Thaia
About the Company
A California-based creative agency with 20 years of history, specialized in high-end websites, mobile apps, and digital platforms for globally recognized brands like Google, Nike, Lyft. Over 300 projects delivered since 2004, with Webby Award and Awwwards recognition.
The Role
They’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer — or a full-stack developer who is genuinely frontend-first (80% frontend, 20% backend). You’ll own the frontend layer across multiple projects for brands you actually know, working closely with the Tech Lead and a production team that cares about craft.
CMS experience is non-negotiable. Animation experience (GSAP, WebGL) is a real bonus — they work on projects where that matters.
What You’ll Do
-
Build and maintain frontend experiences for enterprise-level clients using Next.js, React, and modern CSS (Sass, Tailwind)
-
Design and integrate headless CMS setups — primarily Craft CMS — structuring content types and connecting them cleanly to the frontend via GraphQL
-
Work across multiple simultaneous projects, coordinating with PMs, designers, and the Tech Lead
-
Contribute light backend work on a PHP-based stack when needed
-
Ship production code that real users interact with — for brands like Google, Nike, ESPN, and others
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong production experience with React and Next.js — you’ve shipped sites, not just built demos
-
Solid CSS skills: vanilla CSS, Sass, and Tailwind — you care about how things look and perform
-
Hands-on experience with at least one headless CMS (Craft CMS preferred; Sanity, Statamic, or headless WordPress also considered)
-
Comfort with GraphQL for consuming content and APIs
-
Enough PHP/Laravel familiarity to contribute on the backend when needed
-
Experience working in an agency or multi-project environment — you know how to prioritize and communicate across teams
-
A portfolio that shows your frontend work — visual quality matters here
Nice to Have
-
Animation experience: GSAP, WebGL, or similar
-
Experience with Craft CMS specifically
The Stack
Next.js · React · CSS · Sass · Tailwind CSS · PHP · GraphQL · Craft CMS (and other headless CMS platforms)
If you’ve spent years making the frontend layer the part users actually feel, this is the team for it.
