You enjoy understanding how things work beyond the browser, and you're comfortable reasoning across the edge, CDN, server, application, and data layers.\nThis is a build-it-and-run-it environment. We own what we build, operate it in production, and improve it when reality inevitably gives us feedback.\nWhat you'll do\n- Build and improve platform capabilities and Golden Paths for frontend engineers.\n- Make frontend delivery more consistent, reliable, and self-service.\n- Improve the developer experience across local development, testing, CI/CD, releases, and deployments.\n- Work on complex frontend platform topics such as caching, performance, configuration, observability, and application architecture.\n- Help define sensible standards without creating unnecessary ceremony.\n- Collaborate with - Build and improve platform capabilities and Golden Paths for frontend engineers.\n- Make frontend delivery more consistent, reliable, and self-service.\n- Improve the developer experience across local development, testing, CI/CD, releases, and deployments.\n- Work on complex frontend platform topics such as caching, performance, configuration, observability, and application architecture.\n- Help define sensible standards without creating unnecessary ceremony.\n- Collaborate with product engineers, platform teams, and technical leaders across Back Market.product engineers, platform teams, and technical leaders across Back Market.\n- Write maintainable code with appropriate tests and documentation.\n- Participate in technical discussions, code reviews, incident response, and the occasional \"how did this end up in production?\" investigation.\n- Share what you learn and help make the platform easier for everyone to use.\nWhat we're looking for\n- Strong professional experience with JavaScript and TypeScript.\n- Solid frontend fundamentals, including browser behaviour, HTTP, SSR, APIs, performance, and application architecture.\n- Experience with Vue.js and Nuxt, or a comparable frontend ecosystem.\n- A good understanding of caching and performance trade-offs.
