Frontend Developer

About AL Labs

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Small accounting firms in Illinois use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. We keep recurring meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays where we can.

We're hiring another Frontend Developer to build the web interfaces our customers use every day, mostly in React and TypeScript. 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. Remote position. Most of the team is in Chicago, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

• Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers
• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA
• Build UI features in React and TypeScript from Figma designs
• Add analytics events and help product read the results
• Work with designers to adjust interactions when something doesn't hold up in the browser

Minimum qualifications

• 2-4 years building production web applications
• Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behavior)
• Solid HTML and CSS, including Flexbox, Grid and responsive layouts
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components
• A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details
• Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues
