Job Description

Good call — here's the updated version with the "utility player" framing woven in more clearly:

Front-End Developer (React/JavaScript) — Utility Player, Contract Project

We're looking for a Front-End Developer to join a specific project as a utility player — someone versatile enough to jump between tasks, fill gaps wherever needed, and take ownership of complex front-end challenges independently. This isn't a narrowly scoped role; you'll need to be adaptable, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and ready to deliver high-quality, production-ready code wherever the project needs you most.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a flexible, go-to resource across the project — stepping in on whatever front-end work is needed, from new features to fixes to support
• Build and maintain complex front-end systems using JavaScript and React
• Translate user requirements into clean, scalable technical solutions
• Write, debug, and ship high-quality code independently with minimal oversight
• Collaborate cross-functionally with developers and stakeholders to keep projects aligned
• Review code for quality and adherence to best practices
• Understand the full technical stack and apply the right tools for the job
• Stay current on front-end trends and recommend new technologies/approaches to leadership
• Participate in agile project planning and contribute technical input
• Mentor junior developers as needed

What You Bring

• 5+ years of professional web development experience
• Strong hands-on skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React
• A true utility-player mindset — comfortable moving across different parts of a codebase or project as priorities shift
• Bachelor's degree in a related field (or equivalent experience — Associate's + 2 years, or 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree)
• Proven ability to work independently on complex technical problems
• Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Comfortable working in an agile development environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with Shopify Liquid
• Experience with Agentic AI development

You're a Great Fit If You

• Thrive as a flexible utility player — no task is too big or too small
• Take ownership and work independently on technical challenges
• Communicate clearly and build strong working relationships across teams
• Deliver high-quality, well-tested code under deadline pressure
• Enjoy solving complex problems and evaluating new tools/technologies
