Front-End Developer

ordable/ is an e-commerce enabler that allows merchants to quickly accept and fulfill customer orders.

Our Story

In 2018, a home business owner selling baked goods was on the verge of closing her business to pursue other career goals overseas. Instead, a small team came together to build a solution that allowed her to fully operate from abroad. Quickly, she began merchandising her items online through social channels, accepting orders directly on her own website, processing payments, and dispatching deliveries direct to her customers. By the end of 2018, she grew her business 20-fold, all whilst working remotely. ordable/ was born out of the technology built for business owners with a need to grow.

Front-End Developer – Shoppable Experiences

At ordable/, commerce doesn’t stop at a website. We believe every surface can be a store — a mobile app, a TV menu, a chatbot, even an AR lens. Our mission is to put merchants everywhere their customers are.

As a Front-End Developer at ordable/, you’ll build ready-to-launch, shoppable experiences that plug directly into our APIs. These aren’t just websites — they’re living templates and applications that will be commercialized and adopted by merchants across the region. Your code won’t just ship, it will scale: powering thousands of storefronts and enabling merchants to sell anywhere, instantly.

This role is for builders who think beyond screens — who see the checkout button not as a feature, but as an opportunity to redefine how buying happens.

What You’ll Do

• Build shoppable experiences that integrate with ordable/ APIs:
  • Web storefronts (React.js / Next.js)
  • Mobile apps (React Native, PWAs)
  • Special Case Experiences: TV apps & IPTV menus, Conversational commerce (chatbots, voice assistants)
  • Emerging channels (AR/VR, wearables, future interfaces)
• Develop commercial-grade templates that merchants can adopt and customize out of the box.
• Ensure every experience is fast, responsive, accessible, and multilingual (Arabic + English by default).
• Contribute to our template marketplace, where your work becomes reusable assets for entire industries (F&B, retail, services, events, bookings, and beyond).
• Collaborate with UX/UI designers to turn prototypes into beautiful, frictionless buying journeys.
• Write code that can be extended by partners, agencies, and the developer ecosystem.
• Constantly explore what’s next — be it AI-driven shopping, immersive AR stores, or commerce through new digital surfaces.

Qualifications

• 0–2 years of front-end development experience (or equivalent through demonstrable portfolio / GitHub).
• Strong skills in React.js, Next.js, and React Native.
• Experience integrating REST/GraphQL APIs into front ends.
• Comfort with CSS frameworks (Tailwind) and component-driven design.
• Strong grasp of performance optimization, responsive design, and accessibility standards.
• Experience with emerging platforms (TV apps, chatbots, AR/VR) is a plus.
• Written and spoken proficiency in English; Arabic is a plus.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you think like a builder, not just a coder.

Key Leadership Principles

At ordable/, our values drive our actions. In this role, and while all our principles are important, the ideal candidates will embody the following ordable/ principles:

1. Obsess about customers: We always want to start from the customer and work backwards. We pay attention to what competitors are doing, and obsess over our customers.
2. Raise the Bar: We always keep our standards high, and we keep raising them. We deliver high-quality products, services, processes, and we ensure that problems are fixed and they stay fixed.
3. Do, and be swift about it: Speed matters in business. We always have a tendency to take action with calculated risk. Many decisions and actions are reversible – done is better than perfect.
4. Dive Deep, be curious, and learn: We are positively skeptical, inquisitive, and always learning. We do not stop peeling back layers until we arrive at the core of problems and questions that we have.
5. Own and deliver results: We take ownership of our work, and never say “that’s not my job” – we roll up our sleeves and get it done. We deliver results and focus on the right inputs, quality, and timing.
6. Empathize, Be Just, and Earn Trust: We listen attentively, speak honestly and openly, and we always respect others. We are self-critical, we keep egos in check, and benchmark against the best.
7. Think Big and Long-Term: We think big, set ambitious goals, with far-reaching time horizons; sometimes beyond our own. We think long term and never sacrifice long-term value for short-term gains.
8. Persist and pursue relentlessly: We are persistent and relentless about pursuing our objectives. We do not fear failure, and when we do fail, we will do so gracefully, learn, and improve.
9. Disagree, then Commit & Collaborate: We respectfully challenge decisions if we disagree with them. When we reach a decision, we collaborate and follow through as a team.
10. Be open, connect, and be transparent: We prefer to be open, connected, and transparent so we can make better decisions and have greater impact on our customers.
11. Recognize talent and develop it: We look to raise the bar with every member of our growing team. Recognizing talent and developing capabilities is everyone’s duty and we actively help each other grow.
