About the Role

We're looking for a performance-obsessed Frontend Engineer to craft pixel-perfect, blazing-fast commerce experiences for global enterprise brands. You'll work at the intersection of design systems and commerce infrastructure — turning design intent into polished, accessible, and highly optimised storefronts that serve millions of shoppers.

Responsibilities

• Build high-performance headless storefronts using Next.js (App Router) with TypeScript.
• Implement design systems from Figma with meticulous attention to detail, motion, and accessibility.
• Optimise Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) across all surfaces, targeting top Lighthouse scores.
• Integrate Shopify Storefront API, custom commerce middleware, and third-party marketing tools.
• Collaborate closely with UX designers and backend engineers in cross-functional delivery squads.
• Contribute to and maintain shared component libraries used across multiple client projects.
• Write thorough unit and integration tests; participate in performance budgeting and monitoring.

Requirements

• 4+ years of frontend engineering experience in a professional or agency environment.
• Expert-level knowledge of React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
• Strong grasp of CSS (Tailwind preferred) and animation libraries (Framer Motion).
• Proven track record of optimising Core Web Vitals on high-traffic e-commerce sites.
• Understanding of headless commerce patterns: SSR, ISR, edge rendering, and client-side data fetching.
• Eye for design detail — you care deeply about typography, spacing, and interaction quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Shopify Hydrogen or Remix.
• Familiarity with Storybook and design-token-driven design systems.
• Knowledge of internationalisation (i18n) patterns for multi-region storefronts.
• Contributions to open-source frontend projects.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Flexible working arrangements — remote-friendly with global office access.
• AED 8,000 annual learning and development budget.
• Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one.
• Access to a senior mentorship network across all disciplines.
• Regular team off-sites, knowledge-sharing sessions, and career reviews.
