Position Summary:
We're looking for a talented and creatively driven Frontend Developer to join our team - someone who blends clean code with aesthetic sensibility and loves creating visually compelling, high-performing websites that elevate the brand experience.
In this role, you will partner closely with our Marketing Department, owning the UI/UX of our customer-facing digital platforms, our WordPress website, designing, developing, and deploying AI-powered applications across web, iOS, and Android platforms. You’ll also have opportunities to contribute to backend functionality through our PHP-based CodeIgniter system when needed. If you enjoy marrying design with development, care about site performance and user journeys, and thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, we want to meet you.
What You’ll Do:
- Take ownership of the frontend development of our WordPress website, collaborating with designers and marketers to implement engaging, conversion-optimized pages.
- Design and build AI-powered applications, including web portals and mobile apps, that interact with real-time health and safety data.
- Develop cross-platform or native applications for iOS and Android (React Native, Swift, Kotlin, or Flutter).
- Integrate BLE and LTE-enabled device communication into mobile applications.
- Translate creative briefs and mockups into responsive, modern, accessible web experiences.
- Work with backend developers to connect UI elements with PHP/CodeIgniter APIs or legacy systems when necessary.
- Optimize website performance for speed and SEO using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse.
- Implement marketing tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and others.
- Build intelligent user interfaces that adapt based on user behavior, device signals, or predictive insights.
- Help A/B test designs, optimize UX flows, and improve customer journeys based on behavioral data.
- Stay up to date with design trends, UX best practices, and emerging technologies.
What You’ll Bring:
- 3+ years of professional experience in frontend development or UI/UX roles.
- Strong hands-on experience with React.js and related frameworks for building scalable, responsive, and high-performance web and mobile applications.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure or AWS) for deploying, scaling, and managing AI-powered web and mobile applications.
- Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3 (SASS/SCSS), JavaScript (vanilla and jQuery).
- Experience developing and customizing WordPress themes and plugins.
- Familiarity with PHP and the ability to navigate backend frameworks like CodeIgniter.
- Strong understanding of responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility.
- Experience with performance and SEO optimization tools (e.g., Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix, Core Web Vitals).
- A strong eye for design and detail as this is a developer role, but one rooted in aesthetics and user experience.
- Comfort with modern AI-powered development environments such as Replit, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools that accelerate development workflows.
- Ability to leverage AI-driven coding assistants or low-code/no-code platforms to rapidly prototype and iterate on frontend features.
- Understanding of prompt engineering and AI-assisted debugging to streamline problem-solving and refactor legacy code efficiently.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset. You’ll be working closely with Marketing, not just Engineering.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
- Familiarity with A/B testing tools and CRO methodologies.
