Front-End Developer

We're thankful to have an incredible front-end development team. But, while we're not currently searching for a front-end developer, we'd still love to get to know you.

Here’s what we look for: someone who can take user-centered web design and make it real through solid front-end development skills. We need someone who understands accessibility and performance — who can handle the HTML/CSS to make accessible and responsive design a reality.

This is a development-forward, but design-minded position.

Essentials.

• Work with design to build design systems to act as a toolbox for the design process, leaning more toward blocks and elements than full-page templates
• Extend existing design systems for support clients and ongoing sites.
• Work seamlessly with our back-end developers and the rest of the development team on projects of all sizes & scopes.
• Translate design mockups into flexible HTML and CSS to be used in the completed project.
• Maintain current skills and industry best-practices
• Be accountable for tasks, track time, and keep team members in the loop
• Strong oral and written communication skills with both teams and clients.

Bonus Points

• Has a strong eye for design and a desire to create user-centered, content-driven websites.
• Experienced in grid systems/CSS frameworks (Bootstrap is our preference)
• Experienced in CSS pre-processing (SASS is our preference)
• Some familiarity with javascript/jQuery 
• An understanding of how design and front-end fits within a content management system

Experience with agile methodologies is a plus, and we like to see experience working within a team and all the technologies that entails — from development technologies like source control and continuous integration to communication technologies like Slack and Figma. Familiarity with building accessible websites is also a big plus.
