Front End Developer; Remote at Lateral Group

What You’ll Do

• Craft delightful digital experiences:
  Design, implement, and maintain front‑end features using React and modern JavaScript/Type Script. Create reusable UI components and craft polished, responsive interfaces with a focus on quality.
• Collaborate & communicate:
  Work closely with designers, back‑end developers, and product managers in an asynchronous workflow. Regularly communicate with clients to clarify requirements, demo features, and ensure we’re building the right thing.
• Optimize, iterate & improve:
  Participate in brainstorming and technical discussions. Ensure our apps are fast, accessible, and reliable. Profile and improve page load times, refine animations, and tackle browser‑specific quirks so every user gets a smooth experience. When issues arise, debug and fix them, striving for robust solutions that scale and write tests to prevent regressions.
• Learn:
  Stay curious and keep up with industry trends, frameworks, and standards. Be encouraged to continuously learn and bring in knowledge, evaluating new technologies thoughtfully to see if they can enhance our product or developer experience (avoid “innovation for innovation’s sake”). Help shape a culture of excellence, ownership, and growth on the team.

• Within the first two weeks:
  Set up development environment, push first meaningful contribution, become familiar with async workflows, and participate in initial client sync.
• Within the first three months:
  Author or contribute to architectural decisions and design documents, establish trust with clients, and improve performance, code structure, or tooling.
• After three months:
  Initiate broader improvement across projects, frequently unblock teammates, elevate code quality, proactively identify risks, and balance speed and quality.

• 5+ years of professional front‑end development experience building digital applications.
• Experience with modern JavaScript libraries and tooling (React, npm, webpack, etc.) and fluency in CSS.
• Proven ability to craft, polish, delight, and sweat the details—attention to design, UX, accessibility, and responsive layout.
• Quality and reliability mindset: diligent testing & documentation, proactive debugging.
• Performance and browser compatibility commitment: make web app fast, handle quirks across environments.
• Self‑driven and accountable: comfortable managing own projects and time without heavy oversight; proactive problem solver.
• Great communication and empathy: work closely with others, explain technical concepts, listen to alternate viewpoints, and collaborate constructively.
• Remote work skills: self‑motivated and disciplined, able to collaborate asynchronously across time zones.

• Demonstrating craft and design/delight sensibility.
