About The Position

The Market Tech team owns the order page platform, the core acquisition surface that drives new member subscriptions and existing member upgrades across The Motley Fool's product portfolio. It's high-stakes, high-visibility work: the experiences this team ships directly influence how people become Fools. The team moves fast, sweats the details, and takes conversion seriously without losing sight of the craft. As a Frontend Engineer contractor, you'll be a core contributor to the order page platform: building components, expanding CMS capabilities, and making sure critical purchase paths are reliable, performant, and conversion-optimized. You'll work closely with marketing, product, and engineering in a modern Next.js/React codebase backed by Sanity CMS.

Built applications using a headless CMS; Sanity experience is a strong plus
Can write and maintain end-to-end tests and take ownership of critical purchase path coverage
Experience with Docker, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines for Next.js applications
Comfortable working independently in a remote contractor capacity: proactive, communicative, and low-maintenance
Use AI tools (like Claude Code and multi-agent workflows) daily to assist with planning and implementation, thoughtfully, not blindly
Solid handle on web performance optimization: caching, asset bundling, and the like
Clean communication habits: daily stand-up attendance, timely Slack responses, Jira ticket updates, and proactive status updates
Experience with A/B testing frameworks and an eye for conversion-focused UI/UX
Familiarity with system monitoring and error reporting tools like Datadog and Sentry
