Frontend developer

About the Role

We are seeking a Front-End Developer - E-Commerce & Digital Experience to help build, optimize, and continuously elevate our customer-facing e-commerce storefront and digital brand touchpoints. In this role, you will work closely with our Technical Lead, product and e-commerce stakeholders, UI/UX designers, marketers, and engineering partners to translate business requirements and design concepts into fast, responsive, accessible, and maintainable web interfaces. A primary focus of this position will be front-end engineering for our enterprise e-commerce platform on Adobe Commerce (Magento 2.4+), along with supporting digital campaign experiences, landing pages, and marketing integrations across our broader web ecosystem. We are seeking a developer who pairs strong front-end software engineering fundamentals with a practical understanding of user experience, interaction design, accessibility (WCAG), and e-commerce conversion optimization. While direct Adobe Commerce / Magento frontend experience is a strong advantage, we warmly welcome applications from modern front-end developers with strong JavaScript, Tailwind CSS/utility styling, and component-based UI experience who are eager to build high-performance e-commerce experiences. This is primarily a software engineering role. While formal UX research or dedicated visual design creation is not required, the ideal candidate is design-literate, comfortable interpreting Figma design systems, proactive in identifying usability friction, and thoughtful in technical execution.

Responsibilities

Front-End Engineering & Storefront Development

• Develop, test, and maintain responsive, customer-facing interfaces for our enterprise e-commerce platform and digital web applications.
• Translate approved Figma designs, wireframes, prototypes, and user stories into clean, modular, and high-performance production code.
• Build and extend storefront themes, layout structures (layout.xml), and reusable template components (.phtml / modern component libraries).
• Implement and optimize critical shopping journeys: product discovery, faceted search/filtering, product detail pages (PDP), interactive pricing tables, shopping cart, customer accounts, and checkout workflows.
• Build front-end features that interface seamlessly with backend services, GraphQL, and RESTful APIs.
• Architect client-side state handling to respect Full-Page Cache (Fastly/Varnish) rules by isolating private customer data (e.g., dynamic carts, authentication states, custom contract pricing) into asynchronous client-side requests.
• Maintain clean, modular, well-documented, and testable front-end code while participating actively in code reviews and sprint delivery.

UI/UX & Design System Implementation

• Apply sound user interface and interaction design principles across all customer touchpoints.
• Maintain and expand our shared UI design system and reusable component library to ensure visual and behavioral consistency across typography, spacing, navigation, and form elements.
• Collaborate with designers, product managers, and marketing stakeholders during design reviews to provide early technical feedback on feasibility, responsiveness, and performance.
• Ensure consistent presentation and seamless behavioral fidelity across modern browsers, viewports, operating systems, and device form factors.
• Identify usability bottlenecks and propose pragmatic micro-interactions and layout refinements to streamline checkout and lead capture.

Performance, Accessibility & Web Standards

• Champion front-end web performance as a non-negotiable architectural priority, continuously optimizing for Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS).
• Optimize front-end asset pipelines: bundle sizes, critical CSS, asynchronous JavaScript execution, responsive image rendering, and modern font delivery.
• Ensure all digital interfaces adhere to modern web accessibility standards, targeting WCAG 2.1 AA compliance through semantic HTML5, valid ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and visible focus management.
• Conduct regular cross-browser, responsive device, and accessibility audits to identify and remediate UX regressions.

Digital Marketing & MarTech Integration

• Collaborate with digital marketing and demand generation teams to build, style, and launch high-converting landing pages and promotional campaign templates.
• Implement and maintain structured front-end event tracking, Google Tag Manager (GTM) data layers, and analytics telemetry to measure engagement and conversion funnels.
• Embed and style marketing automation assets (such as HubSpot forms, lead flows, and tracking scripts) while mitigating any adverse impact on page load speed.
• Implement technical SEO best practices, including semantic markup, clean DOM hierarchy, and schema.org structured data (JSON-LD).

Agile Collaboration & Teamwork

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Partner closely with the Technical Lead to align front-end components with backend service contracts, deployment hooks, and architectural standards.
• Provide realistic effort estimates, identify project dependencies early, and communicate technical tradeoffs transparently.

AI-Assisted Front-End Development

We view AI-assisted development tools as a valuable accelerator in modern engineering workflows. We encourage developers to leverage AI thoughtfully to enhance productivity, code quality, and delivery speed. Practical applications include: generating responsive layout boilerplate, Tailwind utility classes, and accessible markup patterns; generating cross-browser unit and end-to-end test cases; accelerating troubleshooting for complex CSS bugs, responsive quirks, and browser incompatibilities; drafting documentation and summarizing component properties. We value engineers who use these tools with sound judgment, maintaining strict human review over visual fidelity, accessibility standards, code maintainability, and data security.

What We're Looking For

You will be an outstanding fit for this role if you: care equally about how an interface looks, how it performs under load, and how intuitive it feels to real customers; think systematically in reusable, scalable components rather than disconnected, one-off templates; notice design discrepancies, accessibility barriers, and performance bottlenecks before they.
