Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our engineering team and evolve our React web application, already live in production. There are plans to integrate it with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in a headless model — content delivered via GraphQL, with authors editing directly on live pages through the AEM Universal Editor. The role requires strong TypeScript/React experience and comfort working across both the existing codebase and the new AEM integration. 

Responsibilities:

Frontend Development 

• Maintain and extend the existing React application, written in TypeScript and JavaScript (ES6+) 

• Write clean, well-structured, and well-tested code 

• Follow established frontend architecture patterns, coding standards, and development practices 

• Optimise application performance — code-splitting and lazy-loading of heavy components, efficient component-level data fetching, and Core Web Vitals (especially LCP on media-heavy pages) 

• Build responsive, accessible interfaces in line with WCAG standards 

• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline setup, testing strategy, and the wider development lifecycle 

AEM Headless Integration 

• Integrate the React application with AEM in a headless model, fetching content via GraphQL (persisted queries) 

• Instrument React components with Universal Editor data attributes so authors can edit content directly on live pages 

• Collaborate with AEM backend developers on content fragment models and GraphQL schemas 

• Maintain a clear separation between the frontend presentation layer and the AEM content layer 

Code Quality and Delivery 

• Take part in code reviews and code audits, providing practical feedback and clear follow-up actions 

• Drive refactoring and modernization work, keeping code quality consistent across the codebase 

• Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and technical decision-making 

Collaboration 

• Work closely with Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, AEM backend developers, and QA Engineers 

• Explain technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues 

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 3+ years in frontend development for consumer-facing web applications 

• Strong experience building and maintaining large-scale web applications 

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript (ES6+) 

• Good working knowledge of React, including hooks, component lifecycle, and performance optimization 

• Experience with state management libraries such as Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or MobX 

• Working knowledge of CSS-in-JS, CSS Modules, or Tailwind CSS 

• Proficiency with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and asynchronous programming 

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar tooling 

• Understanding of web performance principles, accessibility standards (WCAG), and responsive design 

• Experience with testing frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress or Playwright 

• Good written and verbal communication skills 

Nice to Have 

• Experience with AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) 

• Hands-on experience with AEM in a headless model — content fragments, GraphQL, Universal Editor 

• Experience with monorepo tooling such as Nx or Turborepo 

• Familiarity with micro-frontend architecture patterns 

• Experience with analytics tooling such as Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, or LogRocket 

• Contributions to open-source frontend projects 

What We Offer 

• A competitive salary and benefits package 

• The chance to work on a high-profile web platform for a globally recognized brand 

• A role with real ownership over the technical direction of a core digital product 

• A collaborative team that values quality and practical delivery
