They’re building the future of online retail: faster sites, smarter journeys, and genuinely slick customer experiences, and now they need a Lead Developer to take the reins.

* Driving TypeScript-first development across the board.
* Owning the frontend architecture – performance, scalability, best practice, the lot.
* Collaborating with design and backend teams to ship seamless, beautiful experiences.
* Championing modern workflows and reusable component design.
What You’ll Bring
* Expert in JavaScript / TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks.
* Hands-on experience with Next.js (that’s your playground).
* Confidence with Tailwind CSS, Git, and build tools like Vite or Webpack.
* A great eye for design and user experience.
