• Implement and maintain a consistent design system (typography, color, layout patterns) across the site.
• Connect the front end to our backend REST APIs, handling loading, error, and empty states cleanly.
• Build and maintain UI components for various film pages and other membership related flows.
• Participate in code review, testing, and launch checks to ensure features are reliable before they reach members.

• Coordinate film assets coming in and going out, between internal and external sources.
• Review and organize incoming and outgoing materials, checking them against Jolt's technical requirements.
• Maintain inventory and delivery tracker for each film.
  

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field.
• Solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with hands-on experience building responsive, cross-browser web interfaces.
• Experience with a modern front end framework or library (e.g., React) and component-based UI development.
• Familiarity with version control (e.g., GitHub) and collaborative development workflows.
• Sharp ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to use designs and product requirements to create working, polished interfaces.

• Experience integrating payment providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) or subscription/billing flows.
• Familiarity with Git and a pull-request workflow.
• Familiarity with connecting front end applications to REST or GraphQL APIs.
• Familiarity with embedding social content (Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube).
• Experience with video/media playback interfaces or streaming platforms.
• Familiarity with UI/UX best practices, accessibility standards, and design tools (e.g., Figma).
• Experience in a fast-paced, agile product development environment.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) or CI/CD deployment workflows.
• Comfort working alongside AI coding tools (e.g. Claude, Codex/ChatGPT).
