Job description
- Architecting and building modular checkout UI components in TypeScript and React, managing state and side effects with Redux Toolkit and redux-saga
- Developing payment provider integrations (e.g., Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay), including widget and redirect flows
- Owning storefront integration contracts for multi-tenant setups, including embeddable web components, host events, and tracking
- Optimizing Core Web Vitals, loading speeds, and rendering performance to drive conversion rates and elevate user experience
- Monitoring and resolving production issues across tenant shops using observability tools like Datadog
- Translating complex checkout requirements into scalable solutions while ensuring WCAG accessibility, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Product, UX, Backend, and QA teams in daily agile workflows to ship features like one-page or multi-step checkout flows
- Driving engineering standards through thorough code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical refactoring initiatives
- Expanding core platform capabilities (e.g., for the SCAYLE checkout ecosystem) to enable client customization through injectable content
Requirements

- Optimizing Web Performance and Core Web Vitals to ensure fast loading speeds and high conversion rates
- Crafting semantic HTML5 and scalable CSS architectures using SCSS, BEM, and modern design systems
- Developing forms-heavy, internationalized UIs using tools like Formik and react-intl in multi-tenant REST API environments
- Writing automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library) and working within modern CI/CD pipelines
- Balancing technical excellence with business priorities, making pragmatic trade-offs to deliver value without over-engineering
- Communicating with transparency and ownership, proactively raising blockers in fluent English, collaborating across disciplines, and adapting in an agile environment
Nice to have

- Business smartness: enterprise-level experience, comfortable talking to C-level
- Flutter skills
About the company
The Frontend Team builds the embeddable checkout, authentication and express-checkout web components behind SCAYLE’s Checkout as a Service which is our in-house eCommerce infrastructure licensed to online retailers. Tenant storefronts integrate them as a drop-in script, and the components own everything the customer sees from entering the checkout to order confirmation: authentication, addresses, payment selection and order placement, across many shops, countries and payment providers.
