What you'll do here:

• Translate business and content requirements into components for Content Management System and front-end implementations with clear technical acceptance criteria and effort estimates.

• Build accessible, performant, and author-friendly website components and templates (HTL/Sightly, dialogs, policies), integrating React/TypeScript for interactive experiences where appropriate.

• Create prototypes and mock-ups of websites or applications, and collaborate with designers to define layouts and component patterns aligned to Core Components or custom libraries.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization—including content authors, designers, product managers, localization, and backend engineers—to design content models and intuitive authoring experiences.

• Implement headless and hybrid front-ends consuming APIs (ex GraphQL, Content Services, Assets) with robust state management and routing where needed.

• Optimize front-end delivery, asset versioning, cache busting, dispatcher/CDN caching rules, and Core Web Vitals performance improvements.

• Develop and maintain authoring documentation, component usage guidelines, and content governance practices to enable non-technical users.

• Lead and coach junior team members in front-end development best practices, authoring support, testing, and performance optimization.

• Work independently on technical implementation tasks and collaborate through code reviews and documentation best practices.

• Troubleshoot issues across author/publish/dispatcher environments and support publishing workflows.

• Work as part of a multi-functional pod, with design and back-end development resources, leveraging agile methodologies to deliver experiences to our websites.

What you bring to the table:

• Minimum 5-years hands-on experience working with one or more enterprise Content Management Systems or equivalent.

• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, with a strong focus on accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), semantic markup, ARIA, and on-page SEO best practices.

• Styling: Proficient in CSS and working with component libraries/design systems (including Core Components or custom component libraries).

• Testing: Experience with automated frontend unit and integration testing (e.g., Vitest, Testing Library) and end-to-end testing across CMS author/publish environments (e.g., Playwright/Cypress).

• API Integration: Experience consuming REST and other APIs (GraphQL, Content Services, Assets), handling async data, localization (i18n/MSM), and content versioning.

• Performance and Observability: Understanding of web performance optimization techniques, Core Web Vitals, and caching strategies via dispatcher/CDN; familiarity with monitoring tools (e.g., Adobe Cloud Manager metrics or RUM solutions).

• Familiarity with Git workflows, code reviews, and documentation best practices.

• 5-years experience working within an agile environment, leveraging Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence).

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills and an attention to detail; passion for delivering excellent author and user experiences.

• For candidates located in Quebec, bilingualism is required considering the necessity to interact on a regular basis with English-speaking colleagues across the country.

• No Canadian work experience required; must be eligible to work in Canada.

Some nice-to-haves:

• Experience working with Craft CMS, using Twig templating, managing structured content and integrating functionality via GraphQL API.
