- Develop innovative UI and UX strategies that align with our business goals and elevate the user experience
- Create and maintain a rich library of digital assets — from interface design files and wireframes to interactive prototypes — using leading tools like Sketch and InVision
- Design, build, and sustain clean, reusable JavaScript, HTML, and CSS code that brings your designs to life with precision and performance
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand the technical constraints and business realities, offering valuable guidance to ensure solutions are both creative and feasible
What you need to have
- A Bachelor’s Degree with 8+ years of professional experience in software development, specializing in modern JavaScript frameworks
- 7+ years of hands-on experience developing dynamic applications using Vue, React, and Angular, backed by a strong portfolio or live examples showcasing your code
- Deep understanding of JavaScript tooling including preprocessors and transpilers like PUG, SCSS, and Babel
- Solid experience working with Node.js for backend and tooling purposes
- Proficiency with Git and experience navigating complex code versioning workflows on large teams, including branching strategies, pull requests, and thorough code reviews
- Familiarity with C#/.NET technologies is a plus but not required
- Skilled in visual design with experience in image authoring tools like Photoshop or Illustrator
- Expertise in wireframing and UI/UX design tools such as MockPlus, Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD
- A portfolio that demonstrates not only your JavaScript proficiency but also a strong grasp of SOLID design principles through plugins, node packages, or reusable components
- Expert-level knowledge of CSS, including extension languages like Less and Sass, and associated preprocessor tools
- Mastery of HTML5 and best practices for building modern, accessible web interfaces
- Experience designing interactive interfaces and building clickable prototypes using tools such as Sketch, InVision, or Axure
- Comfortable and proficient using Git version control and the command line to streamline development workflows
What we'd like you to have
- 7+ years of proven experience as a skilled front-end developer, delivering polished, high-performance user interfaces
- 7+ years of expertise as a UI/UX designer, with a keen eye for creating intuitive and engaging digital experiences
- Mastery in writing semantic, accessible HTML and CSS—including advanced techniques like Flexbox, Grid, CSS Custom Properties, CSS Functions, and Scalable CSS—all structured using the BEM naming methodology
- Extensive experience with modern JavaScript (ESNext), confidently leveraging cutting-edge features like Module Syntax and native Web Components to build modular, maintainable codebases
