Fueled is a leading digital strategy, design, and engineering agency. We are a 300+ person team that has designed and built hundreds of digital products and experiences for brands like Google, Apple, The New York Times, ESPN, Victoria’s Secret, MGM Resorts, Albertsons, and CLEAR. As a Contract Senior Front-End Engineer at Fueled, your mission is to architect the user-facing foundation of our digital products, transforming complex design visions into fast, accessible, and elegant experiences. You will bridge creative vision and technical execution across WordPress block themes and Next.js/React applications, demonstrating expertise in both custom CSS craftsmanship and Tailwind-based implementations depending on project requirements. Your versatility between technical environments, strategic integration of AI tools in your workflow, and commitment to performance and accessibility will directly shape how millions of users interact with our clients' brands. Intentionally remote, our team thrives in a culture that values flexibility, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. Together, we’re shaping the future of digital experiences.

What you will do

• Architect and build large-scale, modular front-end products that set new standards for performance, accessibility, and maintainability while bringing ambitious art direction to life.
• Elevate the team's front-end craft through insightful code reviews and by establishing patterns for highly componentized systems that others can follow.
• Transform complex design visions into elegant, functional experiences that balance aesthetic refinement with technical excellence across all browsers and devices.
• Serve as a bridge between creative vision and technical reality, confidently presenting solutions to clients and team members that move projects forward.

Your code will directly impact millions of users through finely crafted websites and tools that make the web more beautiful, functional, and accessible.

By the 60-day mark, you'll demonstrate mastery of Fueled engineering standards, proactively handling QA feedback, and taking ownership of ticket communication while leading a small project or feature implementation.

By the 3-month mark, your component architecture and code review contributions will have positively influenced the quality and consistency of the team's front-end output.

You will have identified and presented a technical pattern or process that enhances our approach to building maintainable front-end systems, potentially improving workflows across multiple projects.

Through client-facing engagements, your technical insights will help shape creative and business outcomes, leaving behind work that exemplifies front-end excellence at Fueled beyond your contract term.
