Front-end Developer
Not all jobs are created equal.
You probably know that already. And while we may be biased, we want to prove this is a great opportunity…for the right person.
✔ If you straddle the line between designer and programmer…
✔ If you want to work with a team of professionals who are passionate about their work…
✔ If you care about the details…
✔ If you’re constantly improving your skills and want to get paid for it (#bonus!)…
✔ If you’re a self-starter who delivers premier-level work repeatedly and craves variety in your work (it is the spice of life, after all)…
✔ If you want flexibility in your schedule, to use your time how it best fits you…
✔ If you love thinking outside the box to solve problems and deliver extraordinary results…
Most of all, if you want more than the typical agency gig has to offer…
…we have a position for you. Read on.

Never fall into a rut doing the same thing all the time. You’ll flex your front-end dev muscles on custom projects for clients, building a world-class SaaS product, and working with a high-caliber team.
We’re looking for a front-end developer who:

Thoroughly understands all the factors that influence a website’s user experience, speed, and technical SEO.
Understands how people use SaaS tools and can use that knowledge to help us build a “category king” product.
