Job description

REF, digital agency of Groupe LG2, is looking for a front-end developer to propel its projects to new technological heights.

At REF, we don't just make websites. We build high-performance digital ecosystems for top brands. We are looking for a front-end master who sees code as a craft and performance as an obsession. If for you, the web is all about Headless, GraphQL, and Nuxt, you are in the right place.

Responsibilities

  • Architecture and Clean Code: Design robust, modular, and documented front-end architectures. We want code that your peers will enjoy reading.

  • Performance and Core Web Vitals: Optimize every millisecond. You are the guardian of fluidity, from First Contentful Paint to Time to Interactive.

  • Product Collaboration: Work hand in hand with our designers to transform complex creative visions into seamless interfaces, without ever sacrificing accessibility (WCAG).

  • Monitoring and Mentoring: Actively participate in the evolution of our technical stack. At REF, we learn as a team and test new tech as soon as it makes sense.


Required Technical Skills

  • Nuxt/Vue ecosystem: This is your preferred environment. You master component lifecycle, state management (Pinia), and the subtleties of the latest versions.

  • Rendering Mastery: Expert in rendering strategies, you know exactly when to deploy SSR for SEO, SSG for pure speed, or CSR for interactivity. Performance (Core Web Vitals) is your success metric.

  • Headless Architecture and Data: You are totally comfortable with next-gen CMS (Storyblok, DatoCMS) and know how to structure flexible and scalable data schemas.

  • GraphQL: You don't just consume APIs; you know how to fetch, fragment, and structure your data via GraphQL with surgical precision.

  • Modern Ops: You are comfortable with modern deployment workflows on Vercel, Netlify, or AWS, including Edge Functions and CI/CD optimizations.

Desired Qualities

  • Over 3 years of experience in front-end development, with a major focus on Vue/Nuxt in a professional environment.

  • Strong analytical mindset. Understands the business challenges behind each line of code.

  • Insatiable curiosity about the evolution of the ecosystem (Vite, Nitro, etc.).

  • Ability to simplify complex technical choices for creative teams or clients.

Why REF?

  • A technological playground without ancient technical debt.

  • National and international large-scale projects.

  • An agency culture where technical innovation is as valued as creative ideas.

  • Total flexibility (hybrid) and an environment focused on growth.
