Overview

We’re looking for a junior frontend developer to help build and improve our web platforms. This role is best suited for someone early in their career who already has a solid foundation in modern web development and is looking to deepen their skills in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

You’ll work closely with experienced developers on real production systems — contributing to new features, improving existing functionality, and gaining exposure to both frontend and backend workflows.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain responsive web interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React
• Work with backend templating systems (Python / Jinja2) to render dynamic content
• Collaborate with developers to design and implement new features
• Debug issues, test changes, and improve performance and usability
• Contribute to code quality, structure, and documentation
• Support occasional backend or tooling tasks (Go experience is a plus)

What We’re Looking For

• Strong foundational knowledge of:
• HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript
• React (comfortable building components and managing state)
• Basic Python (able to read and work within backend templates)
• Familiarity with Git and standard development workflows
• Ability to learn quickly and work through problems independently
• Strong attention to detail and a focus on clean, maintainable code
• Clear communication and willingness to collaborate in a small team environment
• Legally eligible to work in Canada

Nice to Haves

• Exposure to Go, APIs, or backend systems
• Experience with Docker or development environments
• Interest in performance, accessibility, or internationalization
• Personal or academic projects you can walk us through

Additional Details

• Location: Toronto (hybrid / in-office)
• This is a hands-on role with real ownership — you’ll be contributing to live systems early on
• We’re a small, technical team, so curiosity, accountability, and a willingness to learn matter just as much as experience

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $70,000.00-$90,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Dental care
• Extended health care
• On-site parking
• Paid time off
• RRSP match

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Toronto, ON M4Y 2E4
