About you

• Proven experience as a developer or similar role (we don’t believe in number of years of work experience, but we do like to see a verifiable track record!)
• Essential experience with Svelte (the entire website is built with it) or a headless CMS, like Sanity
• Working knowledge of GSAP (https : / / greensock.com / gsap / ), an animation library
• Strong experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Knowledge with SCSS, Three.js is recommended
• Experience with version control systems (eg. Git).
• Familiarity with responsive design and mobile-first development.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to produce high-quality work. You have a sense of branding and know how to keep a consistent tone of voice in development.

Punctual with deadlines (we will be re-launching our product in August 2024 and we really don’t want you up at some ungodly hour making last minute changes!)

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills. (Please communicate if things aren’t going well making your best work means being open if things aren’t quite right.)
• A bachelor's degree in computer science, graphic or user interface design, and / or marketing related field is preferred.

If you're self taught, that's okay, as long as you know good principles of efficient web design, and factor in computation efficiencies.

• You know when to ask for feedback and how to implement this.
• You’re an enthusiastic, passionate worker, brimming with creative ideas for our content.
• Compatible with scheduling in PST time-zone (realistically, it's been challenging to schedule GMT+3 to GMT+9)

This role is not meant for entry or junior roles.

This is a paid contract position and the duration of the contract will be determined by the specific project requirements.

The successful candidate will work remotely and will be expected to provide their own equipment and tools.
