Front End Developer

Lateral stands for technology excellence.

We’re a profitable, award-winning design and technology company with over 20 years of experience launching bold ventures and transforming businesses. A globally distributed team of 200+ experts united by a shared purpose: the continuous pursuit of quality.

Responsibilities

Craft delightful digital experiences: Design, implement, and maintain front-end features using React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript. You’ll create reusable UI components and craft polished, responsive interfaces with a focus on quality
Collaborate & communicate: Work closely with designers, back-end developers, and product managers in an asynchronous workflow. You’ll regularly communicate with clients to clarify requirements, demo features, and ensure we’re building the right thing.
Optimize, Iterate & improve: Involve yourself in brainstorming and technical discussions. Ensure our apps are fast, accessible, and reliable. You’ll profile and improve page load times, refine animations, and tackle browser-specific quirks so that every user gets a smooth experience. When issues arise, you’ll dive in to debug and fix them, striving for robust solutions that scale (and writing tests to prevent regressions
Learn: Stay curious and keep up with industry trends, frameworks, and standards. You’ll be encouraged to continuously learn and bring in knowledge, evaluating new technologies thoughtfully to see if they can enhance our product or developer experience (we love learning, but avoid “innovation for innovation’s sake”). In short, you’ll help shape a culture of excellence, ownership, and growth on the team.
