As a Creative Technology Lead, you’ll serve as the go-to for front end technology recommendations and implementation leadership on our CMS and e-commerce platforms.
Creativity is in our name, and that’s because we’re more than engineers focused only on code. We don’t focus our consult on the limitations, simplicity, or push only what has been done before. Instead, we offer the possibilities. When doing so, you’ll partner with our UX and design teams to push technology that delivers better user experiences while collaborating with our backend team integrating custom UIs and business logic.
You’ll serve as the go-to for front end technology recommendations and implementation leadership on our CMS and e-commerce platforms. Partnering with our UX and design teams, you’ll push technology to deliver better experiences. You’ll be responsible for a mix of consultation and management for front end development. Your day-to-day responsibilities will range from leading front end development methodologies, estimation, sprint planning, cross-team collaboration, and communication.
As a leader of a team full of eager creative technologists, you’ll be challenged to adopt a platform-agnostic mindset by applying common patterns to new technologies and approaches. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally, accumulate an impeccable portfolio, and have a lasting impact on some exceptional B2B and B2C brands.
