Front End Developer

Profile

**Online Portfolio Required. Please submit with Application**
Description:
We are seeking a hardworking Front-end Developer to take our highly innovative creative concepts and build them with as much creativity and precision as they were designed. Although your primary function is that of a top tier front-end developer, you have an eye for design and will play an important role on a growing consumer-facing product team. You care about pixel perfection and bring design and interaction ideas to the table every day.
A primary portion of this role will be creating beautiful and easy-to-use UIs that possess the simplicity, usability and attention to detail as if you were a modern day Di Vinci. The position will be responsible for building websites, interactive forms and landing pages for various insurance products such as auto, home, and health insurance. With hundreds of thousands of page views each week, one successful new homepage or landing page test could generate millions in annual revenue.
Responsibilities:
Code pages and offer creative usability solutions while adhering to the growing brand and style guidelines.
Demonstrated experience in creating rapid prototypes for testing products and new concepts.
Construct designs (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript or whatever wand you need to create that magic) to be pixel perfect, while opening up the boundaries of latest coding trends, tricks, subtle animations, etc.
Maintain web standards and keep up-to-date with new technologies and advertising trends and formats (i.e. site responsiveness, size restrictions, mobile, web video, etc.)
Along with landing and homepages, other requests will inevitably come your way including interactive info graphics, microsites, new interactive form flows and overall page innovations.
Work with internal customers to determine project goals and deliverable timeframes.
Our Ideal Candidate:
Is a graduate from a 4-year school with a graphic design degree or computer science degree (or close equivalent) and 1-3 years of experience, including front-end development and other relevant interactive media.
Has a portfolio or a list of stellar web sites and other projects that you have worked on where you can demonstrate excellent coding principles, and problem solving through visual communication
Has excellent interpersonal skills and significant experience working cross functionally – should be able to collaborate closely with our Technology and Product peers as a key creative partner
Can find creative solutions to solve technical problems. Use your creativity to build elements and make things more efficient.
Can understand business objectives and proactively contribute both strategic and innovative ideas
Interested in the analytics associated with the creatives you produce and test, to improve pages by making small but significant changes
Can funnel constructive criticism into new ideas
Professional Knowledge:
Expert knowledge of HTML5, CSS, SASS/LESS
Knowledge of Responsive Web Design and building custom grids
Ability to create clean and concise code for cross platform browsers – no WYSIWYG
Able to write JavaScript (and/or jQuery) at an intermediate level (form validation, developing calculations, DOM manipulation)
Experience with GIT in a production environment, and comfortable with resolving code conflicts or versioning issues.
Plus: Developing in a mobile first UI perspective
Plus: Simple CSS animation using Keyframes
Plus: Experience with Vue, React, or other JS frameworks
Plus: Experience using automated scripting tools like gulp to build automated development processes leveraging NPM or Yarn, Node.js and other modern development techniques
