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.
