Description:

We’re looking for a Junior Frontend Developer to help us build modern, responsive web applications that engage and delight users. You’ll work with our development team to build beautiful, responsive web pages using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You’ll collaborate with designers to ensure that layouts, colors, and fonts are consistent with the brand identity. You’ll develop responsive, mobile-friendly web pages that provide a seamless experience across various devices and screen sizes. You’ll gain hands-on experience with frontend frameworks like React, Vue. You’ll gain experience working with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue. You’ll collaborate with the backend team to integrate APIs and ensure seamless functionality between the frontend and backend. You’ll help troubleshoot and fix bugs, ensuring a smooth and flawless user experience. You’ll collaborate with backend developers to integrate APIs and improve the overall functionality of our web applications.

Basic Qualifications:

• Treat every small component like it matters—because great UIs are built one detail at a time.
• Take initiative to research new tools, UI trends, and performance improvements that can benefit the project.
• Fix bugs, update components, and refactor legacy code while learning best practices for performance and maintainability.
• Explore performance tools like Lighthouse or Web Vitals to understand what makes a site fast and efficient.
• Use Git for version control—committing cleanly, branching properly, and writing clear commit messages.

Preferred:

• Can follow Figma or design mockups and translate them into pixel-accurate code.
• Can work with simple animations or transitions to improve UX.
• Background or interest in computer science, web development, or UI/UX design.
• Proficient in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the ability to build responsive interfaces.
• Pays attention to layout, spacing, and mobile responsiveness.

Benefits:

• Clear task scopes, regular check-ins, and no unrealistic expectations — we know what “junior” means.
• We pair you with a mentor who gives feedback, not just GitHub comments.
• You’ll push code from day one — not just sit in Jira limbo or fix typo tickets.
• If you don’t know something, you just ask — and someone actually helps.
• Your code will go live. Your skills will grow. And your confidence will too.

You’ll be learning best practices in frontend development, including code versioning with Git and collaborative workflows. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about backend development, collaborating with backend developers to integrate frontend with server-side logic. You’ll be exposed to backend technologies, assisting in API integration and developing a better understanding of full-stack development. You’ll continuously improve your knowledge of frontend technologies, keeping up with industry trends and advancements. You’ll use version control tools like Git to manage your code and collaborate effectively with other team members. You’ll be encouraged to bring your own ideas and solutions to development challenges, fostering innovation and creativity. You’ll have the chance to expand your knowledge of frontend technologies, gaining exposure to both frontend and backend development. This is a great opportunity to start your career as a frontend developer, learn new skills, and grow within a dynamic tech company. If you’re passionate about web development, eager to learn new technologies, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we want you on our team.
