Job Description

We are seeking a Front-End Developer with expertise in Next.js to join our team. Your primary focus will be developing and maintaining an intuitive, high-performance front-end experience for our web application. A key part of this role is working with image processing technologies to support our platform’s features. You will also be responsible for basic UI/UX design, ensuring the platform is visually appealing and user-friendly. While this is a front-end-focused role, you may also contribute occasionally to backend development using Django, primarily for API integrations and minor adjustments. Additionally, you will assist with DevOps tasks as needed to ensure smooth deployment and system performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the front-end of our web application using Next.js, React, and TailwindCSS.
• Independently design and refine UI/UX to create intuitive and visually engaging user experiences.
• Build reusable and scalable front-end components and libraries.
• Optimize application performance and ensure smooth user experiences.
• Work with image processing technologies to support features such as AI-generated tattoo designs, image uploads, and modifications.
• Occasionally collaborate on backend development tasks using Django and Django REST Framework for minor API adjustments.
• Occasionally assist with DevOps tasks such as managing CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, and basic infrastructure maintenance.
• Work with the team to debug and resolve issues across the stack as needed.
• Follow best practices for coding, testing, and security.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in front-end development with Next.js and React.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
• Experience with UI/UX design, including wireframing and creating intuitive interfaces without dedicated designers.
• Experience with state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Zustand, React Query).
• Familiarity with server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG).
• Experience with image processing technologies, such as OpenCV, TensorFlow.js, or browser-based image manipulation tools.
• Some experience with Python/Django for minor backend adjustments and API integrations.
• Some exposure to DevOps concepts, including Docker, CI/CD, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a remote setting.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of WebSockets, GraphQL, or other modern web technologies.
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• Prior experience in a startup or SaaS environment.

Why Join Us?

• Work on an innovative product that directly impacts tattoo artists’ workflows.
• Opportunity to work across the stack and gain experience in multiple technologies.
• Flexible remote work environment.
• Be part of a passionate and collaborative team in an exciting industry.
