G.Digital are buzzing to be working with a seriously forward-thinking eCommerce brand who are about to give their entire front end a glow-up, we're talking full replatform to Next.js, powered by TypeScript, Tailwind, and top-tier design.

They're building the future of online retail: faster sites, smarter journeys, and genuinely slick customer experiences, and now they need a Lead Developer to take the reins.

The Role

You'll be steering the frontend rebuild from the ground up — leading a small but sharp dev team, shaping the new architecture, and setting the standards for clean, scalable, lightning-fast code.

This is your chance to make a real mark on a high-traffic eCommerce platform and have your tech decisions define the next chapter of their digital story.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and mentoring the frontend team through a full Next.js replatform.
• Driving TypeScript-first development across the board.
• Owning the frontend architecture – performance, scalability, best practice, the lot.
• Collaborating with design and backend teams to ship seamless, beautiful experiences.
• Championing modern workflows and reusable component design.

What You'll Bring

• Expert in JavaScript / TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with Next.js (that's your playground).
• Confidence with Tailwind CSS, Git, and build tools like Vite or Webpack.
• A great eye for design and user experience.
• Bonus points for exposure to Drupal, Magento, or PHP environments.
