We're currently expanding our team to bring in a dedicated Front-End Developer who can bridge the gap between clean design and seamless execution.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a skilled front-end developer with strong React.js experience and a sharp eye for design implementation. You’ll collaborate with our back-end team and designers to deliver elegant, responsive, and user-focused interfaces for demanding clients.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands the nuances of great UX/UI, and takes pride in translating high-fidelity designs into performant web experiences.

• Integrate with back-end APIs and collaborate with our internal backend team
• Work closely with in-house animators to implement smooth and dynamic UI elements
• Communicate progress and blockers proactively with the team
• Contribute to an initial revamp of themilkbar.co as your first major project

Requirements

• Proven experience with React.js or modern front-end frameworks (Vue.js, Svelte, etc.)
• Strong understanding of responsive design, CSS/SCSS, and component-based architecture
• Ability to translate design into functional, performant code
• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs
• Some back-end familiarity is a plus
• Comfortable collaborating with a remote team across time zones
• Europe-based preferred, or with strong time zone overlap with EU/US hours
• Portfolio or examples of previous front-end work required

Bonus Skills

• Experience working on high-end client websites or luxury/creative brands
• Animation experience (GSAP, Lottie, CSS animation)
• Familiarity with version control (Git), headless CMS platforms, or static site generators
