📋 Description

• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to build functional, beautiful user interfaces using Ruby on Rails, Hotwire (Turbo & Stimulus), and modern JavaScript.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain responsive web applications with a focus on performance, accessibility, and mobile-first design, including Turbo Native mobile experiences.
• Work design-forward in code, shaping UIs directly without waiting for pixel-perfect handoffs, treating design as an integral part of the coding process.
• Contribute to and evolve Zipline’s design system using View Components and Lookbook, ensuring consistency and scalability across the platform.
• Build and iterate on prototypes directly in code, leveraging the existing design system as a foundation for rapid development.
• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) as a natural part of the daily workflow to increase velocity without compromising code quality.
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient front-end code that supports large, distributed engineering teams and scales with product growth.
• Diagnose and resolve front-end issues to ensure a smooth, high-performance user experience across devices and browsers.
• Optimize applications for speed and responsiveness, with attention to loading times, interactivity, and accessibility standards.
• Write clear functional requirement documents and technical guides that enable other engineers to understand and extend your work independently.
• Stay current on front-end tooling, emerging patterns, and AI-augmented development practices to continuously improve team workflows and product quality.
• Work in an asynchronous, fully remote environment with strong time management and proactive communication skills to deliver high-quality results independently.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to improve usability, performance, and overall user satisfaction across Zipline’s SaaS platform serving retail, healthcare, and logistics customers.
• Contribute to a culture of craftsmanship where clean code, polished UI, and attention to detail are baseline expectations, not afterthoughts.
• Engage with remote collaboration tools including Slack, JIRA, and Confluence to coordinate work and maintain alignment across global teams.
• Participate in continuous learning through unlimited access to Udemy Business and stay informed on advancements in AI-augmented software development.
• Support mentoring and knowledge sharing with other engineers, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented engineering culture.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years experience in a front-end developer role.
• Professional experience with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML at scale.
• Hands-on experience with Turbo, Stimulus, or the broader Hotwire ecosystem.
• Ability to identify and fix UI issues in code without requiring designer redlines.
• Experience building within and contributing to a design system using View Components and Lookbook.
• Comfort using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) as part of the daily development workflow.

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first culture with flexibility to work from anywhere.
• Stock options in a fast-growing, venture-backed company.
• Flexible time-off policy with a monthly coffee-shop stipend and a fully paid one-month sabbatical after five years.
