Frontend Engineer (Javascript and Templating)

Location: Jordan

The Opportunity

As Frontend Engineer, you will develop rich, high-performance web applications supporting our analytics platforms. You will work closely with UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers to deliver scalable and maintainable interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

-        Analyse application requirements and translate designs into performant, modular frontend code

-        Build and maintain interactive user interfaces using React.js with support for client-side and server-side rendering (e.g., Next.js)

-        Implement templating engines (e.g., Handlebars, EJS, Nunjucks) to support server-rendered UI and dynamic content delivery

-        Integrate with RESTful and GraphQL APIs, ensuring secure and efficient data flow

-        Optimize frontend rendering and initial page load through modern SSR/CSR techniques, lazy loading, and hydration

-        Enhance CDN performance by enabling content caching, edge rendering strategies, and route-based invalidation

-        Implement and maintain JavaScript instrumentation for Real User Monitoring (RUM), tracking metrics such as First Contentful Paint, Time to Interactive, and long tasks

-        Utilize Server-Side Includes (SSI) or modern equivalents (e.g., Edge-side Includes, CDN-based fragments, or streaming SSR) to dynamically inject reusable HTML blocks efficiently

-        Develop frontend logic to assist backend services in measuring server responsiveness, latency, and perceived performance

-        Troubleshoot frontend issues using browser dev tools, performance profilers, and network analysis

-        Collaborate with DevOps to optimize CDN configurations and deployment pipelines for continuous delivery

-        Maintain high coding standards and documentation for UI components and integration patterns

-        Proven experience with React.js including SSR/CSR strategies using Next.js

-        Hands-on experience with templating engines for server-rendered views

-        Deep knowledge of CDN behaviors (e.g., Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, or AWS CloudFront) and edge caching strategies

-        Experience implementing real user monitoring (RUM) scripts and collecting custom metrics via JS inserts

-        Familiarity with modern server-side includes (e.g., ESI, micro-frontends, React streaming)

-        Ability to interpret backend responsiveness through frontend timing APIs and server interaction analysis

-        Proficient in Webpack, Vite, or similar build tools; Git and CI/CD pipelines

-        Strong debugging skills using browser tools, Lighthouse, WebPageTest, and DevTools

-        Familiarity with automated testing (Jest, Mocha), accessibility standards, and security best practices

-        Fluent English and Arabic is required
