Job Description

Are you a hands-on, product-minded engineer eager to bring your skills to a fast-paced tech startup? Do you want to take ownership in a young, ambitious team that's building a scalable business model powered by cutting-edge technologies, including AI? Then Jurata might be the perfect place for you.
Jurata is a rapidly growing tech startup based in the heart of Zurich. Through our online one-stop shop for legal, accounting, and tax services, we provide thousands of SMEs with intuitive, fast, and affordable access to the professional support they need to run and grow their business. Our tech team plays a key role in this mission: with a strong focus on automation, smart user experiences, and advanced AI systems, we're building the foundation for a new kind of service platform.
To strengthen our team, we're looking for versatile software engineers who thrive in a modern Typescript environment and enjoy taking end-to-end responsibility--from idea to release.
Tasks

• Focus on developing & maintaining Next.js frontends
• Migrate legacy apps from no-code tools, such as (WeWeb/Retool)
• Contribute to backend services (Express.js/Nest.js/xstate)
• Deliver features with a fullstack approach
• Ownerhsip of issues across their lifecycle: from idea through specifications to development, testing, and release
• Proactive stakeholder management across operations, business, sales, and marketing
• Engage in collaborative team environment for code reviews and design discussions
• Work closely with and receive support from CTO and engineering team

Requirements
We know--sometimes, you can't tick every box, but we would still love to hear from you if you think you're a good fit.

• 1-3 years of experience working within the TypeScript ecosystem.
• Solid hands-on experience with React.js and Next.js.
• A strong focus on code quality--you write maintainable, well-tested software because you know it pays off in the long run, especially when juggling deadlines.
• A good eye for design: even without a Figma file, you're comfortable building UIs that look and feel right. You care about the small details and trust your taste.
• Proficiency in working with RESTful APIs and integrating third-party services.
• AI is more than just a buzzword for you. Using Windsurf, Cursor, or other agentic code editors is a no-brainer and you continuously look to accelerate your development work by using LLMs and agents.
• You are a builder at heart and a natural problem-solver who enjoys figuring things out. You thrive when building, scaling, and iterating quickly--and you're capable to work autonomously.
• Clear communication is something you strive for. Meeting notes, explaining complex topics, and reliable coordination is not uncommon to you.
• Experience in the following is considered a plus: test-driven development, domain-driven design, MongoDB or AWS.
• Location matters: The office is where our team truly shines, both in performance and team chemistry. We consider candidates, who are willing to work in our Zurich office by default. Therefore your application will be considered only if you are based in Zurich or willing to relocate with EU/EFTA citizenship.

Benefits
You will have the opportunity to actively shape our dynamic tech startup. Count on young, motivated colleagues and a legendary team spirit, which we strengthen with regular team events such as team lunches, pizza days, retreats, and after-work drinks. Shared lunch runs and gym sessions (we provide a free gym membership) ensure that you stay physically fit.
In our environment the voice and ideas of our team members are heard and valued. You can make a significant contribution to forward-looking projects at the intersection of law and technology.
We offer attractive employment conditions (25 vacation days), including the possibility of employee participation/ESOP. Our centrally located office in Zurich provides free coffee, water, fruits, and snacks to keep you energized throughout the day.
Interested? We'd love to receive your application. At Jurata, we take the time and effort you invest in applying seriously, and we strive to provide feedback as quickly as possible.
To give you a personal first impression, our hiring process begins with a short online introduction call with a co-founder. This is followed by a series of interviews and assessments. Our process aside, we are always available to answer any questions you might have in written.
