Hire a Front-End Developer.
Pixel-accurate, accessible, performant interfaces — built with modern component libraries and shipped behind feature flags.
Pre-vetted, full-time dedicated, with HR & payroll handled.
Overview
What a Front-End Developer actually does.
Front-end developers turn Figma into production code. We vet for real-world skills: accessibility discipline, component architecture, bundle awareness, and the kind of CSS fluency that makes designers stop opening tickets about spacing.
Responsibilities
- Build React / Vue / Svelte components from design specs
- Own accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), responsive behaviour, and cross-browser QA
- Keep bundle size and Core Web Vitals in check
- Pair with designers on design-system maintenance and tokens
- Write component tests and Storybook coverage

How We Vet This Role
Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.
Front-end candidates ship a small interactive component from a Figma file — we grade on a11y, responsive behaviour, and code readability, not flashy animation.
