We are looking for an enthusiastic Front-End Developer to work on our small team. This person will work on our own software, but also a brand-new software we are building from scratch.
This is a hands-on coding position which involves maintaining templates and creating from scratch. The successful candidate will also have to review our current front-end architecture and improve it while working on new tasks. We are looking for someone who is comfortable taking design mock-ups and replicating them with code. You will be working closely with our team; especially design staff and developers.
Responsibilities:
● Develop new user-facing layouts and features
● Build reusable code and libraries for future use
● Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs
● Optimize code for maximum speed and scalability
● Collaborate with back-end developers and web designers to improve usability
You will need:
● Proven work experience as a Front-end developer
● Strong experience on HTML5, CSS3, SASS, JavaScript and JQuery
● Experience working with Bootstrap and responsive web design
● Experience with Webpack and NPM/Yarn
● Experience with browser testing and debugging
● In-depth understanding of the entire web development process
● Version control/Git knowledge
● Excellent analytical and multitasking skills
At this moment our current architecture is monolith built with the help of Ruby on Rails framework and webpack as the javascript preprocessor. In the future, we hope to migrate our front-end part to the separate repository with the light-weight framework, such as Vue.js. It would be great if you have experience working with REST API and Vue.js framework itself as well, but this is not essential.
