Everyone is welcome here. Diversity & Inclusion are at our core. Far above any technical competence, we value respect, openness, and trusted collaboration. We do not tolerate intolerance.

We’re looking for a Frontend Developer – Ecommerce to join the Hypernode Tech Team. Hypernode is a specialist managed hosting provider with a complete focus on e-commerce. On our hosting platform, we host web shops built with Magento, Shopware, Woo Commerce, and Akeneo among others.

As an experienced team member, your responsibilities include:

• Lead Website Migration: You will take full ownership of porting  away from Word Press to a modern, comparable framework. You will need to evaluate and select the target stack (e.g., SSR/SSG/ISR with hydration) together with your team, choose a headless CMS, define content models, and execute the migration, ensuring feature parity and a smooth authoring experience.

• Frontend Architecture & Standards: You will define and enforce software design standards and patterns to ensure consistency across the new platform. You will drive solutions that perform strategic trade‑offs between functional and non‑functional requirements.
• Performance Engineering: You will drive the scaling and stability of our frontend services by measuring and optimizing technical performance. This includes deep optimization of Web Vitals and page rendering strategies.
• Frontend Development: Beyond the website, you will contribute to other frontend‑focused projects, such as the Hypernode Control Panel, ensuring a unified user experience across our ecosystem.
• Collaboration: You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across technical, commercial, and product areas, translating business needs into robust technical solutions.
