Job Description

We're seeking a Front-End Developer to join our e-commerce team.

  • RESTful API integration and async programming
  • Git and version control workflows
  • Responsive design and cross-browser compatibility
  • Web performance optimization

CSS & Styling

  • Tailwind CSS (hands-on production experience)
  • Bootstrap or similar CSS framework
  • CSS preprocessors (SASS/SCSS)
  • CSS-in-JS solutions (styled-components, Emotion, etc.)
  • Mobile-first responsive design

Strongly Preferred

  • Alpine.js (or willingness to learn quickly)
  • Magento 2 frontend development (theming, layout XML, PHTML, KnockoutJS)
  • TypeScript
  • State management (Redux, Vuex, Pinia)
  • Testing frameworks (Jest, Vitest, Cypress)
  • E-commerce platform experience (Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce)

Nice To Have

  • PHP basics (helpful for Magento template work)
  • GraphQL and Postman
  • Next.js or Nuxt.js
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Accessibility standards (WCAG)
  • Figma/Adobe XD
