C4Media, Inc. is looking for a fully remote Frontend Developer (Design-Minded), contractor who can bridge the gap between design and code. You'll transform Figma designs into performant user interfaces for our consumer-facing websites. While you won't be expected to create designs from scratch, you should have a strong eye for detail, understand design principles, and be comfortable providing technical feedback on design feasibility.

What You’ll Do

• Implement Features: Build new product features from Figma designs to production-ready code.
• Design Collaboration: Review Figma mockups and provide feedback on technical feasibility and interaction patterns.
• Performance Focus: Optimize frontend performance, ensure accessibility standards are met, and maintain high code quality.
• Bridge Communication: Work independently when needed and collaborate with designers when available, translating between design intent and technical implementation.

Job Requirements

Professional Experience, Skills & Education:

• 3+ years of professional frontend development experience
• Advanced CSS knowledge and experience with Tailwind CSS
• Excellent TypeScript skills
• Strong proficiency in React
• Proven ability to implement designs from Figma with high fidelity
• Understanding of design systems and component architecture
• Portfolio required: Must provide examples of previous work (live sites, GitHub repos, or case studies demonstrating design implementation quality)
• Comfortable navigating and extracting specs from Figma
• Eye for spacing, typography, and visual consistency
• Understanding of UX principles and user-centered design
• Can prototype interactions and micro-animations
• Only candidates who submit their applications in English will be considered for this role (including resume)

Setup Requirements:

• Able to work in a full-time remote position
• Reside in EMEA
• Able to work as an independent contractor
• Able to work in overlap with our core global office hours (9 AM - 1 PM EST)
• Quiet home office and ability to work comfortably from home
• Reliable infrastructure: Access to high-speed internet and a modern computer
• Able and willing to travel to locations in the USA or Europe 1–3 times per year, with an average stay of 4–8 days, to attend our software conferences and annual company meetings

Nice to Have

• Experience maintaining or building design systems
• Accessibility (WCAG) expertise
• Experience working with Astro

 What Makes You Successful Here

• You don't need to be a designer, but you should:
• Communicate effectively with designers about constraints and possibilities
• Care deeply about the details—spacing, alignment, hover states
• Think about the user experience while writing code
• Ask questions when designs are ambiguous rather than guessing

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who: 

• Gets excited about implementing beautiful, smooth interfaces
• Suggests better interaction patterns when something feels off
• Takes pride in making the final product match (or exceed) the design vision
