We're looking for a Senior Front-End Engineer to build commerce experiences used by thousands of stores across 43 countries, multi-tenant SaaS where a single front-end decision plays out at massive scale.

What you build runs 24/7 for businesses that depend on it, so performance, resilience, and craft are non-negotiable.

- Use AI as a daily multiplier in your workflow, with judgment about its limits and responsible use.
- A strong front-end engineer with a track record of building and evolving large-scale, resilient applications that run 24/7;

- Solid command of automated testing: the different types and when to use each;
- Experience as a technical reference: guiding teams, setting front-end direction, and lifting the engineers around you (including a hand in hiring);
- You connect technical choices to customer and business impact;
- You're hands-on and curious about AI: you use LLMs, automation, and design/dev tools to boost speed, quality, and clarity, while staying thoughtful about their limits, safety, and responsible use;
