Full Job Description
Q: Why did the edge server go bankrupt?

A: Because it ran out of cache.

Now that we've got your attention ... let's face it, there are a lot of ugly websites out there. We mean ... A. Lot.

BLOX Digital means to change that. At least on the new products and sites we are creating.

We are continually building new products and features and we don't want ugly. We want beautiful and functional.

That's where you come in.

We are expanding our award-winning development staff, and we are looking for top-notch front-end developers. We use a variety of front-end JavaScript libraries combined with a proprietary templating language to output features controlled by our CMS backend. You'll be adding features and improving already developed code.

Working with other developers, designers and product managers, you'll deliver high quality, highly useable experiences and help build brand consistency. Your work will have a direct impact on users and will be deployed across more than 75+ markets. Along the way, you'll be working on other industry-changing products in the pipeline.

To get us across the finish line, you'll work to understand the UI requirements; design and support public-facing front end components; configure and deploy applications to development environments; maintain and improve front end performance.

Sound fun?

If you have an bachelors degree in Computer Science or (3-5) years experience in a related field with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and NodeJS, read on.

We're looking for developers with:
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to translate designs and wireframes into markup using modern HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build responsive, performant websites
  • Experience building scalable high traffic front-end applications
  • Ability to assist customer service teams in troubleshooting issues and provide custom solutions for nonstandard requests
  • Experience working with version control systems, deployment workflows, system architects and quality assurance to deliver robust and error free applications
  • Ability to refine existing components and libraries to improvement performance and usability
  • Experience with modern Web Components, Vanilla JS, Shadow DOM, Fetch API etc. is highly recommend
  • Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
If this sounds like you, we need to talk.

Here's what we offer:
  • Fully remote position
  • Flexible time off policy
  • Very competitive salary
  • Growth and advancement opportunities
  • A great team to work with
At BLOX Digital, we look beyond a resume and look at the person. We can't wait to meet you.
