The team builds and maintains the digital layer that connects MacPaw's products with the world — marketing pages, landing experiments, payment flows, and the underlying infrastructure that keeps it all running.
As a Junior Front-End Engineer, you'll work across a diverse set of web projects from day one. You'll build new pages, support existing ones, help migrate legacy assets to a modern stack, and contribute to internal automations that make the whole team faster.

•
Maintain and improve 8+ active web projects, including working with some legacy components built on Laravel with Blade templates.
•
Help migrate existing web assets from older tools to the team's unified Next.js + Payload architecture.
•
Contribute to internal workflow automations that eliminate repetitive manual work and speed up development.
•
Set up, launch, and monitor A/B tests to optimize user funnels and web performance.
•
Work with payment gateway integrations to support seamless checkout experiences.
Skills you'll need to bring:
•
At least 1.5 years of commercial front-end development experience.
•
Solid understanding of React.js or practical experience with React-based frameworks ( Next.js is our destination stack).
•
Strong knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+) and modern web development principles.
•
Proficiency in semantic HTML5, CSS3, and responsive/adaptive web design.
•
Good understanding of RESTful API concepts and how frontend-to-server communication works.
•
Essential version control skills: commits, branches, and pull requests in Git.
•
Experience with modern build tools (Vite, Webpack) and package managers (pnpm, npm).
•
At least an Intermediate level of English language.
As a plus:
•
Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, or initial attempts to configure them.
•

•
