# Adblock Plus Frontend Developer

### Who we are

We create software that puts users in control over their online browsing experience. Our products, such as Adblock Plus, Adblock Browser and Flattr, help sustain and grow a fair, open web, because they give users control while providing user-friendly monetization. Our most popular product, Adblock Plus (ABP), is currently used on over 100 million devices.

Our multi-cultural team wants to change the Internet for the better, and you can become an important part of it. We offer a competitive salary and flexible working hours. We trust our employees and believe in their ideas. 

eyeo is headquartered in Cologne, Germany with satellite offices in Berlin and Malmö. However, much of our team works remotely — and so can you. 

#### Job description

100 million people are looking for you. Yes! 100 million people, every day, looking for you. If every one of them wrote ‘Thank you!’ on your profile page you would have a billion new characters instantly. It would look like a mess sure, but it would feel so good! 

That’s basically what we offer, a chance to be a part of the ABP family; work, develop, test, create, improve, laugh, laugh in different languages, curse in different languages – all the good things of being part of a team of capable developers. 

### Responsibilities 

- Writing code for ABP UI various platforms, handling aspects like: first run page, options page, icon pop-up, issue reporter, etc. 
- Working in different stages of a product life-cycle: research, specifications, developing, documentation, etc. 
- Comfortable implementing dynamic UIs using web technologies
- Bouncing ideas within the team, making architectural changes.

[x] content review

[juliandoucette]

• Please do not assign tickets
• Please add wspee to CC on websites module tickets
• I think this is P3 because neither teams have capacity to onbeard someone ATM?
• I'm skeptical about "[x] content review" because of the emphasis mistake at the bottom (we agreed not to add this to our job descriptions) and I don't think that Thomas has reviewed and approved this content

[fdamian]

1. Job Description changed
2. Thomas and Felix reviewed the JD, approved.
3. P2 priority: ABP UI has capacity to onboard.
4. I didn't add the "[x] content review", probably from my template. Apologies.

Did our copywriters see it? Not sure what the policy here is but I would say it's worth to copywrite jobads?

You seem to have put your comment in the review url field. I assumed this was an accident and have removed them from the review url field.

[fdamian]

Yes and yes and yes :)

Removed, see https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/5437#comment:7 (Note: I assume this comment was made in reply to https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/5515#comment:8 but accidentally in the wrong ticket).
