Your new company
I'm working with a market-leading manufacturing business within their niche that is investing heavily in its digital capability as part of a wider transformation programme.
This is a company with a strong engineering heritage, now modernising how it engages customers through technology. Their core platform supports both B2B and B2C Ecommerce, making it a genuinely complex environment with real scale and variety in user journeys.
You'll be joining at a point where they are bringing more capability in-house from third-party providers, giving you the opportunity to take ownership, influence technical direction and leave a visible mark on how their frontend estate evolves.
Your new role
This role is centred around building and owning the core Ecommerce website experience within a modern, headless architecture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be developing in React, working with GraphQL APIs and integrating with Hygraph CMS, helping to deliver a fast, scalable and flexible frontend that supports a complex ecommerce environment.
Beyond the tech, this role has strong visibility. You'll engage with internal stakeholders across the business, helping translate requirements into technical solutions. It's not just about building components. It's about shaping how the platform evolves.
With the move away from agencies, you'll play a key role in establishing in-house capability. It's a genuine opportunity to take ownership and influence how things are done moving forward.
What you'll need to succeed
- Strong React/TypeScript development experience (2+ years)
- Experience with or exposure to headless CMS platforms such as Hygraph
- Good understanding of GraphQL and modern data fetching approaches
- Understanding of PWA concepts and frontend performance optimisation
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage non-technical stakeholders
- Experience building B2B and B2C e-commerce websites is essential, interacting with a Magento back end ideally.
- AWS Cloud experience
