Requirements
  • Several years of production frontend development experience, with strong depth in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
  • Experience with a modern component-based framework, ideally React; strong Vue, Angular, or Svelte experience with willingness to transition to React is also acceptable.
  • Practical experience with jQuery, direct DOM manipulation, Bootstrap-era CSS, and server-rendered templates.
  • Enough PHP knowledge to read PHP templates and locate where the interface is generated, or the willingness to acquire that knowledge quickly.
  • Strong understanding of CSS specificity, the cascade, layout, and conflicts between different stylesheet eras.
  • Working knowledge of web accessibility, including keyboard navigation and correct ARIA implementation.
  • Knowledge of bilingual development for interfaces delivered simultaneously in French and English.
  • Git and command-line proficiency on Linux.
  • WordPress or a comparable content management system, ideally including custom plugin or theme development.
  • Understanding of web hosting and domain-name operations.
  • Thoughtful use of artificial intelligence in daily work.
  • Autonomy, reliability, and attention to the end-user experience.
  • Fluency in French and English, spoken and written.
  • Successful completion of a security background check.
Responsibilities
  • Develop responsive, bilingual, accessible, and tested features on the React platform.
  • Maintain and evolve existing interfaces built with jQuery and PHP templates, including areas where the React application is embedded.
  • Turn design mockups into functional interfaces and identify when a mockup will not work with real data or a second language.
  • Create reusable components using the company’s internally maintained component system.
  • Consume internal APIs and identify responses whose structure unnecessarily complicates frontend work.
  • Test and debug across browsers, screen sizes, and both host applications.
  • Integrate artificial-intelligence tools into daily work and help the team use them more effectively.
Desired Qualifications
  • Visual design sense and comfort working from design files.
  • Basic search engine optimization principles.
  • Experience with a component system or design system.
  • Testing experience, particularly with Vitest and React Testing Library.
