Lifeblue is a full-service digital agency and Certified B Corporation that's proud to boast end-to-end web development, design, marketing, and content services, as well as a growing product arm of our business: Turnstyle (https://lifeblue.com/turnstyle/).

Our remote-first team works with incredible partners ranging from NBA teams to Heifer International and the Country Music Hall of Fame. In joining our vibrant, collaborative group, you'll become part of Lifeblue's 15-year legacy of humanizing digital experiences.


Who you are

Are you a seasoned developer that prides themselves on building beautiful, performant web applications? Do you love creating value-efficient, recyclable, purposeful front-end code?

As a Senior Front End Developer at Lifeblue, you'll do just that, translating designs into crisp code and configurations for digital experiences.

Beyond building websites that are engaging, unobtrusive, and interactive, you'll be coding and creating in a dynamic engineering environment that encourages technical curiosity.

Our ideal candidate knows the rules and best practices of the web and when to break them and blaze their own trail.

What you'll do

  • Balance your technical excellence with high emotional intelligence, showing up with a sense of empathy, awareness, and responsibility
  • Work within Lifeblue's rapid development workflow to quickly get from prototype to minimally viable
  • Work closely with designers and producers to bring the client's vision to life
  • Work in collaboration with backend developers to ensure proper implementation of website data and functionality
  • Share the knowledge you gain generously with your peers to perpetuate a culture of digital excellence
  • Build out the front end of our websites with semantic HTML, structured & purposeful CSS, and performant Javascript
  • Build and maintain modular, reusable, components utilizing DRY principles to write flexible and efficient code
  • Prioritize with producers throughout a project in order to hit key milestones and stay flexible when those priorities shift
  • Have a clear understanding of Git, the terminal, continuous deployment and integration, and other modern fundamentals
  • Create and maintain websites across a variety of Laravel, Wordpress, and legacy codebases
  • See beyond what is explicitly stated to help uncover the undiscovered and dynamic pieces of a project – we call this “the art of done”
  • Provide multiple solutions to a given problem and articulate the pros and cons of each to other team members and clients in a way that makes them smarter
  • Contribute ideas and solutions to brainstorming sessions, including sketching/wireframing, content strategy, and creation
  • Help foster a spirit of innovation and collaboration both within the production services team and across the organization
  • Identify opportunities for process, tool improvements, and be proactive in implementing them
  • Stay in the know on developments related to technologies, frameworks, and modern best practices



What you'll need

  • 8+ years of demonstrated experience building front-end UIs from scratch that are performant, accessible, and cross-browser and device compatible
  • Considerable experience with JavaScript with a solid understanding of JS patterns and practices
  • Proficiency with modern CSS frameworks and preprocessors (eg: TailwindCSS, SCSS, Foundation)
  • Familiarity with visual design programs such as Sketch, InVision, Miro, Photoshop, or Illustrator
  • Proficiency in web development tools and debugging
  • Experience with making synchronous and asynchronous web service calls
  • Proficiency in HTML5, CSS3 and vanilla Javascript
  • Experience utilizing task runners and bundlers such as Grunt, Gulp, and Webpack
  • A desire to keep learning and growing as front-end development trends and best practices evolve
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to quickly iterate and prioritize with a cross-functional team to arrive at the best solution for users
  • A love for collaborating with designers to turn design ideas into functional features
  • Comfortable and confident presentation skills to speak on chosen solutions and contrast against other potential implementations



Bonus points

  • Experience building reusable Web Components that leverage libraries such as Lit or Polymer
  • Experience with modern web and browser APIs.
  • A track record of working in a small team and iterating quickly on major product features
  • Comfortability in a remote/hybrid team environment
