Overview

Job Description

Modern Tribe is looking for an experienced UI/Front End Developer to join our team as a freelance contractor.

If you have experience with advanced JavaScript, frameworks including React and React Native and want to apply those skills on top of a variety of delivery systems, from integrations with large scale WordPress installs to custom backend and server side rendered platforms you’re probably a good match for this role.

You will enjoy unique challenges and build hybrid app systems or complex interactive UI’s alongside other Front End/Back End Developers that will require deep collaboration with your team. Performance optimization and testing will be a required skill set, and knowledge of the latest asset bundling systems with optimal performance configuration for them will be key. You will also implement designs accurately with progressive css/templating methods and work with the rest of the team to identify reusable code proactively, abstracting that to internal tools as applicable.

This opportunity is for a person ready to challenge themselves with a diverse team on a wide range of JavaScript intensive projects. We foster a collaborative and engaging environment, and are looking for people who want to grow our systems with us as we create the best interfaces and experiences we can for our clients.

Modern Tribe believes in quality. In our products. In our relationships. In our lives. We are 100% distributed and close as can be.
