Experienced Front End Web Developer

We need a developer with a solid understanding of modern front end technologies and most importantly, the ability to work as part of a team.

Your primary responsibility will be helping maintain our ecosystem of websites. This involves building pages from scratch based on Illustrator or Sketch designs and making modifications to our WordPress and JAMstack (Jekyll-based) sites.

Your HTML5 & CSS3 skills will shine as you show off optimization and code quality when resolving bugs and issues when they come up. You’ll also work at designing and developing better user experiences and measuring the effect on those through A/B tests.

We practice good coding standards, we build for the future, and we don’t believe in cowboy coding or working in a bubble. We’re looking for thinkers … with talent.

What you’ll be doing day-to-day

• Writing code with a focus on performance, speedy page load times, improving conversion rates
• Building sites and implementing redesigns, designed in Illustrator/Sketch, on our WordPress or static-based sites
• Coding features for our sites (both through WP Themes and not) using HTML5/CSS/PHP/JS
• Designing and developing better user experiences and measuring the effect on those through A/B tests
• Future-proofing our sites with maintenance fixes, updating features, and rolling out responsive, mobile-friendly platforms
• Conversing, committing, and delivering via Asana/Slack/GitHub/email (in whatever order that is)
• Exploring new technologies/tools for finding solutions to new (and old) problems
• Optimizing conversions with A/B testing

Application Architecture (things you’ll HAVE to know)

• Experience with static site generators like Jekyll, Gatsby, or Hugo
• Fundamental PHP experience especially as it relates to maintaining WordPress themes and websites
• Semantic HTML
• Sass, Bourbon, etc. (or other CSS pre-processor)
• CSS Frameworks (Bourbon/Neat, Bootstrap, etc… we roll our own, btw)
• JavaScript & jQuery skills
• Experience with build and package management tools like Gulp, NPM, Bower, etc
• Structured Data (gotta satisfy the Googles)
• Advanced understanding of all the cool buzzwords… SEO, Web-standards, accessibility and usability concepts, information architecture, UX & UI design (heavy on the UX)
• Good communication skills & a great can-do attitude (We’re totally serious about this one.)
• A GitHub account or experience with other version control (SVN, CVS, etc. … but git/gh is where it’s at)

We love to work as a team but office hours are flexible. Producing is more important than meeting a “9 to 5” schedule. We understand there are moments when you need to isolate yourself to concentrate so working from home is permitted and encouraged.

OneCare delivers evidence-based, expert written and reviewed media that bridges the gap between information and action. We are building the next generation of health media, defined by:

Reliability

The information age has also become the mis-information age. When it comes to health, this is dangerous. Patients need expert-written and rigorously reviewed content that they can rely on to be up to date, accurate, and comprehensive.

User-Centricity

As patients take personal charge of their health, they need multi-media offerings designed to resonate and provide insight and understanding.

Connectivity

With the advent of digital health and direct-to-consumer brands, content must go beyond simply informing. Patients can now be directly connected to the best, curated options that allow them to take the next step in their health & wellness journey.
