Basic understanding of cross-browser compatibility and web accessibility standards
Experience using Git (branching, pull requests, merges)

A portfolio or code samples that demonstrate your UI chops (school projects, open-source contributions, hackathon builds, etc.)
What we offer
Competitive entry-level salary and benefits package
Flexible hours and remote-friendly culture
A mentorship-driven environment where you’ll learn from senior engineers
Budget for conferences, courses, and tools to help you level up
A creative, inclusive culture that celebrates fresh ideas and initiative
