Open 18d

Summary

Builds and maintains user interfaces for MacPaw’s software products using modern front-end technologies.

We're looking for a Junior Front-End Engineer to join the web team at MacPaw — the company behind CleanMyMac, Setapp, ClearVPN, and a growing ecosystem of products used by millions of people worldwide.

The team builds and maintains the digital layer that connects MacPaw's products with the world — marketing pages, landing experiments, payment flows, and the underlying infrastructure that keeps it all running.

As a Junior Front-End Engineer, you'll work across a diverse set of web projects from day one. You'll build new pages, support existing ones, help migrate legacy assets to a modern stack, and contribute to internal automations that make the whole team faster.

If you're excited to grow your front-end skills while shipping work that reaches real users across MacPaw's product ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you.

In this role, you will:

  • Build and launch new marketing pages and web assets using SSG and Payload CMS.

  • Maintain and improve 8+ active web projects, including working with some legacy components built on Laravel with Blade templates.

  • Help migrate existing web assets from older tools to the team's unified + Payload architecture.

  • Contribute to internal workflow automations that eliminate repetitive manual work and speed up development.

  • Set up, launch, and monitor A/B tests to optimize user funnels and web performance.

  • Work with payment gateway integrations to support seamless checkout experiences.

Skills you'll need to bring:

  • At least 1.5 years of commercial front-end development experience.

  • Solid understanding of or practical experience with React-based frameworks ( is our destination stack).

  • Strong knowledge of JavaScript (ES6+) and modern web development principles.

  • Proficiency in semantic HTML5, CSS3, and responsive/adaptive web design.

  • Good understanding of RESTful API concepts and how frontend-to-server communication works.

  • Essential version control skills: commits, branches, and pull requests in Git.

  • Experience with modern build tools (Vite, Webpack) and package managers (pnpm, npm).

  • At least an Intermediate level of English language.

As a plus:

  • Basic knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, or initial attempts to configure them.

  • Familiarity with Cloudflare.

  • Entry-level understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure.

  • A genuine interest in AI tools — experimenting with them, learning fast, and bringing fresh AI-driven approaches into everyday development work.
