Front-End Designer & Developer

Promega•Madison, WI

About The Position

Promega is looking for a Front-End Designer & Developer who thrives at the intersection of craft and engineering. You'll shape the digital experiences researchers interact with every day — translating brand intent into intuitive, accessible, beautifully built interfaces across promega.com and our broader network of affiliated sites. This isn't a role for someone who only wants to build, or someone who only wants to design. The ideal candidate moves naturally between both, comfortable in Figma and equally comfortable pushing pixel-perfect, production-ready code. You'll be a critical bridge between our brand and design team and front-end engineering, helping to steward and evolve Promega's front-end design solutions as our web platform grows. You'll be joining a team that's actively investing in AI-powered web capabilities. If you're curious about what modern web development looks like when AI is part of the workflow, not a replacement for skill, this is that team. Apply today and include a portfolio link. We want to see both the design thinking and the code behind it.
