Front-End Programmer

As a front-end programmer at CollegePass, you will be responsible for owning and building front-end features using React.js, Tailwind CSS, and modern component libraries. Your role will involve translating Figma design mockups into responsive, pixel-perfect user interfaces and collaborating closely with product, design, and back-end engineering teams to ensure a smooth user experience and clean data flow. Additionally, you will be connecting the frontend to backend systems (Node.js, MySQL) to ensure security, performance, and scalability. Your responsibilities will include participating in code reviews, version control, and continuous integration, as well as optimizing performance, page load speed, and cross-device compatibility. You will also contribute to UI/UX strategy by providing engineering perspectives in design discussions. To be successful in this role, you must have at least 2 years of experience building production-grade React applications. You should possess a solid knowledge of React.js, Tailwind CSS, and Figma-to-code conversion, along with a strong command of HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), and frontend optimization best practices. Familiarity with Node.js and the ability to collaborate with backend APIs is essential, as well as experience using MySQL or other relational databases in connected applications. Good communication skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment are crucial. Additionally, familiarity with Python scripting or microservices, exposure to Langchain, AI agents, or vector DBs, and experience working with MongoDB and NoSQL data structures are considered good-to-have skills. As an ideal candidate, you care about great design and elegant code equally. You enjoy solving complex problems for real users and are excited by the education + AI space. You are reliable, responsible, and collaborative, willing to grow with the team and take ownership of front-end execution to bring ideas to life.,
