Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and accessibility (WCAG) standards. Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code, and participate in peer code reviews to ensure high standards. Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other engineers on front-end best practices. Our ideal candidate will have the following: Proven experience in a front-end development role, building and shipping complex web applications. Strong familiarity around ADA Compliance Deep expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern front-end framework such as React, Vue, or Angular. Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, and experience with CSS preprocessors like SASS/LESS. Experience consuming RESTful APIs and working with asynchronous data requests. A strong understanding of front-end build tools (e.g., Webpack, Vite) and package managers (e.g., npm, yarn). Bachelor’s degree (or higher) from an accredited college or university in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field. Familiarity with incremental, agile development processes, as well as CI/CD pipelines. A keen eye for design and a passion for creating exceptional user experiences. (Bonus) Familiarity with back-end languages like Ruby, Python, or PHP. The perks of working for us are great! You’ll get your foot in the door as our company continues to grow. We’re big believers in work-life balance and provide: Employer-paid health insurance (including dependent coverage) An employer-matched 401K retirement savings program from day 1 Paid Parental Leave Stock options Health + wellness reimbursements PTO that increases each year 16 paid holidays, including your birthday!
