We are looking for a Software Engineer (all genders) with expertise in frontend software development to join us remotely or in our office in Berlin. We are growing and need support in our team’s mission to scale our search engine and make more people climate active!
As an engineer in our Core Search team, you will improve our search experience, e.g., results page & navigation, as well as build new ways to search for images & videos. Day-to-day, you will dive deep on our frontend tech stack, solving problems from the UI down to the server-side. Together with our Engineering community, you will identify opportunities to innovate on our frontend tech stack.
Do you want to become part of a fun team and shape a product used by millions of users every day and help regenerate our ecosystem? Come join us!
YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT:
- Build, test, and deploy the core frontend search experience of Ecosia (client and server-side).
- Contribute to the development of new features in our cross-functional product team.
- Solve complex technical problems, e.g., how to make Ecosia the fastest search engine.
- Support your team members in backend-focused work-streams, if you are interested.

- Empower your peers to gain deeper technical knowledge on frontend technologies.

- You can communicate well written and verbally in English (German not required).
We recognize that you may need further development in some areas, and we encourage you to apply even if your profile does not meet all of the requirements for the role: we encourage and support growth and development for everyone.
