Front-end Developer

Thanks for taking a look at our job ad! We don’t want to waste your time, so let’s dive in. Our WHYFOR team is looking for a part-time developer with a keen eye for design. As our resident front-end developer, you’ll be responsible for ensuring the alignment of web design and user experience requirements, optimizing web pages for maximum efficiency, and maintaining brand consistency across all web pages. And as you probably know, the digital marketing world always throws new and exciting work our way, so there will be plenty of opportunities to roll up your sleeves and join a host of other rewarding projects for our clients.

You’ll need to know the ins-and-outs of working with back-end developers, graphic designers, UX specialists, CRO strategists and content creators/strategists to ensure all elements of web creation are consistent. This requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills (especially since most of our interactions are still Zoom/web-based).
