Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our global team, specializing in the critical bridge between headless CMS platforms and modern frontend applications. In this role, you will work across diverse client projects in enterprise environments, building the integrations and customizations that connect content management systems to sophisticated React and Next.js applications.

You will work with headless CMS platforms (Strapi preferred, but experience with Contentful, Sanity, or similar platforms is valued), developing custom plugins and modules on the CMS side while simultaneously implementing the frontend components and integrations that consume that content. Your expertise in Next.js will be essential as you build server‑side rendered applications, implement design systems using Tailwind CSS and Shadcn components, and integrate external services including analytics platforms, logging systems, and various enterprise APIs.

This role requires strong capabilities across the full stack with particular strength in connecting backend content systems to frontend experiences. You will design and implement GraphQL and RESTful APIs, integrate third‑party services and design systems, implement comprehensive logging and analytics strategies, and ensure smooth data flow from CMS to user interface. You will work with PostgreSQL databases, implement caching with Redis, and deploy containerized applications while collaborating with architects, designers, and other developers to deliver high‑quality digital experiences.

• Develop custom CMS plugins and modules to extend headless CMS functionality.

• Integrate frontend applications with headless CMS content APIs.
• Implement design systems using Tailwind CSS and component libraries like Shadcn.
• Configure OpenSearch indexes and search schemas aligned with CMS content models.
• Develop webhooks to trigger real-time search index updates on content publication; integrate analytics platforms and tracking implementations across applications.
• Establish logging strategies and implement structured logging across frontend and backend.
• Build integrations with external services and third‑party APIs.
• Develop workflow automation systems for content approval and publishing processes.
