Job description

Overview

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer role at Klipboard .

At Klipboard we've introduced a flexible hybrid work policy, where employees spend three days in the office and two days working from home. This approach promotes a balanced work environment that combines office collaboration with the comfort and convenience of remote work.

Klipboard provides specialist software, services and support to deliver fully integrated trading and business management solutions to companies in the distributive trade – wherever they are in the world. With a unique depth of knowledge and experience in ERP / SaaS solutions, Klipboard has a wide range of clients including wholesalers, distributors, merchants and retailers from small traders to multinational enterprises. Klipboard has offices in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya and North America. Our mission is simple : to design and deliver high performance, integrated ERP solutions that enable our distributive trade customers to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and service competitively.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the visual future of WebPro , our templated eCommerce platform used by real businesses across multiple industries.

We’re looking for a creatively minded Senior Software Engineer with strong front-end skills to lead the design and implementation of a new suite of responsive, high-performance WebPro themes. Reporting to the Engineering Manager and working closely with the Tech Lead for eCommerce and VP of Customer Experience, you’ll have broad autonomy to define creative direction and bring your designs to life—directly in code.

If you’re a developer with a strong design instinct and a passion for building clean, flexible front-end systems, this role offers the perfect blend of creativity, independence, and technical challenge.

Development Culture

  • Fast-moving and collaborative engineering group
  • Autonomy to experiment, prototype, and iterate
  • Emphasis on modern design principles and user experience
  • Hybrid and flexible working environment

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of 10+ modern, responsive WebPro themes
  • Create reusable layout systems, component structures, and theming mechanisms
  • Build responsive front-ends using Twig, Bootstrap, HTML5, and CSS / SCSS
  • Prototype directly in the browser with full creative ownership
  • Ensure all themes meet standards for accessibility, performance, and cross-browser compatibility
  • Collaborate across engineering and customer experience teams to ensure themes are practical to deploy and maintain
  • Stay informed of emerging trends in eCommerce and modern front-end design
  • Build flexible theming capabilities for customisation – colours, layouts, and content block options
  • Leave behind a robust, maintainable theme library for future use and evolution
  • Essential Skills, Knowledge and Experience

  • A strong portfolio of front-end work, especially complete themes or eCommerce storefronts
  • Expertise in Twig, Bootstrap, and responsive front-end architecture
  • Strong design sensibility – layout, spacing, colour, and rhythm matter to you
  • Comfortable designing directly in code without relying on Figma or mock-ups
  • Experience working independently and in fast-paced teams
  • Solid understanding of performance optimisation, semantic HTML, and accessibility best practices
  • Desirable

  • Experience with eCommerce platforms or theming systems
  • Awareness of visual hierarchy, microinteractions, and grid frameworks
  • Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git) and CI / CD practices
  • Why This Role Matters

    WebPro enables small and mid-sized businesses to compete online. The quality of our storefront themes shapes customer trust, user experience, and ultimately, conversion. In this role, you’ll define how those businesses present themselves to the world—by delivering clean, professional, and responsive designs that elevate the entire platform.

    It’s more than just a development role—it’s a chance to leave your mark on the future of a core product.
