Become a part of our team

At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.

What you’ll do

As a React Front-End Engineer, you design, engineer, test, improve, and deploy working web applications that meet both user needs and business requirements. You've mastered the fundamentals of modern web development and you're now entering the second stage of your growth as an engineer: deepening your technical expertise while broadening the personal attributes and business insight to start guiding your team through the full lifecycle of a feature. You're fully capable and proactive in taking your share of the work, and your teammates can rely on you to deliver consistent quality with minimal guidance.

- Design, build, and deploy scalable and reliable full-stack web applications, from front end to back end.

- Apply common design patterns (and know the anti-patterns to avoid), you leave the codebase better than you found it.

- Take ownership of quality through test-driven development: you know your platform's testing frameworks and what's worth testing.

- Value abstractions in your code and stay curious about the “why” behind architectural decisions.

- Set up and improve deployment pipelines, deploy complex products end-to-end, and apply monitoring to what you build.

- Build secure by default: you understand how attackers exploit weak spots and apply secure coding practices accordingly.

- Work with design systems to deliver consistent, high-quality UI.

- Translate business requirements into robust, performant, and secure technical solutions.

- Integrate AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor) into your daily workflow to sharpen code quality, speed up reviews, and boost productivity while critically validating AI-generated output.

- Maintain frequent, clear communication with client stakeholders so everyone stays aligned on priorities.

- Give and receive feedback openly, and support colleagues when they hit a challenge or ask a question.
