About Miva
Since 1996, Miva has helped online sellers run their stores end to end, with merchants on our platform doing over $100 billion in sales along the way. With the launch of Vexture, our new AI-powered search tool, we're building search that understands what shoppers mean, not just what they type.

- Troubleshoot and resolve frontend, backend, and configuration issues across the platform and connected systems

- Optimize storefront performance and conversion: Core Web Vitals, SEO (schema markup, product metadata, faceted navigation, crawlability), WCAG accessibility, and cross-browser/cross-device compatibility with a mobile-first approach

- Configure full-funnel eCommerce analytics and GA4 tracking using GTM

- Implement merchandising solutions such as cross-selling, dynamic product listings, personalization, and rule-based promotions and discounts

- Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code, and participate in code reviews, QA validation, and client acceptance testing

- Follow established deployment procedures and release schedules across multiple client environments

- Track time against approved client work and communicate status, blockers, and scope risks as they come up

- Perform other duties as assigned

You have:

- 5+ years of professional web development experience, including at least 1 year in eCommerce

- Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3 (including preprocessors like Sass/LESS), and vanilla JavaScript (ES6+), with a firm grasp of the DOM
