What this job is:

Chiselboard is looking for a Junior Frontend Engineer to join a small, steady team. Hands-on frontend role. You'll ship features, fix layout bugs on odd screen sizes and help maintain our shared component library. The operations team owns the customer-facing web app. You'll turn Figma designs into fast, accessible screens and keep them that way. Our headquarters is in Miami, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. We engage team members in Latvia as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

In your first few months you will:

• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent.
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers.
• Manage client state with Redux Toolkit, Zustand or TanStack Query.
• Maintain and extend the shared component library in Storybook.
• Pair with backend engineers on API contracts before work starts.
• Write unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library, and end-to-end tests with Playwright or Cypress.

What you bring:

• 0-2 years building production web applications.
• Git and a pull request based workflow.
• Deep working knowledge of React (hooks, context, rendering behaviour)
• A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details.
• Experience with a styling approach such as Tailwind, CSS Modules or styled-components.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM.

Pluses:

• Visual regression testing with Chromatic or Percy.
• Internationalization (i18n) and right-to-left layouts.
• Figma, including Dev Mode.

Pay and benefits:

Salary: $3,200 to $3,800/month

• Paid time off.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• Company laptop.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Immediately.
