# What we're looking for
At Xpitality we are on a mission to optimise marketing communication and processes for our clients in the hospitality industry at large: hotels, wine makers and restaurants.
We are a distributed team (although most of us are commonly based in Milan, Italy) and we are looking for a motivated front-end engineer with React and React Native skills to join us. Next.js and Slim template framework are preferred skills. We are currently transitioning from our older, home-grown CMS to a new, headless CMS which will use Next.js for its frontend.
We are a small company (5 people), so this is an opportunity to contribute and ship code which will have a positive impact on our customers right away!
This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) for a remote job. Yearly salary is 37.000 to 40.000 USD depending on expertise. You need to reside (or be able to work) within +/- 3h of Central European Time Zone. Core hours are 9:30 - 17:30 CET, but we are flexible.
