Job Description

At Interactive Strategies, our developers are the glue that unite great design with solid technology. We're looking for candidates who understand that front-end development is about more than technical skills, but creativity and attention to detail. We involve our developers in all aspects of our projects – therefore we’re seeking self-starters and passionate thinkers who can provide valuable ideas up-front and ensure that design concepts can be implemented effectively. We don’t use bloated frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation and pride ourselves on delivering lean, sleek web experiences. Attention to user experience, quality assurance, and accessibility is important.

*This job is open to remote.

QUALITIES YOU BRING TO THE TABLE:

While we value your front-end development skills, your ability to thrive in our environment is equally as important. We're looking for a candidate with the following characteristics:

  • Someone with the ability to always think one step ahead, catching problems before they happen

  • Excellent communication skills and easy to work with

  • Ability to apply critical, creative thinking and problem-solving to technology issues

  • Curiosity to learn about new web technologies and approaches

  • A team player who enjoys collaborating with others

  • Well-organized and able to work under deadlines and multiple projects

  • A highly motivated self-starter

Requirements

As a Front-End Developer at Interactive Strategies, we care most about the passion and talent you bring to the table. With that being said, requirements for this role include:

  • Demonstrated knowledge of standards-compliant, responsive HTML & CSS
  • Demonstrated knowledge of both vanilla Javascript and Javascript frameworks (specifically, React and/or Next.js)
  • Strong understanding of usability across various device types and major web browsers
  • Strong understanding of best practices for accessibility and WCAG 2 compliance (minimally AA)
  • Experience with CSS preprocessors (SCSS, Sass, Less) and task-runners like Gulp
  • Experience using Figma and Adobe Creative Suite for retrieving developer specifications and graphic assets
  • A great eye for design accuracy, design consistency, and good instincts for how to improvise if a specific design is not provided

NOTE: To be considered for this position, you must include samples of work showcasing your skill set. Please provide AT LEAST ONE of the following:

  • a link to your portfolio website or PDF in your resume or cover letter
  • a list of 3–5 website examples, along with a URL and a brief, specific description of your contributions for each
  • a link to your GitHub, with clear direction to specific repos you would like us to review, along with a brief, specific description of your contributions for each

Not required, but highly desired, knowledge includes any of the following:

  • Design experience

  • Git for version control

  • Package managers (Yarn, npm, Composer)

  • Build tools/task runners (Gulp, Webpack, Vite)

  • Basic working knowledge of CMSes like Drupal, WordPress, and/or Sitecore

  • Back-end or full-stack development experience (e.g., data architecture, PHP/MySQL)

  • Experience with data fetching and working with external APIs

Benefits

We have a simple motto when it comes to company culture, "Everyone deserves to come to work and be happy." This means a few things: (1) we care as much about quality as we do about budgets, (2) we find the strengths in each employee and nurture them, (3) we encourage a culture that values innovation and creative freedom, and (4) we want you to have fun while you’re at the office. We may be an agency, but we understand that you have a life outside of work.

We allow our employees creative freedom. We treat them with respect. We value their opinions. In that spirit, we offer the following benefits:

  • Company-sponsored health, vision and dental insurance
  • Pre-tax Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Profit sharing
  • 4 weeks of vacation/sick time from day one; 5+ weeks at year 3
  • Company-paid short-term and long-term disability
  • Company-paid life and AD&D insurance
  • 11 paid holidays
  • 401k with company match
  • New business referral bonus
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Pre-tax DC Metro SmartBenefits
