About the position

We are looking for a Senior Front-End Web Developer who is motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming. In this role, you will be responsible for translating design wireframes into actual code that will produce visual elements of the application. You will work closely with the product designer to bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks and works. Your contributions will not only be limited to publicly faced applications but will also extend to internal back office UIs, where you will build easy-to-use interfaces for internal teams within an ever-evolving architecture. As a Senior Front-End Web Developer, you will develop new user-facing features and build reusable code and libraries for future use. You will ensure the technical feasibility of designs from both a visual and user experience standpoint, optimizing applications for maximum speed and scalability. Your role will also involve ensuring the consistency of data gathered from users and collaborating with other team members and stakeholders to create a seamless user experience. Additionally, you will be responsible for developing internal tooling UI and platforms for non-web-native team members to utilize effectively. This position requires a great understanding of the newest trends, best practices, and standards in web development, as well as experience in leading the development of medium to large-scale projects with a focus on user experience and security. You will need to have a proficient understanding of client-side scripting, security best practices, and browser performance optimizations, along with a solid knowledge of advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as AngularJS, ReactJS, or Vue. Familiarity with tools like Figma and Lokalise is a plus, as is a good understanding of SEO principles and ensuring that applications adhere to them. Excellent attention to detail and a high level of ownership mentality are essential to deliver results independently and iteratively.
