Job Description:
We believe that design is life. It’s a competitive advantage and we embrace it wholeheartedly. A senior front end engineer at KyLeads is the glue that holds complex backend engineering in place for the end-user. Your role is indispensable so we’re looking for someone who considers themselves the best at what they do. A motivated individual with huge amounts of potential that looks at complex UI/UX challenges with joy.
You’re able to merge the art of design with the art of programming to create unique experiences for all stakeholders involved. We believe this requires empathy in design as well as a deep understanding of UI/UX.
Responsibilities will include translation of the UI/UX design wireframes to actual code that will produce visual elements of the application. At times, you’ll be required to design them yourself. You will work with the UI/UX designer and bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works.
We code primarily in HTML, CSS, JS (Vanilla, Jquery, Vue) and you’ll be working intimately with the Backend Engineers.
A senior front end engineer will:
We have a multidisciplinary team that works across design, front-end, and back-end. It’s what keeps us agile and competitive. We don’t want a candidate that’s too specialized in one area. The successful team member will be able to do many things well and they’re always open to learning.
Words we hate: “That’s not my job."
