At CENDAS, we're transforming the construction industry through digital innovation. Since 2021, our SaaS platform has unified every stakeholder and project phase into a single, streamlined workflow. We believe technology should empower not burden those building the world. Headquartered in Germany with a globally distributed team of 60+ professionals, we empower construction companies to "GET WORK DONE" faster, smarter, and with fewer headaches.
Our mission is to simplify the daily chaos of construction work with powerful, intuitive software. We’re not here to digitize paperwork we’re here to make it obsolete. This isn’t just another job it’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and make a lasting impact. We're proud of the culture we've built and it shows.

As a Senior Frontend Developer, you’ll be the driving force behind our user-facing applications:

• Build, improve, and own features using React + TypeScript that simplify complex workflows — and make construction workers say “Whoa, that’s smooth”
• Design scalable state management solutions.
• Implement robust offline-first flows so our users can work in construction sites, basements, or bunkers.
• Work with a modern stack (AWS, GitHub, Jira, Microsoft Teams, you choose your equipment setup) the usual suspects, minus the bureaucracy.
• Cultivate a peer‑review culture where everyone both gives and receives feedback— lead by example through collaborative code reviews, knowledge sharing, and zero‑ego discussions.

• Remote-First – Work from anywhere within CET ±3 or drop by our office in Bochum, Germany (pants optional on video calls).
• Generous PTO – 30 days of paid vacation plus public holidays.
• Flexible Hours – Organize your workday to suit your life and energy peaks.
• Competitive Compensation – We offer a salary that reflects your experience and the impact you bring to the team.
• AI-Positive Culture – We embrace AI to help us focus on the fun parts of our jobs (and not rewriting the same function 12 times).
• Inclusive & Collaborative Team – A diverse and welcoming environment with regular virtual get-togethers (yes, even remote teams like quizzes and memes).
• Meaningful Impact – Your work will directly shape the daily experience of thousands in the construction industry.
• Career Advancement – Clear growth paths and mentorship.
• Scale-Up Energy, Start-Up Agility – Work in a fast-moving environment with solid long-term backing — think less chaos, more ownership.

• We value thoughtful communication, pragmatic problem-solving, and humble collaboration.
• We ship incrementally, measure outcomes, and iterate fast.
• We believe great software is built by small, empowered teams that trust each other.
