Responsibilities

Manage and mentor a team of 2 or 3 mid- to senior level front-end developers, helping them chart their career path and provide opportunities to grow.

Lead front-end projects without much oversight, this includes delegating tasks, presenting to creative teams and sometimes clients, reviewing code, etc.

Author and contribute to a slew of proprietary implementations of the latest front-end development methodologies — custom-built for one of the world’s most widely-watched tech companies.

Lead the charge in accessibility . Be on the forefront of implementing truly accessible content at scale. And with this client, ‘at scale’ means really, really big.

Craft pixel-perfect, butter-smooth animations. Leverage the team's shared knowledge to exploit all the quirks of modern browsers for animations that perform consistently and beautifully.

Partner with teammates of different disciplines including production, design, graphics production, and QA.

Adapt to different working styles and processes, from quick turn optimization to blue sky visioning.
