This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Development Engineer II - Frontend based in India. This role offers the opportunity to build the frontend foundations of a global commerce platform designed to support millions of small and medium-sized businesses. You will create customer-facing experiences across storefronts, checkout, catalogs, subscriptions, invoices, and contracts. The work combines frontend engineering depth with a strong focus on performance, resilience, accessibility, and internationalisation. Your interfaces will operate across 150+ countries, including challenging network conditions, slower devices, and embedded third-party environments. You will have significant ownership over performance budgets, observability, offline capabilities, and the quality of the overall user experience. Working in a largely greenfield environment, you will collaborate closely with product and design teams while helping shape modern commerce capabilities. The role also provides opportunities to mentor junior engineers and contribute to a fast-moving, remote-first engineering culture.

Accountabilities: Build and ship high-quality commerce experiences, including storefronts, checkout, product catalogs, subscription management, invoices, and customer-facing documents. Develop frontend experiences that can be embedded into other applications using approaches such as module federation, iframes, and white-label hosts while maintaining isolation, fast loading, and graceful degradation. Own frontend performance budgets end to end, monitoring Core Web Vitals, bundle size, rendering costs, hydration, and main-thread activity, and measuring performance continuously through CI and production tooling. Build installable and offline-tolerant progressive web applications using service workers, thoughtful caching strategies, background synchronization, and reliable offline behavior. Deliver accessible experiences aligned with WCAG 2.2 AA, including semantic markup, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen-reader support. Support comprehensive internationalisation and localisation across languages, currencies, tax requirements, address formats, locale-aware formatting, and right-to-left layouts. Instrument frontend applications with real-user monitoring and OpenTelemetry to identify performance and reliability regressions before they significantly impact customers. Collaborate closely with product managers and designers to translate requirements into polished, scalable experiences. Mentor junior engineers, share technical knowledge, and contribute to engineering standards and continuous improvement. Requirements: 2+ years of experience building and operating production frontend applications, with strong ownership of real-world software systems. Deep knowledge of Vue.js, including its reactivity model, component composition, rendering behavior, and the performance implications of architectural and implementation choices. Strong frontend performance expertise, with hands-on experience using Lighthouse, Chrome DevTools, and performance profiling tools to identify, measure, and resolve regressions. Practical knowledge of service workers and caching strategies, including precaching, runtime caching, versioning, invalidation, and reliable offline behavior. Experience with client-side state management and local caching at scale, using TanStack Query or an equivalent solution, including cache keys, staleness, invalidation, and optimistic updates. Strong understanding of accessibility as part of the development process, including semantic HTML, focus management, keyboard navigation, screen-reader behavior, and WCAG 2.2 AA. Experience with internationalisation and localisation, including message extraction, pluralisation, locale-aware currency and date formatting, and RTL layouts. Familiarity with modern frontend tooling and module federation, including technologies such as Rspack and Vite, as well as bundle analysis and code splitting. Strong attention to frontend craftsmanship, with the ability to identify and resolve subtle issues such as alignment inconsistencies, janky scrolling, layout shifts, and degraded experiences on throttled connections. Comfortable consuming typed backend contracts such as ConnectRPC/protobuf and reasoning about API contracts, error handling, and client-side failure states. Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex frontend issues and deliver practical solutions. Experience with the broader technical environment is valuable, including Go, ConnectRPC, Buf, GCP/GKE, Pub/Sub, ESLint, OpenTelemetry, and progressive web application technologies. Benefits: Opportunity to work on a global commerce platform designed to support millions of businesses and significant transaction volumes. Exposure to greenfield engineering initiatives with limited technical debt and opportunities to influence architecture and product direction. Work on challenging frontend problems involving performance, accessibility, resilience, localisation, offline functionality, and embedded experiences. Remote-first working environment designed to support distributed teams across multiple countries. Collaboration with product, design, and engineering professionals in a fast-paced, ownership-oriented culture. Opportunities to mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical standards and engineering practices. Continuous learning and professional development through exposure to modern frontend technologies and large-scale distributed systems. Opportunity to build software that directly influences customer experiences, conversion, and business outcomes.
