About the role

Aurorabahn Mobility is hiring a frontend developer in Munich. Frontend here means everything a user actually touches: layout, interaction, accessibility and how fast the first useful pixel arrives. It is measured work — we watch real-user metrics, not a lab score from a fast laptop on office wifi.

German engineering hiring rewards depth and patience, and our process reflects that: two technical conversations, no timed puzzle, and a written offer within a week of the last one.

What the work actually looks like

You will build and maintain the interfaces our customers spend their working day inside, work through interaction detail with design rather than receiving it finished, and keep the bundle and the render cost inside an agreed budget release after release. Accessibility is part of the definition of done, not a later audit. The team works a hybrid week out of Munich, usually three days together and the rest wherever you work best.

What we look for

This is a mid-level role. You should already be able to take a loosely specified problem, break it down and ship it without close supervision. Strong HTML and CSS still beat framework trivia in this loop. We are looking for someone who reaches for a semantic element before a div, knows what a screen reader does with their markup, and can tell you what actually made a page slow.

Working at Aurorabahn Mobility

Working time is tracked and respected, overtime is an exception rather than a culture, and German is useful for customer conversations but is not a hiring requirement — engineering runs in English. The range shown is the annual gross salary band for this role.

Responsibilities

Build accessible, responsive interfaces that work on mid-range devices
Keep Core Web Vitals inside the agreed budget for every release
Turn design intent into interaction detail, questioning it where it does not hold
Write component tests that describe behaviour rather than implementation
Test on real hardware and real connections, not only a desktop emulator

Requirements

Production front-end experience with a modern component framework
Excellent semantic HTML and CSS, including accessible form and dialog patterns
Practical knowledge of Core Web Vitals and how to move them
Experience reading a bundle analysis and acting on it
Comfortable working in a codebase you did not write

Skills

JavaScript React CSS Accessibility Web Performance TypeScript

Benefits

30 days of paid holiday
Relocation support and visa sponsorship where needed
Deutschlandticket or a public transport allowance

Aurorabahn Mobility

Berlin201-500 peopleMobility Software

Aurorabahn builds the scheduling, ticketing and fleet software behind regional public transport operators in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. When a replacement bus service is announced at short notice, the plan that reaches the driver and the app is generated by our platform.

The domain is genuinely hard: timetables are a constraint-satisfaction problem, the data standards are old, and being wrong strands a real person at a real station. Engineers here spend as much time understanding the rules as writing code, and we consider that time well spent.

Our head office is in Kreuzberg, Berlin, with a second team in Munich. Engineering runs in English; German is useful for talking to customers but is not a hiring requirement.
