Senior Frontend Engineer (Helsinki/Hybrid)

Salary Competitive

Build the platform that will scale Huuva internationally — with meaningful equity upside and real technical ownership.

We’re a tech-first company rethinking dining + delivery (including drone delivery, among the first in Europe). Backed by General Catalyst, Lifeline Ventures and more.

TL;DR

  • Senior/Staff-level Frontend ownership (architecture + design systems + performance at scale)

  • Top-of-market compensation in Helsinki including attractive equity (great risk/reward, high upside potentials)

  • Hybrid: flexibility to work remotely + office in the heart of Helsinki

  • Modern stack: TypeScript/React, Nx, design systems, Figma, Vercel, GitHub Actions, K8s on GKE

  • AI-enabled workflow: Copilot + Claude CLI and room to push AI-driven product innovations

Why Huuva, why now

Huuva’s mission is to bring the most loved city-center restaurants closer to suburban communities — making high-quality dining more accessible.


We’ve grown fast since 2021 and are now at the inflection point: scaling the product, platform, and domestic/international expansion. This is the timing where impact + equity return can be massive.

What you’ll build

  • A highly scalable customer + operator platform powering multi-brand kitchens (“modern tech-based food hall” concept)

  • Design system + frontend architecture that supports multiple brands, fast iterations, and international rollouts

  • Performance, reliability, and DX improvements across web apps

  • AI-assisted features and workflows (product + engineering), plus experimentation/analytics foundations

Your toolbox (today)

  • TypeScript, React, Nx, design systems, Figma, Vercel, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes on GKE
    AI tooling: Copilot + Claude CLI

  • You’ll collaborate deeply with product, design, and backend (Go/Python).

What we’re looking for (senior bar)

You’re likely a fit if you have:

  • 6+ years building modern web apps, including significant React + TypeScript in production

  • Proven experience with frontend architecture (monorepos, module boundaries, build/deploy, maintainability)

  • Strong track record with design systems (component APIs, accessibility, consistency, velocity)

  • Ownership mindset: you’ve led initiatives end-to-end (scoping → execution → rollout → iteration)

  • Confidence in system design discussions, tradeoffs, and mentoring/raising the bar

  • Eager to have active role in architectural decisions across the full system

  • Eager to go beyond and contribute to backend services in Golang/Python

  • Located in EU/EEA with the necessary rights of work and willing to relocate.

Not a fit if you’re not in EU/EEA or looking for a junior/mid role or primarily ticket-based execution without architecture ownership.

Benefits that matter

  • Real equity upside tied to domestic/international scaling (high ownership, high reward)

  • A close knit team with colleagues who actually care + supportive culture

  • Hybrid: flexibility to work remotely + great office location central Helsinki

  • Excellent learning opportunities with strong tooling, CI/CD, and engineering standards.

  • Greenfield + stability (balanced), you’ll get a healthy mix of greenfield projects and improving/maintaining mission-critical systems — with time allocated for quality and refactoring.
