Design-Driven Frontend Developer (m/f/d) - Next.js, with Agency experience

About &why

We are &why – an interdisciplinary studio for digital products and brand experiences.
We believe the best solutions are created when people ask bold questions, take real ownership, and work with both speed and high standards.

Our goal is to build timeless, impactful digital products that don’t just look good, but truly matter. Projects like the digital platform for KKL Lucerne, large-scale products for FreeNow, immersive storytelling formats, or AI agents for B-Lab show what drives us.

Right now, we’re building our own technical platform as the foundation for all our projects – and that’s where you come in.

• Create interactive, visually strong interfaces (ideally with Framer Motion or similar)
• Take ownership of clean, well-documented, high-quality code
• Actively contribute to our engineering principles and help evolve them
• Collaborate closely with design, content, and strategy – open, agile, and on eye level

• A full-time or part-time position in an interdisciplinary, passionate team
• A flexible work model with focus sessions, pairings, and direct client interaction
• Creative and ambitious projects – from AR and VR to interactive storytelling games
• Inspiring offices in Berlin & Munich
  (1–2 days per week on-site required, regular remote work possible)
• 30 days of vacation , €1,500 annual training budget , gym subsidy (Wellpass / Urban Sports), employee benefits, and JobRad leasing
• A healthy, people-first work environment with clear growth paths and regular feedback talks
• Salary range: €55,000 - €65,000 gross per year (full-time), depending on experience
