Frontend Developer

About the Role

Engineers who can explain GitLab CI to a skeptic and still ship by Friday tend to thrive in our Frontend Developer role in Charleston. This is a contract opportunity built for someone who wants to own outcomes, sharpen Collaboration, and grow with a tight-knit team.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep GitLab CI schemas backward-compatible so PepsiCo never forces a breaking upgrade
• Document the React system so the next mid-level engineer onboards in days, not weeks
• Pull PepsiCo's React stack out of the SC region before the migration deadline
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with React
• Catch the Tailwind CSS race conditions that only surface under Charleston peak traffic

What You'll Bring

• Enough Nginx to be dangerous, enough PHP to be trusted
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
• Demonstrated Collaboration expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
• Experience thriving in a values-led, deadline-driven setting like PepsiCo

We built PepsiCo in Charleston, SC to give technology teams the transparent tools they actually deserve. We believe great MongoDB work comes from people who feel safe to experiment and occasionally fail.

Step into $73,000 - $102,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible contract rhythm people rarely leave.

Candidate outreach for this technology opening is happening as we speak.
