Job Summary
In this role, you'll design secure Web Components, develop a Design System, and take over an existing Vue.js application while ensuring accessibility and quality through testing.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Secure Frontend Architecture: You design and implement framework-agnostic Web Components that are resilient against XSS and other attack vectors, and assist in defining Content Security Policies.
- Build a Design System: You develop a central Design System based on native web standards, with broad organizational support.
- Further develop the Vue.js application landscape: You will take over an existing codebase, conduct an inventory, and gradually transition it into the new Design System.
- Accessibility: You develop according to WCAG guidelines - semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes.
- Contribute the frontend perspective: You bring the frontend view into API discussions with backend, architects, and PMs — as a long-term process with growing influence.
- Ensure quality: You are responsible for appropriate test coverage - unit tests, component tests, end-to-end tests.
- True Ownership: You are establishing frontend ownership at Univention—with a clear development path and broad organizational support.
- Sense & Impact: You do not work for adtech or corporate interests, but build infrastructure that enables schools, authorities, and organizations to achieve digital independence — at a time when this is becoming increasingly politically and socially relevant.
- Design freedom: You are the first and shaping front-end voice in the company - technologically, conceptually, and communicatively.
