Responsibilities

• Building and maintaining multiple websites from the front end up
• Turning designs into solid, responsive HTML/CSS
• Writing JavaScript that does something useful, not just looks clever
• Working with modern JS frameworks (e.g. Vue, React, or Angular)
• Integrating APIs and handling async behaviour properly
• Using version control properly
• Testing your work and caring when things break
• Working closely with developers who expect you to pull your weight

Qualifications

• Takes pride in clean, well‑structured front end code

• Manages their own time without being chased
• Notices small details and fixes them before being asked
• Wants to improve fast by working on real projects, not theory
