We are looking for enthusiastic TypeScript developers to join one of the Fonto teams responsible for Fonto’s high tech front-end applications. You will be given the knowledge and responsibility to co-design our internal and external APIs, build the front- or back-end implementation, test and improve continuously.

What is Fonto?

Fonto is a cutting-edge browser-based structured content editor; a bit like a famous word processor, but more attuned to complex use cases and industries. Fonto is the expert-facing tool for core processes in various governments, unicorn companies (eg. Spotify), regulatory bodies (think atomic energy), automotive and aerospace, finance, education, and more. We’re about 40 professionals in different teams with front-end, back-end, UX designers and a lead each. Fonto’s bread and butter is an incredibly flexible, interconnected and professional browser-based application that connects to third-party back-end components as well as some of our additional products. We straddle the line between technical complexity and ease of use.
If you want a quick impression of Fonto, check out our online demo or browse our Documentation.

At Fonto we decide for ourselves what we do, and how we do it. Being a product organisation, quality and longevity is incredibly important. If you want to pour your best into code and be around to see how it plays out in the long term, then Fonto is the place for you!

Why you should want to work at Fonto

You’ll join a small team where everybody decides the future together. You’ll collaborate daily with seniors and leads who have been with Fonto for years and years. Together you’ll not only move some work, but also grow rapidly to a point where you can work fully independently, or mentor other devs. Sounds too easy? Try catching up with the teams that have additional expertise in the tech or business side of Fonto. It is what you make of it!

Your role

We’ll start with straight up design and development. You’ll learn about Fonto and the domain of structured content. You may be given a look into our customers’ kitchen to inform your work. Over time we want you to take increasing ownership of the features, processes or specialisms that resonate with you the most. Whether you’re an expert or a generalist, there will always be a teammate that relies on your help.

A competitive salary based on your new role and prior experience

Interested?

Our hiring process is pretty straight-forward. Fill out the form, and we’ll reach out to invite you for a meeting face-to-face or over video. Over the course of two or three meetings you’ll be introduced to the people who you’d be working with and we get to know each other better. If that’s a good fit you’ll be shaking hands with the rest of us in no time!
