We are working with a fast-growing, high-volume e-commerce business looking to appoint a Magento Open Source Front-End Developer to join its established in-house development team.

This is an opportunity to work within a complex e-commerce environment supporting a large product portfolio of approximately 15,000 SKUs across multiple B2C and B2B platforms. The business is investing significantly across its digital estate, with a major focus on improving the performance, responsiveness and overall customer experience of its Magento storefronts.

The immediate focus will be on the continued development of its Magento Open Source environment, including the implementation and development of Hyvä, alongside a wider Magento version upgrade.

The Role

Working as part of an established in-house development team, you will help develop and improve high-volume Magento websites, with a particular focus on the B2C customer experience.

The work is varied and fast-paced, ranging from new website and brand launches through to platform enhancements, bug fixes, releases and larger transformation projects.

Responsibilities Will Include

• Developing responsive, high-performing front-end experiences within Magento Open Source
• Working extensively with Hyvä Themes
• Supporting the ongoing development and upgrade of the Magento estate
• Building and improving functionality across high-volume B2C e-commerce websites
• Improving site performance, usability and Core Web Vitals
• Translating requirements and wireframes into effective customer-facing functionality
• Supporting new website and brand launches
• Working closely with e-commerce, technology, ERP and development teams
• Contributing to organic SEO and wider website performance improvements

What We're Looking For

The key requirement is strong commercial experience working with Magento Open Source from a front-end development perspective.

You Should Have

• Commercial Magento 2 / Magento Open Source development experience
• Front-end experience within a Magento environment
• Hands-on experience with Hyvä
• Strong HTML and CSS skills
• Experience developing responsive, high-performing e-commerce websites
• An understanding of Magento themes, templates and front-end architecture
• Experience working within B2C e-commerce environments

Experience with Alpine.js and modern JavaScript would be beneficial but is not essential.

Exposure to large product catalogues, manufacturing, warehousing, retail or other complex e-commerce environments would also be advantageous. Experience working within regulated consumer sectors would be particularly relevant.

The Environment

This is not a purely BAU website maintenance role. The wider technology function is currently delivering a significant programme of change across e-commerce, APIs, data, warehousing and retail technology.

You’ll join an established development team and have exposure to a broad range of projects while playing a key role in the continued evolution of the organisation's Magento platform.

The preference is for someone able to work on-site in Lancashire around three days per week. However, there is flexibility around the hybrid arrangement for candidates with particularly strong Magento Open Source and Hyvä experience.

If you're a Magento Front-End Developer looking for an opportunity to work on a complex, high-volume e-commerce platform, we'd be keen to hear from you.
