features from the first sketch, push back when something doesn't make sense, and ship work you're genuinely proud of. We follow 6-week cycles inspired by where you'll have real autonomy to solve problems your way.

What you'll actually do

Here's what your work might look like:

• Build new features across our Next.js apps
• from search experiences to host tools (and React Native down the line)
• Improve our shared component library that powers every Landfolk interface
• Work with our GraphQL API to shape the data layer for new features
• Make things faster
• bundle sizes, render performance, Core Web Vitals
• Write TypeScript that your colleagues will thank you for later
• Review code, share knowledge, and help set the bar for frontend quality
• Collaborate directly with designers and backend engineers to ship complete features
• Occasionally dive into our Ruby/Rails backend when a feature needs it (Don’t worry, we have super experienced backend engineers who'll help you get up to speed)

About you

You've been building web applications for years and have opinions about how to do it well. Maybe you've been at a consultancy or agency, shipping projects for different clients, and now you want to own something

• to see it grow over years instead of handing it off after a few months. Or maybe you've already been at a product company and know the satisfaction of iterating on the same thing until it's actually good.

You write TypeScript fluently and understand its type system beyond the basics. You know React deeply

• not just hooks and components, but the mental model behind it. You've worked with GraphQL and understand why it's great and where it's annoying.

You use AI tools in your daily workflow. Whether it's Cursor, Claude, Codex, or whatever comes next

• you've figured out how these tools make you more effective without making you sloppy. You understand when to lean on AI and when to think for yourself. We're heavy users and early adopters of these tools, and we want someone who's equally comfortable navigating this new way of working.

You care about the details. Accessible forms, smooth animations, sensible loading states, keyboard navigation that actually works. You know these things matter even when no one explicitly asks for them.

You're comfortable being the frontend expert in the room, but you're not precious about it. You can explain technical trade-offs without jargon and change your mind when someone has a better idea.

The technical bits

Our stack is modern but not bleeding-edge. We pick technologies that let us move fast without constant maintenance:

• Next.js and React for our web applications
• TypeScript everywhere, strictly typed
• GraphQL for API communication
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Ruby on Rails backend (you don't need to be an expert)

Everything runs on Kubernetes. We use a pnpm monorepo with shared packages across apps.

Working at Landfolk

We work hybrid from our beautiful office in Aarhus. You'll have flexibility to work from home some days, but we believe the best products come from teams that actually work together. We care more about the work you produce than the hours you keep.

What it's like to work here:

• Low-distraction work environment: Focus on your work without constant meetings, "important" emails or one-off requests
• Being part of a great team: Work alongside specialists in tech, business, design, community and communication who love collaborating
• Flexible hybrid working: Split your time between our beautiful office and home, with flexible hours
• Culture: Casual tone, lots of laughs, and room for diversity. We're an entrepreneurial company full of drive and great team spirit
• Great coffee and food: Outstanding coffee, and we love to gather and celebrate
• eating well while we do
• Real ownership of the frontend platform
• Regular trips to beautiful holida
