Okendo is hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to build the customer marketing platform that 16,000+ Shopify brands use to turn one-time shoppers into repeat customers. You'll work across our Vue, Angular, and React codebases, from the embeddable widgets shoppers see on storefronts to the merchant admin tools brands use every day, on a fully remote team, using TypeScript end-to-end on a modern AWS serverless architecture.
About Okendo
We believe happy customers make the best marketers.
That’s why we built Okendo – the customer marketing platform that creates stronger connections between consumers and the brands they love.
Using Okendo, Shopify brands can grow faster and more efficiently by cultivating brand advocacy and maximizing lifetime value.
Our unified platform and unique suite of products for Reviews, Referrals, Quizzes, Loyalty, and Surveys is trusted by 16,000+ Shopify brands to turn one time shoppers into revenue-driving Superfans.
Position Summary
What You'll Do:
- Build and ship frontend features across three distinct surfaces: Vue-based embeddable widgets and shopper-facing components, Angular-based merchant admin tools, and React-based Shopify integrations
- Design, develop, and implement software solutions in close collaboration with product, design, and backend engineering
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable TypeScript, and hold your own code and your team's to a high standard
- Break down ambiguous, complex problems into shippable, well-scoped tasks, then estimate, plan, and deliver against them
- Take ownership of features end to end: design, build, test, deploy, and monitor in production
- Participate in system design discussions and contribute to how we evolve our frontend architecture as the platform scales
- Mentor other engineers, review code thoughtfully, and help raise the technical bar across the team
- Collaborate with backend engineers working across our serverless AWS stack to design clean, performant APIs and data flows
What you'll need
Our stack- 5+ years of professional experience building production frontend applications (Software Engineer or equivalent)
- Strong hands-on experience with at least one modern component framework (Vue, Angular, or React) and the ability to ramp quickly across the other two
- Deep proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript
- A track record of shipping high-quality, tested, maintainable frontend code in a team environment
- Comfort working across a full serverless stack (APIs, event-driven services, cloud infrastructure) even if your primary focus is frontend
- Strong written and verbal communication: you'll work async with a fully distributed, global team
- The ability to work independently, make sound technical decisions with appropriate guidance, and know when to ask for help
Nice to have
- Experience with AWS serverless services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudFront, S3, SQS/SNS)
- Experience building embeddable widgets or SDKs that run on third-party sites (e.g., Shopify storefronts)

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
