We are looking for an experienced front-end developer (HTML/CSS) to take the code from our web beta version to the next level. We recently moved from working with an agency to in-house development of frontend and backend code. That’s why we're looking for someone with a passion for high-quality frontend code that is interested in a long term project.

We create screen designs in Sketch and InVision and use Abstract to hand over screen designs with assets in an inspect view (similar to Zeplin). The code for trickle.app is maintained on Github where we develop and apply the stylesheets to static example Upgrade to see actual infoom there our skilled backend team (based in the Philippines) takes over and implements the styles into the template of our learning management system based on Wordpress.

An important part of the project will be to break the existing code down into modules that can be loaded only in circumstances where they are needed.

We are a remote company and communicate in English via Asana and Slack. One of our founders lives in Berlin and the other in Munich. We work with developers, designers, writers and researchers in many countries, including Poland, the Philippines, UK, USA, and many more.
