Our Web Development team is seeking an experienced Front-End Developer on a part-time/contract basis to augment our existing skillset by crafting robust, beautiful, usable interfaces for our various web properties.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with proven front-end web development skills; the fast-paced and cross-functional nature of the work we do in Creative Services requires that candidates be highly organized, collaborative, and flexible, with a strong sense of responsibility and ability to multi-task.

• Partner with our design team to create clean, inviting interfaces that are consistent with the style and voice of our existing web properties
• Conceptualize and develop custom React applications that integrate seamlessly with our existing WordPress ecosystem
• Proactively seek out, investigate, and research emerging technologies that can enhance the execution of our business functions
• Mentor our full-time web developers to refine and expand their front-end development skills

Job Requirements:

• Ability to communicate effectively, both out verbally and in writing
• Strong teamwork skills and collaborative, community-oriented spirit
• A positive, can-do attitude

• Proficiency in modern JavaScript tools, such as Grunt, Webpack, NPM/Yarn, Babel, ESLint, etc.
• Experience with version control concepts and tools-we use Git on GitHub and GitLab
• 3-5+ years of professional web development or software engineering experience, or demonstrable equivalent
• Ability to structure and style a web page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Comfort with at least one modern, server-side programming language-we use PHP and Go primarily

Other Qualifications:

We don't expect every applicant to have experience with everything in our stack. That being said, a significant overlap is helpful for being able to make an immediate impact in this particular role. If any of the following sound like you, we're especially excited to speak with you.

• Expertise with version control concepts and tools-we use Git on GitHub and GitLab
• Experience with type-safe, object-oriented PHP
• Proficiency with JavaScript testing tools, such as Cypress and Jest
• Experience writing documentation using Markdown
