Job description

Career Opportunity

Acro Commerce is looking for a Front End Developer to build and maintain high-quality e-commerce experiences for our clients.

We want someone who codes in React like it’s their native tongue, but still communicates well with our crew and sometimes with clients. Turn a Figma file into a fast, componentized, pixel‑perfect build and catch minor visual issues before anyone else notices. Your work should be solid and well‑tested, while you remain approachable and collaborative.

You know your own code. Walk us through a build that didn’t go as planned, explain what you’d do differently, and show ownership. Honesty and humility are valued.

You must be able to provide example work.

What you'll do

• Build & Ship: Build and maintain front ends primarily in React, Next.js, and TypeScript, turning Figma designs into clean, componentized, well‑tested code.
• Implement updates and revisions to existing websites and web applications.
• Work independently across multiple smaller tasks or larger builds with shifting priorities to meet deadlines.

• Quality & Estimation: Produce high‑quality work adhering to Acro Media standards and the Acro Media production process.
• Provide accurate estimates for the time required to fix a defect, complete a build, or add functionality to an existing application.
• Find and fix problems in code; this might not be your code, and your only hint might be a cryptic complaint from a client.

• Collaboration: Communicate well with Account Managers, Supervisors, and Clients about work requests, problems, and defects.
• Act as a peer/mentor to other developers and be comfortable asking for help from teammates.

What you'll bring

• We’re less concerned with degrees and more with what you can actually build. Formal education or prior experience is not required; we just want to see your code.
• Strong, hands‑on React experience, comfortable building component‑driven UIs and working from a design system or component library (Storybook experience is a plus).
• An eye for design. You don’t need to be a designer, but you should be able to compare a build against a Figma file and spot spacing, type, hierarchy, polish issues, and propose fixes.
• Solid grasp of responsive, accessible front‑end development; build things that hold up across devices and know WCAG basics without being asked.
• We like frameworks, but show us what you can do without one; comfortable hand‑coding clean HTML, CSS, and JS when the situation calls for it.
• Comfortable working in a Linux shell for day‑to‑day tasks; some understanding of Linux hosting is a plus.
• Source control experience (Git, GitHub, etc.).
• We’re open to good programmers who know other languages and technologies and are willing to learn. Our core stack is React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and we value skills in JavaScript, Tailwind, SASS/SCSS, Figma, Drupal, Shopify, WordPress, Docker, Lando. Nice‑to‑haves include testing tools (Cypress, React Testing Library), other front‑end frameworks (Bootstrap, MUI), package managers (npm, Yarn), CI tooling (Gulp, Grunt), and analytics/performance tools (Lighthouse, Google Analytics). Mention any unique skills or creative pursuits.
• An excellent internet connection and adequate hardware are required; you must be able to sustain an hour‑long conference call without issues.
• Fluency in English.

All offers of employment with Acro Commerce are contingent on successfully completing a criminal background check.

Working remotely

Given the often isolated nature of remote work, we value team members who get involved, communicate effectively over email, chat, and video, and aren’t afraid to show their face on a webcam. We want you to be part of the team, not just a fly on the wall.

What we bring

• Ownership and impact. Developers own this joint here. We’re not going to stick you in a corner with headphones on and call you “the IT department.” The expected salary range for this role for candidates residing in Canada is $50,000–$134,000 CAD, tailored to your skills, performance, qualifications, experience, and location.
• Autonomy over your schedule. Flex start times, earned days off, and real remote work. Prefer to start at 8:00? 9:00? We’ll work with you. Want every second Friday off? We’ve got a program for that. Work from your home office or from our Kelowna HQ, your call. (Some client contracts require staff to be located in Canada, so most positions need you to be legally able to work here.)
• Professional development. We might live and breathe software development, but we are also passionate about our team’s personal development. We love to learn and are always striving to be the best version of ourselves; whether it’s training on the latest technology or learning how to become a better delegator, we will help you improve your skills and hit your goals.
• Culture. We’re a certain type of people. We’re all a little different and unique in our own way, but we seem to work well together. No one’s perfect, and we embrace that. We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Check out our site to get to know us! Feel free to dissect what and how we do what we do.
