About Vision Healthcare

The platform has a diverse and growing portfolio of high-quality brands, such as Purasana, Flinndal, Therme, NaturaMed and Vitamin Express.

It aims to multiply its revenue over the next few years and become a leader in health and well-being products. The Madrid office is new with currently 11 people and will become the company’s key tech hub.

“We are very open to initiative, if you have an idea, you can do it. Moreover, sometimes you may break something while making rapid progress, as long as you pick up the pieces you are fine!” – Diederik Oostburg, IT Director

Vacancy: Front-end Lead

Vision Healthcare is looking for a new Front-end Lead to contribute to the development of the front-end tools and features of the ecommerce platform, and to mentor future front-end developers in the Madrid office. The Front-end Lead works as part of the Europe-wide front-end team and will be the first person in the Madrid tech hub. Therefore, an entrepreneurial mindset is key: the role offers a lot of space for creative freedom and autonomous decision-making.

The Front-end team will develop the right tools and features for the needs of all current and new brands that are being onboarded onto the platform, and drive the platform’s conversion rate-and search engine optimization. Despite being a multi-tenant platform, it must be highly tailored to each brand due to the legacy business and sales process of each. This flexibility, combined with the platform’s scalability needs for the future growth of Vision Healthcare, translates into a high degree of complexity and questions on how to optimally extend the platform’s tools and features. Experience in ecommerce, preferably with high volume, and with React and Next.js is required. Also, the Front-end Lead is expected to be pragmatic, focus on experimentation, learn from mistakes, and invest in being part of the team.

“The Front-end Lead is smart, adventurous and pragmatic, excited to make sense of a high degree of technical fragmentation” – Diederik Oostburg, IT Director

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced front-end developer with team management skills and an appetite for complex engineering challenges to build a scalable multi-tenant ecommerce platform for a fast-growing international healthcare company.
