Descripción del empleo

Headquarters: Remote URL: https://designfiles.co

At DesignFiles, we’re looking for a Front-End Rails Developer with strong JavaScript and UI skills to help shape and improve the creative tools at the heart of our platform.

About Us:

At DesignFiles, we’re building the go-to platform for interior designers to manage every part of their business—from concept to completion. More than 5,500 customers already rely on our tools, and our remote team of 30+ is growing. If you care about building great products that solve real problems, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do:

• Help guide the evolution of our Design/Presentation Editor into a modern, Canva-style experience that supports moodboards, room mock-ups, client presentations, reusable templates, and more.
• Build intuitive, high-performance UI components for core editing interactions: drag-and-drop, layering, resizing, grouping, alignment, snapping, canvas navigation, and on-canvas text/image editing.
• Collaborate closely with product and design to translate complex user needs into seamless creative workflows.
• Shape the architecture and structure of our editor so it’s fast, scalable, and easy to maintain as it grows.
• Contribute to a high-quality, design-forward experience that feels just as good as tools like Canva or Figma — but purpose-built for interior designers.
• Participate in team rituals like daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong vanilla JavaScript skills, including DOM/event handling, canvas or SVG rendering, and performance optimization.
• Experience building or contributing to visual editors, creative tools, or browser-based design software is a strong plus.
• Deep understanding of CSS, with hands-on experience using Tailwind or a similar utility-first framework.
• Proficient with Stimulus.js, Turbo, Hotwire, ViewComponents, and the modern Rails front-end stack.
• 3+ years of hands-on Ruby on Rails development experience.
• Takes full ownership of features from concept to deployment—driving high-quality, scalable implementations.
• Fluent English and clear, professional communication skills.

This is a full-time, 40-hour/week remote contract role. We’re specifically seeking candidates (not agencies) based within ±2 hours of Central European Time (CET).

If you’ve built or contributed to browser-based editors or creative tools—and care about crafting fast, intuitive, design-friendly experiences—we’d love to talk.
