Job summary

Shockbyte is looking for a frontend engineer to own the customer journey across our Next.js monorepo from the Melbourne office. You’ll build pages, run experiments, and roll winners into the site, collaborating with marketing, CRO, and a senior full‑stack engineer.

You’ll ship the self-built checkout, integrate with WHMCS and Stripe, maintain the design system, and ensure fast, accessible, multi‑currency experiences for our global gaming customers.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5 years building and shipping production web applications.
• Strong React, with recent hands-on Next.js (App Router). You understand server components, rendering strategies and caching well enough to argue about the trade-offs
• Strong TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS, and comfort working within an established design token system rather than writing ad-hoc styles
• Experience in a monorepo with a shared component library. You can change shared code without breaking the apps that depend on it
• Confident integrating third-party APIs and services. You're the person who reads the docs and makes it work
• Working knowledge of analytics and tag management, including Google Tag Manager, dataLayer design and GA4
• Solid web performance, semantic HTML, accessibility and technical SEO fundamentals
• Comfortable owning your work end to end, from scoping it through shipping it to supporting it in production
• Strong, hands-on use of AI development tooling. This one matters to us. We expect coding agents and assistants to be part of how you work every day
• Clear written communication with non-technical colleagues. Most of your day-to-day collaborators won't be engineers
• Full working rights in Australia

Responsibilities

• Build and improve the customer journey from first visit through to completed checkout, with conversion as the measure of success
• Develop the front end of our self-built checkout, integrating with WHMCS for order creation and Stripe for payments
• Ship campaign and landing pages from Figma to production, on marketing's timelines
• Build and maintain components in our shared design system, used across all four of our apps
• Work with our headless CMS so the marketing team can move without waiting on you
• Build and maintain the tracking and tag management our CRO specialist relies on, implement the experiments they design, and roll winning variants permanently into the site
• Keep the site fast, accessible and technically sound for search, as organic is one of our biggest acquisition channels
• Support our growing set of locales and currencies
• Triage and fix front-end issues in production, including escalations from our support team
• Help retire the last of our legacy Nuxt code as we consolidate on Next.js
• Work with AI development tooling as a core part of how you ship, and help us get better at using it as a team
