Summary
As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you will design, build, and evolve think-cell's web platform features across frontend and CMS backend. This role involves solving complex technical problems, driving architectural improvements, and collaborating with various teams to build scalable solutions for content management and publishing.
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer (Web Platform) to help shape and scale think-cell’s web platform and enable multiple teams to efficiently manage and publish content.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to work within a fixed web stack or maintain existing templates. We are looking for a web engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, making sound architectural decisions, and building systems that remain robust and maintainable as requirements evolve.
You will work across frontend and backend, improve the technical foundation of our web platform, and help us build scalable solutions that enable our teams to manage and publish content. Along the way, you will collaborate closely with stakeholders across design, marketing, product and engineering but with strong ownership over technical quality, long-term maintainability, and the overall direction of the platform.
What you will do

Solve complex technical problems in a pragmatic way, balancing speed of delivery with long-term maintainability
Drive architectural improvements that make our web ecosystem more robust, scalable, and easier to work with

Collaborate with design, marketing, product, and engineering teams to turn business requirements into well-structured technical solutions
Interface with back-end systems written in C++, ensuring reliable and efficient data exchange across system boundaries
Identify opportunities to improve developer experience, reduce complexity, and raise the overall engineering standard of the platform
Take ownership of technical tasks and help define best practices for modern web development at think-cell
What we are looking for
Strong experience building and shipping production-grade web platforms, applications, or systems
A proven ability to solve non-trivial technical problems and work confidently in complex web related codebases
Strong full stack engineering skills, with solid backend experience in PHP, Laravel, or similar technologies and a frameworks
Strong frontend fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript and modern approaches to building maintainable user interfaces
Good judgment when making architectural and technical trade-offs
A pragmatic mindset: you know when to build for flexibility and when to keep things simple
Curiosity and confidence to work with unfamiliar technologies or domains when needed
A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for code quality, maintainability, and technical outcomes
Experience collaborating across disciplines and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders in English
Nice to have
Experience with Statamic CMS
Experience with static site generation challenges
Experience with Deployment Tools such as Jenkins or similar tools
Familiarity with Tailwind, Alpine.js, or similar frontend tools
Experience improving performance-critical, SEO-relevant, or content-heavy platforms
