About Optiml

Optiml is revolutionizing real estate with our Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI) software—a new category of AI-powered technology that helps decarbonize buildings while optimizing asset & portfolio performance.

Since our launch in April 2024, we have been scaling across Europe and the US, receiving significant industry recognition and winning three major PropTech awards, including:
🏆 2024 ULI Europe PropTech of the Year
🏆 2024 ZIA PropTech of the Year

We are backed by $6M in pre-seed funding from top-tier US and EU funds, including Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), Planet A, BitStone, and Kompas.

Tasks

As a Junior Frontend Developer, you will:

  • Build and maintain user-facing features using React and TypeScript
  • Help turn UI/UX designs into responsive, performant interfaces
  • Work with teammates to integrate backend APIs
  • Participate in the full development lifecycle: planning, coding, testing, and iteration
  • Collaborate on code reviews, architecture discussions, and product improvements

This is an on-site role in our Zurich office — ideal if you enjoy working closely with a small, dynamic team.

Requirements

Who We’re Looking For

You are a motivated, early-career developer who:

  • Has 1–3 years of professional experience or is a recent graduate in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a similar field
  • Can write clean JavaScript/TypeScript and has practical experience with React (projects, internships, coursework, or early career)
  • Understands the basics of component architecture, state management, and responsive design
  • Is eager to learn — you build things, ask questions, and take ownership of your growth
  • Communicates clearly in English and collaborates well with others
  • Can work physically from our Zurich office

Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Interest in UI/UX design principles
  • Exposure to backend APIs (REST/GraphQL)
  • Some personal or academic experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest)

Benefits

  • Direct impact on the product and go-to-market direction of Optiml
  • Unique opportunity to learn: try, fail, iterate, and build new skills every day - in a culture that values growth & development individually and as a team
  • Learning and development budget (conferences, certificates, etc.).
  • Team-focused culture with support and flexibility
