About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Front-End Developer who is passionate about building modern, API-driven web applications.

• Contribute to the ongoing migration from a Rails-based application to a modern tech stack.
• Stay updated with the latest front-end development trends and technologies to ensure we’re building world-class solutions.

What You Bring

• Minimum experience of 5 years as a Front-End Developer, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on API-driven applications.

• Solid understanding of web development principles, including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
• Experience with integrating front-end applications with RESTFUL API.
• Familiarity with modern development tools and workflows, such as Git, Webpack, or Vite.
• Strong front-end implementation skills through user-centric mindset and proactively make suggestions to improve user experience.
