Senior Frontend Developer – Join a High-Performance Team Focused on UI/UX Excellence
Are you passionate about crafting high-performance, accessible, and responsive user interfaces, with a deep understanding of the DOM and modern JavaScript (without relying on frameworks as a crutch)? Do you have a sharp eye for detail when it comes to front-end performance and thrive when taking ownership of your work? If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
We work with an established e-commerce company specializing in innovative beauty brands, with 400,000 daily sessions and over 2,000,000 registered users. Our client needs a Senior Frontend Developer based in Krakow who is passionate about creating seamless, engaging user experiences and is skilled in implementing polished UIs across a variety of projects.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead the development of new features and components with a focus on clean, maintainable code.
- Work primarily on customer-facing web interfaces, ensuring seamless user experiences
- Refactor and optimize existing code to improve performance and maintainability.
- Build custom, scalable web components using vanilla JS/TS — not frameworks.
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility and build responsive, accessible UIs that scale effortlessly across devices.
- Work with Shopify technologies (e.g., Liquid, custom apps, and extensions) required for specific tasks.
Responsibilities:
- 6+ years of commercial experience in JavaScript and TypeScript with a focus on front-end development.
- Deep understanding of vanilla JS/TS, including advanced patterns and concepts like closures, prototype chains, and DOM events.
- Proven ability to write “vanilla” interfaces - framework knowledge is good, but fundamental JS/DOM expertise is essential.
- Strong grasp of performance optimization techniques (e.g., requestAnimationFrame, minimizing layout thrashing).
- Experience building accessible UIs that comply with web standards.
- Proficiency in ensuring cross-browser functionality, responsive design, and mobile-first development.
- Self-sufficient problem solver — you should thrive in environments where you can work independently with minimal oversight.
- Ability to communicate clearly and respectfully in a professional environment that values autonomy.
Would be a plus:
- Familiarity with Shopify and Liquid templates, as well as custom apps and extensions.
- Experience with SASS or other CSS preprocessors.
- Strong interest in UI/UX best practices and trends.
