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.

In this role, you will
Build and launch new marketing pages and web assets using Next.js SSG and Payload CMS.
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.
Familiarity with Cloudflare.
Entry-level understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure.
A genuine interest in AI tools — experimenting with them, learning fast, and bringing fresh AI-driven approaches into everyday development work.
1.5+ years commercial front-end experience, React/Next.js proficiency, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5/CSS3, REST APIs, Git, modern build tools and package managers, intermediate English.
