Senior Front-End Developer

Summary
Senior Front-End Developer at Jobber building and optimizing getjobber.com using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Sanity in a headless architecture; the role involves shipping conversion-focused features, mentoring developers, setting technical standards, and leading AI-assisted development practices.
- Jobber’s website is one of our most important growth engines — the place where small home-service businesses first meet the product and decide to start a trial
- The Web team builds and continuously improves getjobber
- Com, shipping new pages, running a high-velocity experimentation program, and pushing the limits of what a marketing site can do for conversion, SEO, and AI-driven discovery
- We’re looking for a Senior Front-End Developer - ideally with full-stack experience/knowledge - to contribute to building our modern stack Jamstack projects and help raise the technical bar of the team
- You’ll work primarily in Next.Js, Sanity, React and TypeScript within a headless/composable architecture, contributing to our growing UI library and the systems that lets us ship and test quickly
- Back-end familiarity is important: our site is content-driven, so you’ll work across a headless CMS with the APIs and services that power our pages
- You’ll regularly interface with engineers on the Product side
- This is a senior individual-contributor role with real technical influence: you’ll set patterns, mentor other developers, and partner with the Engineering Manager on standards and code quality — without carrying people-management responsibilities
- We’re actively reshaping how we build — using AI coding agents, MCP-connected tooling, and automated workflows to move faster without sacrificing quality — and we want this person to help lead that evolution, not just keep up with it
- Ship production features in Next.js, Sanity, and React with TypeScript across getjobber.com, from marketing and feature pages to conversion-critical surfaces like pricing
- Contribute to and extend our shared component library and design system so the team builds faster on consistent, reusable, well-tested foundations
- Own performance and accessibility as first-class requirements — Core Web Vitals, semantic and accessible markup, and fast, resilient page loads that directly support conversion
- Work across the stack on a content-driven site — integrate with a headless CMS, and build and consume the APIs and services that power our pages
- Write well-tested, scalable, well-organized code and drive consistent engineering practices through code review
- Collaborate with our other developers on best technical practices and project decisions
- Use AI coding tools and agents fluently (e.g. Claude, AI-assisted IDEs, agentic workflows) to accelerate development while keeping a critical eye on output quality and reliability
- Improve how the team works with AI — building and refining MCP integrations, prompts, and context so our tickets, content, and codebase are AI-ready
- Help define and benchmark team standards for AI-assisted development — identifying what works, documenting it, and raising the whole team’s baseline
- Build and ship A/B and multivariate experiments quickly, partnering with CRO and product stakeholders to keep the test pipeline moving
- Engineer for velocity — reduce the friction between a test idea and a live experiment, and make iteration cheap
- Support SEO, LLM, and AI-search initiatives with the technical foundations (structured data, performance, rendering) that keep the site discoverable as search evolves
- Set patterns and technical direction for how we build, and bring the team along through pragmatic, well-reasoned decisions
- Mentor and coach other front-end developers, lifting their skills and holding the team to its engineering principles
- Partner with the Engineering Manager on technical standards, code quality, and architecture
- Interface with engineers on the Product team, coordinating across shared systems and boundaries (e.g. the signup and pricing surfaces) to align on patterns, integrations, and handoffs
- Identify and act on opportunities to improve the stack, tooling, and processes, and maintain strong team documentation
- Just as importantly, we want someone who treats AI-assisted development as a core engineering skill
- Technical leadership without ego. You set standards and mentor others while staying collaborative and open to better ideas
- Comfort in the grey areas. You’re adaptable, can prioritize amid ambiguity and changing priorities, and break large, complex problems into shippable pieces
- Headless CMS experience (required). You’ve built content-driven sites on a headless CMS and understand how to model, integrate, and ship content at scale
- Strong communication. You collaborate easily with both technical and non-technical partners — designers, marketers, PMs, and CRO
- Ambitious and humble. You don’t accept the status quo simply because “it’s what we’ve always done” — you push for better, newer, more innovative approaches while staying grounded
- Back-end familiarity — full-stack ideal. You’re comfortable working beyond the front end: building and integrating APIs and services, and reasoning about the systems behind the pages. A full-stack background is highly preferred
- Strong Next.js and React experience. You’ve built and maintained real applications on this stack and understand modern rendering, component architecture, and tooling
- Hands-on AI-assisted development. You actively use AI coding tools in your day-to-day work and have a point of view on where they help, where they don’t, and how to use them responsibly
- A growth and experimentation mindset. You’re comfortable building for measurement and iteration, and you care about the business outcome your code drives
- Deep front-end expertise. Expert command of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, accessibility, and web performance, plus several years building production applications
- Experience with client-side and feature-flag experimentation platforms (e.g. Optimizely, Kameleoon, Adobe Target) and analytics tools (e.g. Amplitude, GA360)
- Experience working within a design system or maintaining a shared component library
- Experience collaborating with product engineering teams across shared systems
- Experience collaborating closely with designers in Figma
