React / Typescript Developer

At Sqills we’re looking for someone with a strong focus on architecture, abstraction, and developer experience.

Full-time · Enschede

Unlike typical front-end roles focused mainly on converting Figma designs into components, this position centers on building and maintaining a reusable React/TypeScript component library at the core of our design system.

You’ll work closely with our UX and UI designers to translate the design language into robust, reusable abstractions that are both scalable and maintainable. Your goal is to make the library consistent, intuitive, and enjoyable for developers to use across applications.

Collaboration with DevOps and engineering teams will be a key part of your role, ensuring that components integrate smoothly into applications. Ultimately, your work will directly shape the developer experience (DX) — making the system seamless, efficient, and future-proof.

What will you do?

• Develop and maintain a React/TypeScript library used across our applications.

• Design and implement clean abstractions and APIs for components.

• Ensure the library is easy to use, consistent, and well-documented.

• Collaborate with designers to integrate the library in a way that balances flexibility and structure.

• Drive best practices in component architecture, code quality, and testing.

• Improve developer experience (DX) for consumers of the library.

We are looking for someone with:

• Bachelor’s degree (HBO or WO) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.

• Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript.

• Solid understanding of component architecture, code structure, and abstraction.

• Experience building and maintaining design systems or reusable component libraries.

• Ability to think in terms of developer experience

• Comfortable collaborating with designers and bridging design with engineering.

• Who can join the team at our Enschede office, two times a week.

Nice to have:

• Experience with MUI.

• Familiarity with Vite, or similar bundling workflows.

• Knowledge of CSS-in-JS, utility-first frameworks, or styling methodologies.

• Open-source contributions or experience with widely used component libraries.

What can you expect from Sqills:

• An enthusiastic, young, and diverse group of ~250 colleagues worldwide.

• A flat hierarchy with a lot of individual responsibility and room for your ideas.

• An open and challenging environment for ambitious professionals.

• Great benefits including a FlexBudget, supplementary pension, and lunch in our Grand Café.

• Inspiring company outings and Friday drinks on our roof terrace.
