Front End Engineer

Menlo Park, California, U.S.

Full-Time

TLDR

Collaborate with senior front-end developers to craft pixel-perfect HTML/CSS for new features on a high-traffic fundraising site, emphasizing cross-browser accuracy and design integrity.

The Job...

You’ll work with our senior front-end developer to build the HTML and CSS for new features on our website, along with maintaining and updating the current website. The front end developers work closely with the visual designers to execute precise layouts, so attention to detail in design is necessary.

While your markup is being brought to life by the backend engineers, you’ll be involved with testing features across all browsers and devices. Staying organized is essential for such a large website, and there is time at the end of each project to refactor and clean up code.
