Senior Frontend Engineer - Checkout (all genders)

• Full-time
• Compensation: EUR 70,000 - EUR 85,000 - yearly

SCAYLE stands for innovation, international collaboration, and a strong focus on data. We believe that stepping outside of our comfort zone and making bold decisions is key to growing both professionally and personally. Instead of seeing problems as obstacles, we approach them as opportunities to find better solutions. We work in an environment that encourages flexibility, creativity, and continuous development. What drives us is the shared motivation to make an impact and actively shape the future of eCommerce.

The Frontend Team builds the embeddable checkout, authentication and express-checkout web components behind SCAYLE’s Checkout as a Service which is our in-house eCommerce infrastructure licensed to online retailers. Tenant storefronts integrate them as a drop-in script, and the components own everything the customer sees from entering the checkout to order confirmation: authentication, addresses, payment selection and order placement, across many shops, countries and payment providers.

• Architecting and building modular checkout UI components in TypeScript and React, managing state and side effects with Redux Toolkit and redux-saga
• Developing payment provider integrations (e.g., Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay), including widget and redirect flows
• Owning storefront integration contracts for multi-tenant setups, including embeddable web components, host events, and tracking
• Optimizing Core Web Vitals, loading speeds, and rendering performance to drive conversion rates and elevate user experience
• Monitoring and resolving production issues across tenant shops using observability tools like Datadog
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Product, UX, Backend, and QA teams in daily agile workflows to ship features like one-page or multi-step checkout flows
• Driving engineering standards through thorough code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical refactoring initiatives
• Expanding core platform capabilities (e.g., for the SCAYLE checkout ecosystem) to enable client customization through injectable content

• 5+ years of frontend engineering experience with senior-level ownership (including enterprise-level experience or leading complex frontend setups)
• Building complex UIs with React 19, Redux Toolkit, and redux-saga, handling asynchronous flows, multi-step funnels, and payment redirects
• Optimizing Web Performance and Core Web Vitals to ensure fast loading speeds and high conversion rates
• Crafting semantic HTML5 and scalable CSS architectures using SCSS, BEM, and modern design systems
• Developing forms-heavy, internationalized UIs using tools like Formik and react-intl in multi-tenant REST API environments
• Writing automated tests (Jest, React Testing Library) and working within modern CI/CD pipelines
• Balancing technical excellence with business priorities, making pragmatic trade-offs to deliver value without over-engineering
• Communicating with transparency and ownership, proactively raising blockers in fluent English, collaborating across disciplines, and adapting in an agile environment
