About the role

Knak is a mission-driven company because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for error is small. To have the biggest impact on the world, we stay focused on our core mission, which is empowering marketers to be creative. That is why Knak exists. In a world where AI has made everyone a creator, Knak helps marketers turn ideas into on-brand, high-performing campaigns at scale. As an Intermediate Full Stack Developer at Knak, you will build and maintain the systems that turn Knak content into email and landing page HTML. This is a full stack role spanning the builder interface, shared content model and rendering pipeline, and the back-end services that handle platform-specific exports. You will work closely with Engineering teammates, Product Managers, Designers, QA, and DevOps to deliver reliable, well-tested features that meet user and business goals.

Who we're looking for

We are seeking professionals with specific technical qualifications and a collaborative mindset to join our team:

• 3+ years of software development experience, including hands-on experience with TypeScript and a modern JavaScript framework; Vue is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, modular, testable code with a focus on long-term maintainability.
• Experience with testing and development tooling such as Playwright, Jest, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience working with observability, monitoring, and performance considerations.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable giving and receiving constructive code review feedback.

Day-to-day

In this role, you will make implementation-level design decisions within your area, contribute to architectural discussions, and help improve the quality and maintainability of the systems you work on. Your core responsibilities include:

• Build intuitive, responsive builder interfaces using Vue 3 and TypeScript, collaborating with designers and product managers to deliver experiences that meet design and functional requirements.
• Implement and maintain the shared TypeScript content model and rendering logic that transforms content into email and landing page HTML.
• Contribute to the evolution of Knak's content architecture and rendering pipeline, working with the Content Team to keep behaviour consistent across platforms.
• Help maintain the tooling, scaffolding, documented patterns, and guardrails that allow developers and AI agents to extend Knak's content architecture consistently.
• Support platform-specific exports by contributing to the Laravel transformer pipeline and following established implementation and testing patterns.
• Investigate and resolve rendering, performance, and correctness issues using profiling, logging, and observability tools, escalating cross-system issues when appropriate.
• Apply the right mix of unit, integration, and end-to-end testing to changes within a core, high-impact area of the product.
• Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, uphold coding standards, pair with teammates, and share knowledge across the team.
• Work with Product and QA to clarify requirements, break features into well-scoped tasks, and identify edge cases, dependencies, and risks early.
• Make implementation-level design decisions independently within your area and contribute to team-wide architectural discussions and planning.
• Improve the quality and maintainability of the areas you work in through code reviews and incremental refactoring.
