At Honest we want to build a great platform for online merchants to engage in excellent digital sales conversations with shoppers. We’re looking for someone to take over HTML/CSS/Javascript responsibilities for our existing MVP and help us evolve it during our beta program and beyond.
We’re looking for a person with a solid, foundational knowledge of the front-end stack and a commitment to best practices in each layer. We value respect and adherence to first principles (semantic markup, accessibility, structured CSS, JS testing, reduced load times…) over specialisation in any specific framework or tool.
Currently Honest runs on a fairly conventional Rails stack with a jQuery-powered frontend. The developer’s responsibilities will include fixing bugs, adding tests, tweaking existing UI features and implementing new ones; code refactoring, and the assessment of strategic decisions for the short and mid-term such adoption and implementation of new frontend tooling/frameworks/technologies/processes.
We’re sowing the seeds of a culture of appreciation for quality and smartness in product design and development. We appreciate developers that see the borders of design and development as blurry and are keen on being informed and able to contribute their voice to all decisions that affect the value we create for people.
We’re also sowing the seeds of a culture of respect, empathy and inclusiveness. No level of technical prowess will excuse a colleague being abusive to you or you being abusive to a colleague. We make ours the pledge and standards of the Contributor Covenant (1) and we expect everyone who joins us in any capability to do the same and take pride on it too.
