Bergamotte is reinventing flower-and-plant delivery since 2016 in France with an optimized sourcing, direct buying, exclusive collections of handmade bouquets and a tailor made customer experience. With more than 100 co-workers and around 150 000 customers, Bergamotte is seen as the new reference in the green field! As part of our development on the German Market in 2019 and the UK market in 2020, we’re looking for talented folks to join our growing development team!


You will join a small, but increasingly focused, product and development team and help us fine-tune and improve our existing systems, applications and processes, all while looking to the future as we design and build new features, capabilities and help scale to match the success of the business.


Job description


Front-end developers at Bergamotte are responsible for building, improving and maintaining the interfaces which both our customers and staff use daily. This allows for working on a wide range of projectsrecent examples include ensuring our shop supports multiple countries/languages, improving internal customer service tools, automating/improving workshop workflows and improving internal reporting systems.


As the company continues to grow, a fluid and effective development approach is critical to its success, front-end developers continue to play a vital role in helping this happen by being the link between the great ideas that have helped us get to where we are today and our end users (both our wonderful customers and staff).

We’re looking for developers who have experience working in growing teams/companies, are pragmatic, but are not afraid to try something new, have a great eye for detail in all aspects of your work and have an interest in building fast, beautiful and maintainable interfaces.

You will be able to work from our stylish office in downtown Paris, France or from the comfort of your own home, wherever that may be – it’s up to you.


You will be expected to:


  • Take ownership of the front-end aspects of the Bergamotte application
  • Guide the front-end team in improving the existing front-end approaches and code
  • Propose and help the team adopt the best revelant front-end technologies and practices
  • Help find, debug and fix issues with existing production systems
  • Work with the product and design team to help improve our component based design system(s) and workflows
  • Work with other product and development team members to define scope and help the product team refine our roadmap
  • Continually help to improve the development team standards and processes
  • Be accountable for the quality of your work, and hold others to the same level


Preferred experience


  • Considerable experience working on e-commerce and/or internal apps in a front-end role
  • We use webpack, ES6, SCSS and HAML (for now), and render as much as we can server-side, so experience with this approach is a plus, but not a hard requirement
  • Experience creating and/or maintaining a component based front-end approach would also be very beneficial
  • Strong preference towards writing clear, tested code and maximising the benefits of version control (e.g. code reviews), linting and CI/CD in the development process
  • Great written and spoken English skills
  • Able to work full-time


We are currently working on improving our front-end workflow, establishing and embracing new practices. We’d love for you to help us with this!
