Key Responsibilities

  • Write clear, maintainable JavaScript/TypeScript code under guidance, optimizing for performance and scalability
  • Participate in code reviews—both giving and receiving feedback—to continuously level up your skills
  • Troubleshoot UI bugs, cross-browser inconsistencies, and accessibility issues
  • Stay curious about emerging UI patterns, libraries, and best practices; share your findings with the team

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related) from a top-tier university
  • 1–3 years of hands-on UI development experience (including internships at well-known tech companies such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, etc.)
  • Familiarity with React (or another modern framework like Vue.js or Angular)
  • Solid grasp of JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
  • Comfortable with HTML5, CSS3 (Flexbox/Grid) and responsive design principles
  • Basic understanding of cross-browser compatibility and web accessibility standards
  • Experience using Git (branching, pull requests, merges)
  • Strong communication skills and a growth-mindset attitude
  • A portfolio or code samples that demonstrate your UI chops (school projects, open-source contributions, hackathon builds, etc.)

What we offer

  • Competitive entry-level salary and benefits package
  • Flexible hours and remote-friendly culture
  • A mentorship-driven environment where you’ll learn from senior engineers
  • Budget for conferences, courses, and tools to help you level up
  • A creative, inclusive culture that celebrates fresh ideas and initiative
