LAAX / Weisse Arena Gruppe | Full-Stack & Front-End | Laax, Switzerland | ONSITE | 60-100% | https://www.laax.com/en

Take in the snow-capped surroundings of the Swiss Alps from our co-working space at 2252m, perched just above the world’s largest halfpipe, as you write (and ride) the next lines in our digital story.

Within Europe, LAAX is a uniquely integrated mountain destination, encompassing lifts, mountain operations, four snowparks, hotels, restaurants, bars, ski school, Freestyle Academy, bike trails, and more. Tying all this together is the LAAX App, our flagship digital product — connect your keycard, then collect badges as you unlock challenges skiing or snowboarding throughout the resort, or compete on the leaderboards, earning LAAX Points to spend directly in the app on food, drinks, or other rewards.

Your work will be in the hands of tens of thousands of guests each month, all concentrated in one place. This creates the opportunity to be hands-on (and boots-on) in a way few other roles can offer.

We’re looking for engineers who share the passion of our guests for the mountains, and want to build the best digital/physical experiences possible, in our beautiful alpine playground. To do that, you’ll be working with:

* React / React Native / MobX

* TypeScript / Node.js / Express / GraphQL / MongoDB / Postgres

* AWS (EC2, S3, SES, SNS, RDS, VPC, Lambda, CloudFormation, etc.)

Ideally, you’re a fast learner who enjoys getting stuck in, and you already have significant experience building (B2C) mobile apps, with an eye for details and an intuition for what makes a great digital user journey.

Interested? Send your resume and an intro to dgx@laax.com




How good one's German should be? The listing on your website mentions German is an advantage :)

I assume you are open to hiring EU/EEA candidates too, correct? (ones who will need Aufenthaltsbewilligung)


We are already an international team (Swiss, Italian, German, UK) and are open to EU/EEA candidates. All project language is English. While German is an advantage, we care more about your attitude and sharing our passion for mountains, nature and freestyle.


I love that you are looking for a Kochassistent (cooking assistant), a Bademeister (swimming pool attendant) and a frontend dev. (No, seriously.)


Oh, we have it all! From Pistenbully mechanics, over Pizzaiolos and baristas, Ski patrol with avalanche dogs to data analysts and Superpipe operators. And a whole lot in between ;)


Can one apply from Africa (Nigeria)?


Yes. However, hiring non-EU/EEA candidates in Switzerland takes a lot of work. And we will only go through this process if the candidate is a perfect match.
