Overview

Are you a developer who values working with other self-starters to build software with a meaningful mission?

Contributions

As a Steampunk Front End Developer, you’ll be working with a team of data engineers, designers, infrastructure architects, and cybersecurity experts to bring our teams conceptual solutions to life. You will be leveraging your vast experience by working with many different application teams, languages, and technologies in order to provide our clients with exceptional solutions and functional products. As a developer, you will be hands on with the development of new functionality and will be expected to not only deliver product releases, but also to ensure solutions follow Steampunk’s philosophy of human centered design and co-created experiences. Steampunk developers are committed to continuously learning and aren’t afraid of solving a challenging problem with self-motivation and determination. 

You are equally comfortable blazing your own trail as you are jamming out during pair-programming sessions (although you recognize the benefit of, and prefer, the latter). 

Develop web-based interfaces for solutions utilizing JavaScript, HTML, CSS and other relevant web development frameworks. 

• Embrace and promote a culture of continuous learning and positivity by working with other developers and Design & Strategy team members to co-champion internal training sessions, mentoring, and fellow punk development. 
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers and other Design & Strategy team members to strategize and negotiate ideal solutions. 
• Collaborate closely alongside both architects and other developers to translate client requirements into innovative and forward-thinking approaches, leveraging human centered design.
