We are seeking a deeply technical and innovative Front End Developer to join a specialized team responsible for the architectural migration of high-visibility marketing pages for a major global technology client.

In this role, you will move from a legacy static HTML environment to a modern, scalable React-based architecture with Server-Side Rendering (SSR). You will partner closely with Design and Engineering leads to build data-driven, atomic UI components that consume structured content from a proprietary Headless CMS. You must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.

Key Responsibilities

• Component Architecture & Development: Design and build a library of shared, atomic, and composable UI components using React and TypeScript. Ensure components are accessible and responsive across all viewports.


• Headless CMS Integration: Develop components that programmatically consume JSON data from the API, decoupling content from presentation. Work with JSON schemas to validate data structures.


• Migration & Re-platforming: Lead the migration of existing pages from legacy builds to the new data-driven architecture.


• Documentation & Tooling: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for components using Storybook, detailing usage, variants, and integration points for future developers. Manage package publishing via advanced NPM/Artifactory workflows.


• Quality & Optimization: Deliver pixel-perfect implementations. Ensure strict adherence to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and SEO technical requirements.


• Collaboration: Work closely with QA to resolve defects within a 24-hour SLA. Collaborate with designers in a Shift Left mentality to ensure technical feasibility early in the process.

Must-Have Expertise

• Core Stack: Senior-level mastery of React (Lifecycles, Hooks, Custom Hooks) and TypeScript (Strong typing, Interfaces).


• SSR Experience: Proven production experience with Server-Side Rendering frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Remix).


• Styling: Deep expertise in Utility-first CSS (Tailwind) or CSS Modules to create modular, non-conflicting styles.


• Headless CMS & Data: Experience working with Headless CMS platforms (e.g., Strapi, Contentful, Sanity) and a solid understanding of consuming and validating JSON Schemas.


• Testing: Ability to write and maintain robust unit tests (Jest, React Testing Library).


• Workflow: Proficiency with Storybook for component development and documentation. Experience with Git workflows.


• Visual Precision: Ability to translate designs from Figma/Sketch into code with high fidelity (Pixel Perfection).

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Performance Engineering: Advanced knowledge of React profiling, rendering optimization, and bundle splitting.


• SEO: Technical SEO implementation experience.
