So what is this job, really?
What we’re looking for is someone to assist in building out our website frontends!
Our in-house CMS, Tank, is headless, which means we’re not limited to using any particular frontend framework. While we’re strongly leaning towards using NextJS for our frontends at the moment, if you have experience with a different frontend framework (e.g. Remix) we’re certainly open to adapting to your strengths. BYO knowledge of CSS framework (but preferably tailwind).
Naturally any website build is going to be closely tied to an understanding of how to work with a CMS (in our case Tank) so while a comprehensive understanding of the technologies listed in this post isn’t strictly required, it’s fair to say you’ll need to be able to show that you have the ability and drive to adapt and learn new things.
Tank is currently closed-source so you won’t be able to read up ahead of time but some of the technologies it has under the hood include:
Fastify backend, NextJS on the frontend, PrismaORM & Postgres, TailwindCSS, tRPC, Jotai, SocketIO, Docker, Vite and more.
Actually Required Requirements
- Very solid understanding of HTML & CSS with an emphasis on semantics, responsiveness & accessibility.
- Experience as or working with a designer
- Solid understanding and strong appreciation for Typescript
- Solid understanding of React and 3rd party libraries
- Git / source control
- Familiarity with an ORM
Requirements (but could be overlooked if you seem cool)
- Tailwind (or substantial knowledge of another CSS framework)
- NextJS, or some other JS-based frontend framework
- Familiarity with a NodeJS backend framework (NestJS, Express, Fastify)
- Knowledge of how to navigate a terminal
