Frontend Developer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 1+ year working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience building an application with a JavaScript framework
• Strong written communication skills

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the current JavaScript landscape including tooling, libraries, frameworks, and design patterns
• Experience with TypeScript, or interest in learning it
• Experience with server-side JavaScript and the server-rendering capabilities of frameworks like Astro, TanStack Start, or Next.js
• Comfort working in an application's data layer: queries, caching, loading and error states
• Familiarity with React
• Familiarity with GraphQL
• Some exposure to backend code, in any language, to have productive discussions with our backend team
• Familiarity with accessibility (considerations when writing HTML, CSS, and JS; WCAG guidelines; testing methods)
• Understanding of techniques for building robust, inclusive applications, such as progressive enhancement
• Experience working collaboratively with Git, including branching, rebasing, and resolving conflicts
• Experience with one or more content management systems, especially Craft, October, and WordPress
• Confidence working closely with client stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Implement data fetching and state management in frontend applications, and make considered decisions about what renders on the server and what renders in the browser.
• Work with the server-side capabilities of frameworks like Astro and TanStack Start (routing, server functions, and caching, and deployment).
• Maintain and extend existing client projects, including sites built on older technologies.
• Work closely with designers to implement responsive interfaces from static designs and prototypes. Review designs in tools like Figma and provide implementation feedback to designers as needed.
• Produce user interfaces in semantic HTML, modern CSS, and JavaScript that meet WCAG accessibility guidelines.

• Conduct QA and accessibility testing during the development process and before launch.
• Review teammates' code and respond thoughtfully to review of your own.
• Communicate with clients in writing and in meetings to demonstrate progress and resolve implementation questions.
• Attend regular frontend team meetings to discuss team processes, practices, and tools.
• Estimate your own work and track it against the budget as a project progresses.
• Raise concerns early when a project's scope, budget, or timeline no longer fit the work.
• Manage tasks carefully in ClickUp and provide thoughtful, accurate updates and feedback to PMs and team lead.
• Be accountable to your teammates and treat them with kindness, respect, and empathy.
