React/Next.js Developer (Headless CMS, GraphQL, AWS)

Northampton (4 days onsite, Fridays from home)

Your new company

I'm recruiting a React/Next.js Developer with Headless CMS experience to work for a market-leading manufacturing business within their niche that is investing heavily into modernising their enterprise E-Commmerce platform as part of a wider transformation programme.

This is a company with a strong engineering heritage, now modernising how it engages customers through technology. Their core platform supports both B2B and B2C Ecommerce, making it a genuinely complex environment with real scale and variety in user journeys.

You'll be joining at a point where they are bringing more capability in-house from third-party providers, giving you the opportunity to take ownership, influence technical direction and leave a visible mark on how their frontend estate evolves.

Your new role

This role is centred around building and owning the core Ecommerce website experience within a modern, headless architecture.

You'll be developing in React, working with GraphQL APIs and integrating with Hygraph CMS, helping to deliver a fast, scalable and flexible frontend that supports a complex ecommerce environment.

Beyond the tech, this role has strong visibility. You'll engage with internal stakeholders across the business, helping translate requirements into technical solutions. It's not just about building components. It's about shaping how the platform evolves.

With the move away from agencies, you'll play a key role in establishing in-house capability. It's a genuine opportunity to take ownership and influence how things are done moving forward.

What you'll need to succeed

• Experience with or exposure to headless CMS platforms such as Hygraph
• Good understanding of GraphQL and modern data fetching approaches
• Understanding of PWA concepts and frontend performance optimisation
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage non-technical stakeholders
• Experience building B2B and B2C e-commerce websites is essential, interacting with a Magento back end ideally.

What you'll get in return

• free onsite parking
• 25 days holiday
• strong pension
• various healthcare schemes

They work Friday's at home and flexible working hours to support a balanced lifestyle. They will also fund training and certifications to enhance your skill set. Visa Sponsorship is not available initially, but can be offered to those on dependent or PSW / Graduate Visas after 6 months.
