Job description

We Are:

the company Song accelerates growth and value for our clients through sustained customer relevance. Our capabilities span ideation to execution: growth, product and experience design; technology and experience platforms; creative, media and marketing strategy; and campaign, content and channel orchestration. With strong client relationships and deep industry expertise, we help our clients operate at the speed of life through the unlimited potential of imagination, technology and intelligence. Visit us at: www.the company.com/song

Digital Products creates value for our clients, their employees, and their customers. We design and build impactful experiences fueled by technology that change the way people work and live. With expertise in product strategy, design, innovation, and delivery transformation at scale, assisting with design thinking, integrating user-experience design/research, and impeccable development for native mobile, web, and embedded systems, we help bring clarity to any omni-channel product vision.

You Are:

While most people have no idea what you do or how you do it, you know exactly what it takes to own a domain end-to-end, translate creative vision into scalable web implementations, and bring the engineers around you up to your standard. Clients rely on you directly for project plans and scope, not just delivery, and you're comfortable being the senior or lead voice in the room when there's no clear answer. If you're passionate about developing rich, interactive digital solutions that move a brand forward, and about pairing that craft with modern AI-assisted development practices, we'd like to meet you.

The Work:

• Own front-end technical design and quality for a product/domain, hands-on, translating creative and UX direction into scalable, accessible HTML5/CSS/JavaScript (TypeScript) implementations across desktop and mobile
• Set the technical patterns and code-review standards your squad follows for cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility, performance, and accessibility
• Work independently as the senior or lead front-end developer, coaching and guiding engineers within your area of expertise
• Communicate frequently and directly with clients on project plans and scope
• Hold overall accountability for the delivery of front-end solution design and deliverables
• Conduct code reviews to ensure quality, standards compliance, re-usability, and maintainability
• Provide technical support for escalated incidents/outages to minimize client impact
• Rapidly prototype new concepts through self-initiated proofs of concept, including using GenAI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) as part of your day-to-day development workflow
• Build and maintain highly accessible, high-performing components on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), partnering with design teams to translate specs into production front-end code
• Explore GenAI-powered product features (e.g., Adobe Firefly-style generative image tooling: background removal, resize, reframe, crop) alongside your core front-end work
• Make sound technical calls even when there's no clear answer, and defend them to clients and teammates

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of experience with semantic HTML5, CSS preprocessors (LESS \& Sass), and modern UI frameworks
• 5+ years of experience in JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue), consumption of RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and modern build/test tooling (Vite/Webpack, Jest/Vitest, Playwright/Cypress)
• 5+ years of experience with Responsive Design and multi-platform/multi-browser compatibility across current evergreen browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Hands-on experience building components on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or an equivalent enterprise CMS/DXP
• Hands-on experience using GenAI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development, with sound judgment on when to trust vs. verify AI-generated code
• Proven experience working independently as the senior or lead developer on a project, coaching and guiding other engineers
• Experience conducting code reviews and enforcing SDLC standards on complex projects
• A minimum of a high school diploma or GED is required for this position

Bonus points if:

• You have experience working at an advertising/design/consulting agency or web startup
• You have experience building GenAI-powered product features on top of Adobe's stack (e.g., Firefly-style generative image APIs) or a comparable GenAI product integration
• You are experienced in creating project estimates, defining scope requirements, and structuring projects
• You possess strong communication and organizational skills with an ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, both internal and client-facing
