Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and internationalization/localization frameworks is preferred.

Responsibilities

Development & Application Architecture: Build and maintain high-quality features within a modern JavaScript stack using Next.js and TypeScript, with a focus on maximizing user satisfaction. The architecture leverages managed services for infrastructure, so your efforts will be focused on building performant, scalable application features rather than maintaining backend systems. Contribute across the full application where needed, with the majority of work centered on frontend and application-layer development.
CMS & Data Integration: Support the implementation and customization of a headless CMS (e.g., Payload, Contentful, Sanity, Strapi), ensuring smooth editorial workflows and dynamic content rendering. Implement and manage data fetching, API integrations, and content delivery patterns within Next.js applications, with a strong understanding of how data flows through modern web applications.
Performance Optimization: Ensure site speed, accessibility, and performance benchmarks are met, especially in line with technical SEO standards and Core Web Vitals.
Affiliate-Ready Architecture: Build components that support affiliate tracking, monetization placements, and flexible commercial modules.
Responsive & Accessible UI: Develop modern pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces that meet accessibility and usability standards across devices.
Code Quality & Collaboration: Write clean, reusable code; participate in code reviews; follow version control and CI/CD best practices. Work in collaboration with your manager and teammates to scope and estimate level of technical effort for tasks/projects based on provided requirements.
AI-Enabled Development: Leverage AI tools paired with hands-on code implementation to enhance development efficiency, code quality, and problem-solving (e.g., code generation, debugging, documentation, and optimization), while applying sound engineering judgment to validate outputs and ensure production-ready results.
Environment & Tooling: Work with containerized environments (Docker) and have a general understanding of Linux-based systems to support development and deployment workflows.
Cross-Functional Support: Work directly with designers, editors, and analysts to ensure smooth implementation of content, analytics, and conversion-related features.
Other duties as assigned in support of the Media Site team.
