Who you are

We want a Web Developer who loves what they do. You are passionate about web standards and keep abreast of new developments in our industry. You always look for opportunities to improve your skills. You like to show off what you're working on and also learn from others. You have strong attention to detail and value the design of a product as much as you value the code. You have strong communication skills and maybe even blog once in a while. You're aware of the latest CSS techniques but also know the limitations that developing for a broad audience can bring — actually, you embrace the challenge.

In this team

• You'll create high fidelity websites and web apps using the latest HTML, CSS (SCSS), and JavaScript (React and TypeScript)
• You'll help maintain existing projects, including updating content and adding new pages
• You'll manage incoming requests for updates and liaise with or delegate to others as necessary
• You'll ensure the standard of our output remains high and consistent across our product portfolio
• You'll ensure new pages are published according to specifications and in compliance with our style guide
• You'll participate in and contribute to our living style guide, Vanilla Framework
• Work closely with UX and visual designers to implement exemplary user experiences

What we offer

• An opportunity to help shape a company and products with a strong influence in the open source community
• An inclusive work environment with a team of friendly people with diverse skills, from UX designers to copywriters
• Learning and development opportunities
• Annual compensation review
• Recognition rewards
• Annual leave
• Priority Pass for travel

We are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. Diversity of experience, perspectives, and backgrounds creates a better work environment and better products. Whatever your identity, we will give your application fair consideration.
