OUR HIRING PROCESS:
- We will review your application against our job requirements. We do not employ machine learning technologies during this phase as we believe every human deserves attention from another human. We do not think machines can evaluate your application quite like our seasoned recruiting professionals—every person is unique. We promise to give your candidacy a fair and detailed assessment.
- We may then invite you to submit a video interview for the review of the hiring manager. This video interview is often followed by a test or short project that allows us to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team.
- At this point, we will invite you to interview with our hiring manager and/or the interview team. Please note: We do not conduct interviews via text message, Telegram, etc. and we never hire anyone into our organization without having met you face-to-face (or via Zoom). You will be invited to come to a live meeting or Zoom, where you will meet our INFUSE team.
- From there on, it’s decision time! If you are still excited to join INFUSE and we like you as much, we will have a conversation about your offer. We do not make offers without giving you the opportunity to speak with us live.
INFUSE is committed to complying with applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy
We are looking for a Lead Frontend Developer (Next.js / WordPress) to take technical ownership of code quality and releases across INFUSE’s multi-site web platform. You will combine hands-on development with technical leadership, reviewing work delivered by internal teams and external vendors while improving platform performance, security and maintainability.
The platform currently runs on WordPress Multisite. At the same time, we are exploring a longer-term evolution towards a modern Next.js-based architecture. The right engineer will strengthen the current platform while helping shape and validate its future technical direction.

- Establish practical engineering standards covering code review, testing, security and CI/CD.
- Work with DevOps to improve deployment workflows, CDN caching and production reliability.
- Maintain integrations across marketing automation, analytics, tag management and cookie consent.
- Improve page speed, structured data, multilingual configuration, sitemaps and technical SEO/AEO.
- Contribute to a proof of concept and architectural decisions for a potential Next.js platform.
What you will bring:
- Solid hands-on experience with WordPress, including custom themes, plugins, ACF and PHP, with the ability to work confidently in an existing large-scale WordPress environment.
- Production experience with Next.js and TypeScript.
- Experience working with AI-assisted development workflows and AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar), including review and validation of generated code.
- A full-cycle engineering mindset spanning development, testing, infrastructure, deployment and production support.
- Practical knowledge of web security, performance optimisation and maintainable architecture.
- Experience reviewing other developers’ work and assessing vendor solutions and estimates.
- Proactive ownership: you identify risks and opportunities, propose solutions and drive improvements through delivery.
- B2 or higher English for collaboration with distributed teams.
Nice to have:
- Experience introducing or improving code review, automated testing and CI/CD practices.
- Backend development experience with Node.js or NestJS.
- Experience with multilingual marketing websites, MarTech integrations and technical SEO/AEO.
We offer:
