Senior Frontend Developer - 12 month FTC

DEPT®•Vancouver, BC

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients. We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to join a team delivering high-profile digital experiences for one of the biggest technology brands in the world. This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering. We’re looking for someone who can take a static design and turn it into a polished, high-performance interactive experience with exceptional attention to motion, responsiveness, and detail. You’ll work closely with designers and engineers to build robust, reusable frontend components and experiences using Angular, TypeScript, and modern CSS. Alongside strong technical capability, this role requires someone with a genuine appreciation for UX, UI, animation, and craft — someone who cares as much about how an experience feels as how it is built. You’ll operate within a structured development environment with established patterns, review processes, and quality standards. The ideal candidate is proactive, highly detail-oriented, comfortable challenging inconsistencies, and confident bridging the gap between design intent and technical implementation.

Requirements

Strong experience with Angular and TypeScript
Advanced knowledge of modern CSS and component-based frontend development
Strong understanding of responsive development and scalable UI architecture
Experience building modular, reusable frontend components and systems
Experience translating complex UI designs into polished implementations

Experience creating scripted animations and fluid interactive experiences
Ability to balance creative ambition with technical feasibility and performance
Comfortable collaborating closely with design teams and contributing to UX discussions
High attention to detail in both visual implementation and code quality
Experience working within structured engineering environments and established development patterns
Comfortable with code review workflows, automated checks, linting, and validation pipelines
Ability to proactively identify issues, propose improvements, and drive solutions forward
Comfortable operating between design and engineering teams
Clear and direct communicator with a collaborative mindset
Strong portfolio demonstrating hands-on contribution to high-quality interactive frontend experiences
Clear examples of polished UI implementation, animation, and component-driven development
Demonstrated ownership of implemented features, systems, or frontend experiences
