• Collaborate heavily with designers and our engineering team to create complex web UI components and pages
• Research technologies and engineer complete solutions to problems
• Propose and implement performance optimizations and scaling strategies
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of our systems and processes
• Integrate AI into your daily tasks using IDEs (or plugins) such as Github Copilot and Windsurf. Leverage ChatGPT/Claude Code/Cursor to streamline your workload by brainstorming and refining ideas, and planning projects.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance.
• Join our fast-paced team as we innovate at the speed of AI. AI is integrated into our products, development processes, and IDEs. We utilize AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Sonnet, Grok, and Gemini in our daily work.

What You Need to Get the Job Done 

• 7+ years of solid experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Our designers push the envelope and we need you to be up to the task. (Seriously, don't skimp the HTML/CSS side)

• Demonstrated ability to produce super sweet user interfaces from high-resolution mocks
• Demonstrated ability to effectively build modern UI components from scratch (datepickers, interactive lists, etc.)
• Experience leading projects with multiple developers
• Solid understanding of web standards and cross-browser web development best practices, and the ability to mentor others
• Previous work samples demonstrating proficiency in building highly interactive web-based applications
• Experience with version control systems like Git.
• Familiarity with AI tools like OpenAI APIs, being in an agentic development environment, or an inclination to learn prompt engineering to drive front-end innovation and prototype smart features.
• Skilled in integrating RESTful or GraphQL APIs, and experienced in working with back-end development teams. Ability to leverage AI prompts to optimize API calls for improved data presentation and user experience is a plus.
