Skills
Location: UK, Ideally London or Manchester
Company: SB Media Group (SupercarBlondie.com and SBXcars.com)
We are looking for a Lead Web Developer to spearhead the next generation of the Supercar Blondie digital experience. We are moving toward a Decoupled (Headless) Architecture, separating our WordPress content engine from a high-performance frontend.
As the Lead Developer, you will bridge the gap between our rich media content and a cutting-edge user experience. You will be responsible for building a site that is as fast, sleek, and high-performance as the supercars we feature, ensuring that global audiences get an instant, premium experience on any device.
Headless Architecture: Architect and maintain a decoupled environment using WordPress (REST API/GraphQL) as the backend and React/Next.js as the frontend.
Performance Engineering: Optimize for "Core Web Vitals" to ensure the site remains at the top of Google Search rankings and loads instantly for viral traffic.
Scalability: Work with modern deployment platforms (like Vercel, Netlify, or AWS) to manage high-concurrency events during major car launches.
Interactive UI: Build custom, high-end interactive components (interactive car galleries, auction timers, etc.) using modern JavaScript frameworks.
Security & API Integrity: Ensure secure data flow between the WordPress CMS and the frontend, implementing robust caching strategies.
Team Leadership: Guide the transition from traditional WordPress themes to a modern JavaScript-based stack, mentoring junior developers along the way.
Expert-level knowledge of React.js and Next.js (or similar frameworks like Gatsby/Nuxt).
WordPress Expertise: Deep understanding of WordPress as a headless CMS, including custom post types, WPGraphQL, or the REST API.
Modern CSS: Proficiency in Tailwind CSS, Styled Components, or Framer Motion for high-end animations.
State Management: Experience with Redux, Context API, or SWR/React Query for data fetching.
DevOps & Deployment: Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Edge Functions, and CDN optimization (Cloudflare).
Backend Knowledge: Solid understanding of PHP (for WordPress customization) and Node.js.
You have a portfolio of high-traffic, visually stunning websites.
You understand that for a media brand, SEO and Speed are everything.
You are excited by the challenge of "breaking" traditional WordPress to build something faster and more flexible.
