Front End Developer

Shape beautiful, impactful digital experiences with a team that values your expertise.

At Inlight, we create thoughtful digital products that solve complex business challenges and deliver real results. Our cross-functional team of 40+ friendly professionals combines strategy, design, and technology to build experiences that make a difference for our clients and their users.

We're seeking a passionate Front End Developer who sweats the details and elevates our front-end practice. Whether you're a mid-level developer ready to grow or an experienced Staff Engineer, if you love creating polished interfaces and setting technical standards, we want to talk.

You'll join a team of skilled developers who are fluent in React, Next.js, and today's modern front-end technologies. Working closely with our design team, you'll transform creative concepts into polished, functional interfaces. We're specifically seeking someone who excels in crafting exceptional user experiences, meticulously translating design systems into beautiful UIs, and obsessing over the fine details—whether establishing clean Tailwind foundations or perfecting the subtle nuances of styling and interaction design.

Depending on your experience and aptitude, there’s potential to grow into a technical leadership role (Front End Practice Lead), where you’ll act as a mentor and force multiplier across multiple teams.

As a Developer at Inlight, you'll write and (peer review) plenty of high quality, well-tested and thoughtfully structured code. You'll also take ownership of everything around the code which is necessary to build great products, including: requirements analysis; design collaboration; backlog refinement; prototyping / proof of concept; solution architecture; technical design; automated testing; manual QA & release management; troubleshooting and support in production.

We're looking for people who prefer this high-responsibility model, rather than wanting to be told exactly what code to write.
