Frontend Engineer (F/M/D)

Are you an experienced frontend engineer with a passion for building great user experiences, owning products end to end, and shaping the future of a technology that fights counterfeiting worldwide?

Who we are

Authentic Vision builds physical product authentication. Our core product is a holographic security label with an irreproducible fingerprint: anyone can verify a product with nothing but a smartphone camera — no special equipment, no training. Every scan produces data that helps brands fight counterfeiting at global scale, and unlocks more than authenticity — label-as-a-key, loyalty, and consumer engagement, all triggered by proof of physical possession.

We’re ~15 people, with customers in automotive, nutraceuticals and industrial sectors across four continents. Engineering is small, senior, and ships regularly.

Responsibilities

You own the frontend layer across our product suite — from our customer portal and consumer-facing web scan app to branded customer experiences. You’ll shape the UX, evolve our frontend architecture, and help make the platform extensible, maintainable, and ready for what comes next.

Your main focus. The web app where customers manage labels and analyze scans (dashboards, data export). You own the UX and evolve the codebase.

TypeScript, Deno Fresh, Preact, gRPC, Go, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL

Themed deployments of the scan app and custom scan result pages. You own the pipeline that makes these fast and repeatable.

The scope is broad for a small team, and it keeps growing. You’ll help shape what comes next, not just maintain what exists — including folding existing products into the frontend platform: adapting designs, unifying auth flows, and making the frontend extensible enough for others to build on.

Our consumer-facing scanner:
everything our Android/iOS apps do, in the browser, with no install. UI animations, camera handling, WebAssembly.

TypeScript, esbuild, Preact

What we offer

  • Full product ownership, concept to deployment

  • Flexible hours, goal-driven engineering culture, flexible remote arrangement

  • Subsidized lunch: €8 meal allowance for every day you work from the office

  • A small, direct team — product, backend and ops are all reachable

  • Permanent employment under Austrian law with all associated benefits

  • €55,000–75,000 gross p.a. depending on experience (14 payments; well above the collective agreement minimum)

How we work with AI

AI tools are already an integral part of how we work across engineering, sales, and operations, from coding and automation to research. We’re looking for someone who already works this way and can help raise the bar for the entire team. If you don’t yet have hands-on experience but are highly motivated to learn this new way of rapidly shipping high-quality code, we’d be happy to hear from you too.

Experiences

  • 4+ years of professional web development

  • Strong TypeScript and React/Preact

  • Comfort working in an existing codebase and improving it incrementally

  • The ability to scope a feature, estimate it realistically, and speak up early when things change

  • Willingness to learn

  • No CS degree or authentication/security background required — we’ll teach you the domain.
  • 38,5h
  • Fluent English; German is a plus
  • Himmelreich near Salzburg, partially remote (Austria)
  • 0%

Nice to have

  • Go — so you can make backend changes yourself

  • Elasticsearch at the query layer

  • PostgreSQL — you won’t own the database, but it helps when debugging end to end

  • Day-to-day experience with agentic coding — CLI coding agents and IDE-integrated assistants, with specs, project context and review conventions checked into the repo

  • GitLab CI, Kubernetes, Linux/shell fluency

  • Willingness to share knowledge: as our frontend reference, you’ll occasionally guide others on web technologies

As an employer, we value diversity and support people in developing their potential and strengths, realizing their ideas and seizing opportunities. This job advertisement is aimed equally at all people, regardless of age, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or origin.
