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

  • 5+ years of frontend engineering experience with senior-level ownership (including enterprise-level experience or leading complex frontend setups)
  • Mastering modern JavaScript (ES6+) and advanced TypeScript in strict mode
  • Building complex UIs with React 19, Redux Toolkit, and redux-saga, handling asynchronous flows, multi-step funnels, and payment redirects
  • 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

  • Experience building embeddable widgets / web components or other frontends that run inside third-party sites
  • 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.
