Frontend Software Engineer - React (m/f/d)

Company Description

 

Job Description

Sixt is building toward a spec-and-review way of working: engineers turn product problems into clear specifications, direct AI coding agents to build them, and own the quality of what ships. This role sits at that level — you deliver primarily by specifying and reviewing, backed by the frontend depth to read, debug, and stand behind every change.

YOUR ROLE AT SIXT

• Turn ambiguous product problems into clear, testable specifications — success criteria and edge cases spelled out — that agents can execute against
• Work with AI tools, adapt and improve agentic ecosystem by building strong guardrails and processes that keeps the product stable
• Drive agents in small, verifiable steps, correcting and re-steering when the output drifts from intent
• Own what your agents ship to production: debug to root cause, and encode prevention — a test, a lint rule, an agent constraint — so the same issue is caught automatically next time.
• Ship medium-to-complex features end-to-end with minimal guidance
• Deliver production-quality, reusable React components and integrate reliably with backend

 

YOUR SKILLS MATTER

• Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science or a related field, with 3–6 years of frontend software engineering experience.
• Strong React.js — component contracts, state management, rendering/performance behavior — with a solid grasp of how the browser parses, renders, and paints a page, enough to guide AI toward semantic, accessible HTML. Depth is important: it lets you review and trust agent output.
• Proficient with HTML, CSS, JSON, build tools, and Git, with excellent debugging skills. Treats cross-browser compatibility and measurable frontend performance as defaults, not afterthoughts.
• Sets up agentic workflows: delegates well-scoped tasks to AI agents, reviews output critically for correctness, standards, and architectural drift, recognises low-value output and course-corrects before it merges — and can explain any of it.
• Shares agent workflows to speed up the team and onboard them on good AI practices, discuss trade-offs in reliability, performance, and correctness with the team
• Good problem-solving and communication with strong ownership across execution and delivery: collaborates with Product/peers, challenges unclear framing, builds judgment on architecture and outcomes
