The Role
We are seeking a Frontend-Focused Full Stack Developer with strong UX/UI skillsto lead the design and development of our user interfaces. You'll work closely with our lead engineer, CEO, and product team to create beautiful, responsive, and intuitive features for our web and mobile users.

- Experience with HTMX, Alpine.js, or similar for interactive, dynamic UI development.
- Ability to translate design tools (Figma, Adobe XD) into pixel-perfect, production-ready code.
- Passion for crafting interfaces for diverse, non-traditional users (students, tradespeople, first-time users).
Backend & Full Stack Skills:
- Solid experience with Python and Django in a production environment.
- Comfortable working with APIs, authentication flows, and backend logic.
- Experience deploying apps to Heroku, including managing environments and add-ons.

- Detail-oriented with a passion for thoughtful, user-centric design.
