Frontend Developer - Early Career

Who we are

Hi, we’re Cineville – a fast-growing film club for everyone who wants to see more. With one card, our members can discover great films in more than 250 cinemas across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Sweden. Almost 160,000 Cineville members now make over two million cinema visits a year.

We’re currently investing in strengthening our technical foundations – reducing tech debt and improving performance, security and reliability – so that Cineville can continue to grow. That work makes it easier and faster to build new products and features in the future.

To support this next phase, we are looking for a Frontend Developer in their early career to join and strengthen our Development Team. Your work will directly support affiliated theaters, international Cineville teams, and most of all: our members. You will be part of our Development team, which right now includes three backend developers, two frontend developers, a product owner, and a data analyst, supported by the Director of Software and Services.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and maintaining several websites and applications, both public facing and for internal use.

• Contribute to the design process with the team.

• Identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the development process.

• Ensure that all code is well-documented, safe, optimized for performance and follows best practices.

• Work closely with the other developers, the product owner, and other stakeholders to understand project requirements and ensure that your implementations meet their expectations.

• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other team members.

What you’ll be working on

Cineville’s success is powered by our own software ecosystem, built around two main systems: Cineville Digital and CultureKit.

Cineville Digital consists of our public-facing website, mobile app, and internal Content Management System (CMS). The website and app give our members access to information about Cineville, affiliated cinemas, films, festivals, reviews, articles, and their digital Cineville pass. Behind the scenes, the CMS enables our content team to efficiently create, manage, and publish all of this – from film articles to cinema details – using structured templates that serve both the website and app.

CultureKit is the core subscription and membership platform for Cineville, Podiumpas, and Nonstop Kino – the heart of Cineville’s software infrastructure. Built as a set of microservices on Google Cloud Platform, it is developed, managed, and hosted by the Cineville tech team and powers everything from memberships and billing to integrations with cinemas.

Who you are

• You have around two years of experience as a frontend developer in a professional engineering environment - preferably in a design-focused team or alongside a designer.

• You understand the basics of good engineering practices and care about clean design, maintainability, and writing code that is readable, structured, and properly documented.

• You keep the end user in mind when designing and building features, and you care about delivering a great user experience.

• You have a good understanding of the fundamentals of web development, and know how to create accessible, performant and adaptive websites with semantic HTML and well structured CSS.

• You have experience working with TypeScript.

• You know that good teamwork begins and ends with consistent and clear communication.

• You are able to communicate/work with different stakeholders in order to solve problems

• You know that self reflection is the key to growth, and apply that in your day-to-day life.
