Full-Stack Engineer (Headless Commerce)

About the role

Plaud is seeking an engineer to help migrate our commerce platform to a headless architecture. This role owns the development of new page templates and the integration of third-party services within the Global Brand Center. You will collaborate daily with a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to refine implementation details and ensure architectural consistency. The position requires fluent use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot to maximize development efficiency on every task. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards in test coverage, WCAG AA accessibility, and Core Web Vitals across all changes. The role involves close coordination with marketing and operations to enable rapid content updates through CMS-driven workflows. You will own the end-to-end delivery of features from initial development through post-cutover monitoring and incident response. This position is critical in driving the transition to a scalable, headless commerce ecosystem.
