Front End Developer (Vue.js)

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Founded in 1979, we now have 2,000 employees.

The role

Prairieside is looking for a Front End Developer (Vue.js) to join a small, steady team. This role sits between design and backend engineering. Expect to spend most of your time in TypeScript, CSS and browser dev tools. Part of this job is rebuilding an older AngularJS front end in React. Some of that work is unglamorous migration, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our headquarters is in New York City, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will join as an independent contractor on a long-term agreement. Payment is monthly in USD. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Duties

Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook. Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA. Add analytics events and help product read the results. Set up and tune build tooling (Vite, webpack, ESLint, Prettier). Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers. Integrate with REST and GraphQL APIs and handle loading, error and empty states properly.

Required qualifications

3+ years building production web applications. A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details. Familiarity with accessibility standards and semantic markup. Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues. Git and a pull request based workflow. Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behaviour).

Preferred qualifications

Internationalization (i18n) and right-to-left layouts. Visual regression testing with Chromatic or Percy.

Rate: $9.50 to $10.50 per hour
