Job Description

Location: Fully Remote (with at least 4 hours overlap with Pacific Timezone)

About the Role

We are looking for a mid-to-senior level Frontend Developer with strong expertise in building frontends for Ruby on Rails applications. This is a frontend-only role with a strong emphasis on HTML, CSS (Tailwind CSS preferred), and JavaScript (Stimulus JS preferred). Unlike typical frontend roles, this position does not use popular frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue — the frontend stack is intentionally lightweight. The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys working directly with Rails-backed frontends, is highly detail-oriented in UI/UX implementation, and can work independently while communicating clearly with a small, distributed team.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain user-facing features for Ruby on Rails applications using Tailwind CSS, HTML, and Stimulus JS.
• Translate UI/UX designs into pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces.
• Collaborate with Rails engineers to integrate frontend components with backend logic.
• Ensure accessibility, performance, and cross-browser compatibility.
• Work independently, delivering features with minimal supervision while communicating progress clearly.
• Showcase strong attention to detail in frontend design and execution.
• Provide visual samples of prior work (public websites, portfolio projects, or GitHub repos).

Qualifications

Requirements

• 3–6 years of professional experience in frontend development.
• Proven experience building frontends for Ruby on Rails applications.
• Strong expertise in HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript.
• Tailwind CSS experience strongly preferred.
• Stimulus JS experience preferred (or willingness to work without heavy frameworks).
• Strong eye for detail in UI implementation and design fidelity.
• Ability to work independently and contribute effectively in a small, fast-moving team.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Ability to work with at least 4 hours overlap in Pacific Timezone (PT).

Nice to Have

• Experience with other Rails-friendly frontend libraries.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and performance best practices.
• Visual design sensibility or experience collaborating closely with designers.

Additional Information

What We’re Looking For

• Not backend-leaning: this is an exclusive frontend role. Please apply only if you enjoy working on UI and frontend development, not as something you can “manage” alongside backend work.
• Visual proof of frontend expertise: public projects, portfolio sites, or GitHub code samples are strongly encouraged and will be reviewed as part of the process.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to build high-quality, modern Rails frontends without heavy frameworks.
• Work closely with an experienced team on meaningful projects.
• Remote flexibility with structured collaboration.
• A role where your frontend craft and attention to detail truly shine.
