Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior Front-End Developer with strong hands-on experience in React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend development, along with practical experience working with Sitecore-based headless applications.

The primary responsibility will be developing and maintaining modern, responsive, and high-performance frontend applications using React and Next.js. The candidate should also understand how a headless Sitecore implementation delivers content to the frontend and should be comfortable working with Sitecore Layout Service, content authoring, content management, components, datasources, and page layouts.

This is primarily a Front-End Engineering role, not a traditional Sitecore backend/development role.

* Build reusable React components that consume and render content provided by a headless Sitecore CMS.

* Understand how Sitecore-authored content is mapped to frontend React/Next.js components.

* Work with Sitecore authors and content teams to troubleshoot content, component, datasource, and page-authoring issues.

* Perform basic Sitecore content authoring, including creating/editing pages, components, datasources, and content fields.

* Understand Sitecore’s basic content tree, templates, renderings, placeholders, datasources, and publishing workflow.

* Troubleshoot issues where content authored in Sitecore is not displaying correctly in the frontend.

* Integrate frontend applications with REST APIs and GraphQL APIs where applicable.

* Implement responsive and accessible UI across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

* Optimize frontend applications for performance, SEO, and scalability.

* Implement appropriate data fetching, caching, and rendering strategies using Next.js.

* Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

* Participate in code reviews and maintain frontend coding standards.

* Collaborate with UI/UX designers, backend developers, Sitecore developers, QA engineers, content authors, and product/business teams.

* Support production troubleshooting and resolution of frontend and content-related issues.
