We combine technical excellence with experimentation and craft, delivering scalable, future-facing solutions in close collaboration with Creative, Strategy, and Delivery.
- As a Senior Frontend Developer, you will play a key role in building modern, composable digital platforms. You will work hands-on with cutting-edge technologies and collaborate across disciplines to deliver high-impact, scalable experiences for global clients.
- Your role will be hands-on but also inspiring others to form an exemplary technical team. You will work closely with others to ensure good collaboration across all disciplines and to facilitate the solving of day-to-day challenges.
- Build and maintain scalable frontend applications using Next.js (v15) and modern React patterns.
- Work within a composable architecture, seamlessly integrating CMS (e.g., Contentful), commerce (e.g., commercetools), and various APIs.
- Contribute to and evolve a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layer, often within Next.js.
- Translate creative concepts into performant, accessible (WCAG), and production-ready experiences.
- Develop component-driven UIs aligned with design systems (e.g., Storybook, design tokens).
- Collaborate effectively with design, backend, and product teams across international AKQA studios.
- Optimize applications for exceptional performance, SEO, accessibility, and scalability.
- Contribute to architectural discussions and support the implementation of scalable frontend patterns.
- Prototype and implement AI-powered features, including search, personalization, and conversational UI.
- Mentor junior developers and actively contribute to engineering best practices and knowledge sharing.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- You possess deep proficiency across the core frontend stack: HTML5, CSS3 (including modern styling like TailwindCSS), JavaScript (ES6+), and TypeScript.
- You ensure optimal performance, accessibility (WCAG), and SEO, leveraging familiarity with Storybook and design system workflows.
- You understand BFF patterns, API orchestration, and can skillfully integrate distributed systems.
- You have exposure to AI-driven search, personalization, or conversational interfaces and can prototype such features with awareness of performance, privacy, and UX implications.
- You are skillful in using modern AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate workflows including code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation.
- You possess working knowledge of Node.js and API integration, including collaborating on API contracts and data models.
- You are able to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- You thrive in cross-functional, design-led environments, are proactive, solution-oriented, possess strong attention to detail, and are comfortable working across distributed international teams.
- You are passionate about doing what's right for our clients, understanding their business goals, and effectively able to teach, coach, and mentor other team members.
- You are a self-starting technologist who can draw parallels across a technology landscape, aren't restricted by a specific skillset, and understand Lean and Agile methodologies to optimize team efficiency.
Erfahrung
- Hands-on experience with ReactJS and Next.js (App Router, SSR, SSG, edge rendering), excelling in building component-driven architectures and reusable UI systems.
- You have proven experience working with headless CMS (e.g., Contentful), composable commerce setups (e.g., commercetools), and API-driven architectures.
- You have a practical interest or experience in integrating AI capabilities into frontend applications, understanding RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns and how frontend systems interact with LLM-powered services.
- You exhibit experience with modern build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turbopack) and a familiarity with deployment platforms (Vercel, AWS, Cloudflare).
Unser Angebot
- We believe great work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we've adopted a hybrid approach including required in-office days. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
