Job Description

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and maintain Nearmap's public website using Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript.
• Develop configurable, reusable MUI components mapped to Storyblok CMS, giving the content team the autonomy to launch and update pages independently.
• Configure CMS schemas and the Visual Editor to maximise editorial flexibility over page structure and copy.
• Deliver eCommerce flows, personalisation features, and A/B testing integrations.
• Collaborate with Design and Content to ship on-brand web experiences and respond to ongoing refresh requests.
• Own Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) across the site - monitor, benchmark and resolve regressions proactively.
• Implement SEO best practices: semantic HTML, Next.js Metadata API, structured data, sitemaps and image optimisation.
• Apply the right Next.js rendering strategies (SSG, ISR, SSR) to balance performance with content freshness.

Qualifications

Experience

• 3–5 years of front-end development experience, with at least 2 years working in Next.js and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience integrating a headless CMS - Storyblok strongly preferred; Contentful or Sanity considered equivalent.
• Proficiency with MUI (or equivalent component library) including theming and custom components.
• Demonstrable track record of strong Core Web Vitals on production websites.
• Solid understanding of SEO fundamentals for JavaScript-rendered sites.
• React experience for internal web applications is a plus.
• Exposure to Node.js or CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions) is advantageous.

Skills & Mindset

• Strong HTML, CSS and web accessibility fundamentals.
• Performance profiling with Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights and Chrome DevTools.
• Unit and integration testing with Jest and React Testing Library.
• Collaborative team player, comfortable working across Engineering, Content and Design.
• Proactive — flags issues early and ships improvements without waiting to be asked.
• Strong communicator who can bridge technical constraints and non-technical stakeholders.
• Enthusiasm for agile methodologies and lean software development.
