Job Technologies

Your role in the team

  • The frontend team develops embeddable web components for checkout, authentication, and express checkout behind SCAYLE's Checkout as a Service, our proprietary e-commerce infrastructure licensed to online merchants. Storefronts of clients integrate these as drop-in scripts. The components handle everything customers see from entering the checkout to order confirmation: authentication, addresses, payment method selection, and order completion across multiple shops, countries, and payment providers.
  • Architecture and development of modular checkout UI components in TypeScript and React, including state management and side effects using Redux Toolkit and redux-saga.
  • Development of payment provider integrations (e.g., Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay) including widget and redirect flows.
  • Responsibility for integration contracts in a multi-tenant environment, including embeddable web components, host events, and tracking.
  • Optimization of Core Web Vitals, load times, and rendering performance to increase conversion rates and user experience.
  • Handling production issues across multiple client shops using observability tools like Datadog.
  • Translation of complex checkout requirements into scalable solutions while ensuring WCAG accessibility, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility.
  • Cross-functional collaboration with Product, UX, Backend, and QA teams in agile workflows for the delivery of one-page or multi-step checkout flows.
  • Driving engineering standards through thorough code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical refactoring initiatives.
  • Expansion of core platform capabilities (e.g., for the SCAYLE checkout ecosystem) to enable customer customizations through injectable content.
