About the position

This position will focus on developing frontends for decoupled progressive web applications, creating custom frontend for headless eCommerce platforms and building headless websites.

You’ll be working directly from a Figma design file. We’ll expect you to have some say as the design comes together to ensure we don’t plan unrealistic or inefficient features.

All tasks are extensively documented in Jira and assigned to you for execution.

As you complete each task, it will be reviewed by the project manager and approved or reassigned for additional work.

The final product is expected to be perfectly responsive and reflect the Figma design as closely as possible. The site will need to pass all internal tests, Google’s Core Web Vitals assessments and basic accessibility standards before being released to the client for review.

You’ll be supported by a team lead, project manager, web designer, and a handful of other team members. However, the position requires a lot of initiative and you’ll be expected to hit the ground running.
