With a strong bias toward frontend craft, you bring modern JavaScript frameworks to life and turn business ideas into polished, production-ready interfaces.
We're looking for engineers who pair sharp technical instincts with a consulting and solution-focused mindset, people who can sit with a client, understand the problem, and ship the right answer.
What You'll Do- Architect and build frontend systems using Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks
- Translate design systems and product requirements into reusable, scalable interfaces
- Partner with clients to shape technical direction and deliver enterprise-grade applications
- Champion engineering best practices across code quality, testing, and continuous delivery
- Collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers in a cross-functional environment
- 8+ years of experience as a software developer or in a comparable engineering role
- Strong experience building frontend architectures with Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and HTML/CSS
- Proficiency with modern JavaScript and TypeScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Angular
- Hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and equivalents)
- Experience with unit testing, TDD, and integration testing (Cypress or similar)
- Comfort with continuous delivery tooling and practices (GitHub, Travis CI, agile workflows)
- Experience designing, orchestrating, and deploying container-based solutions with Docker or Kubernetes
- Working knowledge of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
- Experience operating in a DevOps environment
- Strong written and spoken English
- Experience building interfaces with established component libraries
- Experience working in WSL2 environments
- Prior consulting experience
- You think in systems. You build for scale, automation, and long-term operability, not just the problem in front of you.
- You hold a high bar for code quality, performance, and security, and you raise it as you go.
- You bring sharp analytical instincts and sound judgment to ambiguous problems.
- You lead with a customer-first mindset and treat client relationships as partnerships worth investing in.
- You communicate clearly and influence effectively across every level of an organization.
- You thrive in fast-moving, high-performance environments where priorities shift and the work matters.
- You step into the unfamiliar willingly, and you pick up new concepts, tools, and business models quickly.
