Open Home Foundation 正在招聘前端工程师（意大利）| LinkedIn

The Open Home Foundation is looking for a Frontend Engineer based in Europe to join our Home Assistant team. Home Assistant is not a website or a content platform. It is a complex, real-time web application used by millions of people to control and automate their smart homes. The frontend is a full-featured progressive web application (PWA) that manages real-time state for hundreds of data and control points simultaneously, renders dynamic dashboards and data visualizations, communicates bidirectionally with a backend over WebSockets, and runs across desktop and mobile as an installable application. We are looking for an engineer who thrives on building sophisticated, stateful applications, not someone whose experience is primarily in building websites, landing pages, or CMS-based projects. The Home Assistant frontend is a modern, performance-focused progressive web application (PWA). Our core stack relies on: TypeScript: All development is done in TypeScript, ensuring code quality and maintainability across a large, complex codebase. Lit and Web Components: We build with the Lit library and native Web Components. We have a large component library, and understanding the underlying platform (custom elements, shadow DOM, DOM APIs) is essential. Real-time state management: The application manages hundreds of data and control points with live state updates over WebSockets. Efficient rendering and state synchronization are core challenges. Modern Web Standards: We prioritize native browser capabilities over heavy frameworks. Understanding the web platform itself matters more than familiarity with any particular framework.

3+ years of professional TypeScript development experience. Experience developing and optimizing progressive web applications (PWAs). Hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks and libraries (e.g., Lit, React, Angular, Vue). Strong grasp of Web Components principles. Ability to work independently, with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Extensive proficiency with Git and GitHub workflows (pull requests, reviews, merging, etc.). Professional fluency in English, excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. European residency, you must be currently based in Europe and eligible to work within it.

The Open Home Foundation is a fully remote organization that uses an Employer of Record to employ people from all over the world. You will be a normal salaried employee in your country. This is a full-time position for 40 hours per week. Because we are a fully remote company, there is no fixed schedule. For the purpose of team communication, we do try to ensure at least 3 hours of overlap in the workday. You will report to the Home Assistant Lead, who is based in the Netherlands. Core to the establishment of the Open Home Foundation was the well-being of the people building the future of the smart home. We will provide all the benefits required by the country you reside in. However, we also want to make sure all our employees, regardless of country of origin, get at least a minimal set of benefits, including: Five weeks (twenty-five days) of paid time off. Fourteen days of paid sick leave if your country/laws treat them as unpaid. Six weeks of paid and six weeks of unpaid parental leave to be used in the first year after birth. We will provide the missing days if your country/laws do not provide such compensation. A budget for your work hardware once you start. A 50% contribution to your internet connection fee at your home workspace. If you are currently working on Home Assistant-related side projects, you can spend work time maintaining them.

The Open Home Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland, with the objective of fighting for the fundamental principles of privacy, choice, and sustainability for smart homes. It does this by supporting the development of open-source projects, and open connectivity and communication standards. A big part of this is Home Assistant, the biggest open-source project in number of contributors, but the Open Home Foundation also owns or collaborates with other projects important to promoting privacy, choice, and sustainability in the smart home, like: Open hardware tools (e.g., ESPHome, ESP Web Tools), Open standards (e.g., Python Matter Server, Z-Wave JS, ZigPy, BTHome, Improv Wi-Fi), Open voice (e.g., Rhasspy, Wyoming Protocol, Piper).
