Overview

Description
Sparkbox is looking for a frontend designer with a passion for building a better web. We’re always keeping our eyes out for great people—always looking, selectively hiring. The right person for this position loves collaboration with coworkers and clients and believes it brings about the best work. The right person also wants to work in a learning-hungry web environment and help lead the web industry by sharing.

If you’re right for this position, first and foremost you have stellar design skills and a portfolio to back it up. You feel right at home designing a visual language for a website and thinking about designing modularly for design systems. You care about the little details when it comes to typography, interactions, animations, user experience, and layout. You have a user-centric view of the web, know its limitations and possibilities, and care about performance.

The frontend designer position at Sparkbox is different from other web design positions in the industry. Our frontend designers both design and present initial concepts, and often write some level of frontend code. If this sounds like something that you’d love to do, read on!
