Overview

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive the design, development, and evolution of high-performance, accessible, and scalable web applications. In this role, you will shape frontend architecture, champion modern engineering practices, and leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery and raise the quality bar. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams like product, design, backend and QA to deliver exceptional digital experiences that directly impact business outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the architecture and delivery of high-performance React/Next.js applications leveraging SSR, ISR, and code-splitting; establish and enforce performance and accessibility budgets aligned with Core Web Vitals targets.
• Define frontend standards and evolve a scalable, reusable component library (e.g., Storybook-driven); drive the micro-frontend strategy for independent team deployability and release autonomy.
• Shape API contracts collaboratively with design and backend teams; make informed build-vs-buy decisions and align technical roadmaps to measurable business outcomes.
• Establish and own the frontend testing strategy across the test pyramid (unit, component, integration, e2e) with CI/CD quality gates; champion observability, reliability, and incident readiness.
• Implement and maintain monitoring dashboards and alerting for frontend health metrics, error rates, and user experience signals.
• Design resilient real-time and progressive web app (PWA) user experiences using WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE), and Service Workers for offline caching, background sync, and graceful degradation.
• Guide React Native integration strategies and maintain shared TypeScript models and business logic across web and mobile platforms.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate coding workflows, code generation, refactoring, and documentation while maintaining code quality and security standards.
• Evaluate, integrate, and champion emerging AI developer tools and practices across the engineering team; define guardrails and best practices for responsible AI-assisted development.
• Apply AI capabilities to enhance product features such as intelligent search, content personalization, and automated testing/code review workflows.
• Adopt and develop on headless CMS integrations for personalized, content-rich, and SEO-optimized digital experiences.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through pairing sessions, design reviews, and code reviews; foster a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.
• Contribute actively to incident management and blameless postmortems; plan and execute targeted tech-debt reduction initiatives aligned with sprint capacity.
• Participate in architectural decision records (ADRs) and cross-functional planning to drive engineering standards across the organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent professional experience.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade UIs with React and Next.js; expert-level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and solid Node.js skills.
• Deep understanding of web performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse), accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA+), and frontend security fundamentals (CSP, XSS, CSRF prevention).
• Proven experience with SSR/ISR rendering strategies, modern data-fetching patterns (React Query, SWR), and micro-frontend architectures; strong systems-level architectural thinking.
• Proficient with modern build tooling (Webpack, Vite, Turbopack), Git workflows, linting/formatting standards (ESLint, Prettier), and CI/CD pipelines for web applications.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement comprehensive test strategies using Jest, React Testing Library, and end-to-end frameworks (Playwright or Cypress).
• Production experience with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, WebSockets, and SSE; hands-on with building PWAs using Service Workers and the Cache API.
• Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and CDN/edge delivery strategies with an eye for performance optimization and cost efficiency.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar); demonstrated ability to integrate AI tooling into daily engineering workflows for improved velocity and code quality.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with proven ability to work effectively across distributed teams and time zones.

Nice to Have

• Experience with React Native or cross-platform mobile development.
• Exposure to headless CMS platforms (Payload, Strapi, AEM or similar) and composable commerce architectures.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring stacks (New Relic, Datadog, Splunk, or Grafana).
• Experience building or integrating AI/ML-powered features such as intelligent search, recommendation engines, or RAG-based systems.
• Contributions to open-source projects or published technical writing.
• Experience with Adobe Commerce Cloud, Shopify, or enterprise ecommerce platforms.

We seek candidates who not only demonstrate curiosity and adaptability in emerging technologies but have also successfully implemented and utilized AI tools to enhance their work, improve processes, or deliver measurable results. Our teams embrace continuous learning and the thoughtful integration of AI to create meaningful impact – for our employees and the future of work.
