About Portals

Join product and design leaders in developing the vision for the future of WeTransfer’s namesake—internally known as the Portals and Reviews product.

The Portals team is responsible for building and launching WeTransfer’s latest product offering Portals and Reviews (wetransfer.com/portals-reviews) which helps our customers organize projects and clients so they can get sign-off and approval in the simplest and easiest way possible. You will be joining the team at a really exciting stage of this product's lifecycle. You will have true ownership and input into Portals and Reviews features and technical direction. This product is a key part of our new WeTransfer premium offering and is leading the way to the next evolution of our service.

You’ll have the opportunity to help shape our engineering and product strategy at a critical phase, laying down the foundation for our next chapter of growth. We’re looking for someone with a rare combination of skills, an appreciation for design, and a passion for building high quality products.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, which includes product managers, designers and both frontend and backend developers. Our teams are open, eager to try new things, fun and dynamic. The goal of our team is to collaborate with teams across the company to create the future of WeTransfer that stays true to our mantra "beautifully obvious".

Above all else, we value kindness, understanding and empathy. We believe in open and honest communication and good teamwork to achieve a shared vision. We are passionate learners, who aren't afraid of trying out new tools and technologies to build a great end-to-end customer experience. We love to share our knowledge and experience when we can.

We strive to maintain a culture of kindness and inclusivity. Our team represents a variety of cultural backgrounds—open and clear communication is a priority. We believe diversity of perspective and experience are key to building great products. You’ll play a key role in fostering collaboration and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

About the role:

You'll be responsible for the happiness of millions of users by implementing new features with your project team as well as ensuring our codebase stays nice and shiny. You will do this in a multidisciplinary team with passionate engineers and designers to deploy features to our users.

WeTransfer is an equal opportunity employer and we pride ourselves on the diversity of our people. We welcome you, and everything that makes you—well, you. That includes your gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, or disability status.

A note on remote Covid has changed the world. Just as much as it changed us. While we can't wait until offices re-open, being at the office will not be mandatory in the future. This way, you get the best from both worlds. That move is still pretty new for us though, we are getting there, we are writing more, doing more async communication, and are now ready to take it to the next level.

While it is not necessarily a determining or disqualifying factor for any role, you may be required to complete a standard employment background screening.
