Requirements

What you’ll need

3–5 years of experience in web development, with hands-on professional experience in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly Next.js (or comparable React-based frameworks).
Solid proficiency in Next.js, with working familiarity of App Router, rendering strategies (SSG, ISR, SSR), and Vercel deployment.
Experience with headless CMS platforms, ideally Sanity CMS — including working with schemas, GROQ queries, and structured content.
Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, with a solid understanding of the DOM, accessibility, and browser rendering.
Proven ability to build multi-platform components (mobile and web) that are cross-browser compatible and responsive across device sizes.
Experience building accessible (WCAG), performant (Core Web Vitals), and localization-ready web experiences.
Familiarity with integrating third-party APIs and services into a Next.js stack, including analytics, tracking, and marketing tools.
Comfortable with Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling, and experienced working within a component-based design system.
Comfortable with modern developer tooling: TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and component-based development.
Openness to and experience with AI-assisted development workflows — using tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar to improve efficiency and code quality, not just as novelty.
A collaborative working style with strong communication skills — someone who engages actively, takes direction well, and contributes their perspective as part of a team.
Good problem-solving instincts and attention to detail.
Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.
Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
