Location: Fully Remote (with at least 4 hours overlap with Pacific Timezone)
About the Role
We are looking for a mid-to-senior level Frontend Developer with strong expertise in building frontends for Ruby on Rails applications . This is a frontend-only role with a strong emphasis on HTML, CSS (Tailwind CSS preferred), and JavaScript (Stimulus JS preferred) . Unlike typical frontend roles, this position does not use popular frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue — the frontend stack is intentionally lightweight. The ideal candidate will be someone who enjoys working directly with Rails-backed frontends , is highly detail-oriented in UI/UX implementation, and can work independently while communicating clearly with a small, distributed team.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain user-facing features for Ruby on Rails applications using Tailwind CSS, HTML, and Stimulus JS .
- Translate UI/UX designs into pixel-perfect, responsive interfaces.
- Collaborate with Rails engineers to integrate frontend components with backend logic.
- Ensure accessibility, performance, and cross-browser compatibility.
- Work independently, delivering features with minimal supervision while communicating progress clearly.
- Showcase strong attention to detail in frontend design and execution.
- Provide visual samples of prior work (public websites, portfolio projects, or GitHub repos).
Requirements
- 3–6 years of professional experience in frontend development.
- Proven experience building frontends for Ruby on Rails applications .
- Strong expertise in HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript .
- Tailwind CSS experience strongly preferred.
- Stimulus JS experience preferred (or willingness to work without heavy frameworks).
- Strong eye for detail in UI implementation and design fidelity.
- Ability to work independently and contribute effectively in a small, fast-moving team .
- Excellent communication skills.
- Ability to work with at least 4 hours overlap in Pacific Timezone (PT) .
Nice to Have
- Experience with other Rails-friendly frontend libraries.
- Knowledge of accessibility standards and performance best practices.
- Visual design sensibility or experience collaborating closely with designers.
What We’re Looking For
- Not backend-leaning : this is an exclusive frontend role . Please apply only if you enjoy working on UI and frontend development , not as something you can “manage” alongside backend work.
- Visual proof of frontend expertise : public projects, portfolio sites, or GitHub code samples are strongly encouraged and will be reviewed as part of the process.
Why Join Us?
- Opportunity to build high-quality, modern Rails frontends without heavy framew
