Job description

Do you obsess over pixel-perfect UI, live and breathe Hotwire and Tailwind, and enjoy squeezing every drop of performance from Rails’ view layer? Join us and own the customer-facing side of Hellotext. You’ll shape how merchants interact with our platform and help set the visual and interaction standards for everything we build.

What you’ll do

• Design & build sleek, responsive interfaces on Ruby on Rails using Hotwire, Stimulus, and Tailwind CSS.
• Craft reusable components and design systems that keep our UI consistent and easy to extend.
• Collaborate with product, design, and backend engineers to launch new features fast.
• Optimize performance, accessibility, and cross-browser behavior.
• Write clean, maintainable code backed by solid tests and clear documentation.
• Debug & iterate quickly, balancing polish with pragmatic shipping.

What you bring

• Proven experience shipping production-grade frontends on Ruby on Rails (Hotwire, Stimulus) or a modern JS framework (Vue, React, etc.).
• Mastery of HTML5, CSS3, and modern CSS tooling (Tailwind, PostCSS, etc.).
• Solid JavaScript skills (ES6+) and a good grasp of progressive enhancement.
• Familiarity with REST or GraphQL APIs and how to consume them gracefully.
• Comfortable with Git, code reviews, and an agile, remote workflow.
• A sharp eye for detail paired with a user-centric mindset.
• Passion for staying current on UI trends, accessibility, and performance best practices.

Nice to Have

• Experience with eCommerce platforms.
• Exposure to design systems or component-driven development.
• Basic knowledge of backend Rails patterns (you’ll interface with our backend team, but deep server-side expertise isn’t required).

Our Stack

Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Stimulus, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, and GitHub.
