Work at Clearleft
This was originally posted on my own site.
A little while back, I wrote about how much I like the job description of a design engineer. I still have issues with the “engineer” part, but overall it’s a great way to describe a front-end developer who works on the front of the front end: the outputs that end users interact with: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If it’s delivered in a web browser, then it’s design engineering.
Perhaps you also prefer the front of the front end to the back of the front end. Perhaps you also like to spend your time thinking about resilience, performance, and accessibility rather than build pipelines and frameworks. Perhaps you’d like to work with like-minded people.
Clearleft is hiring a midweight design engineer. Perhaps it’s you.
If you’d like to use your development talents in the service of good design, you should apply. And remember, you’d be working for yourself: Clearleft is an employee-owned agency.
You don’t have to be based in Brighton. You can work remotely, although we’re expecting that a monthly face-to-face gathering will become the norm after The Situation ends. So if you’re based somewhere like London, that would work out nicely. That said, if you’re based somewhere like London, this might also be the ideal opportunity to make a move to the seaside.
You do have to be eligible to work in the UK. Alas, that pool has shrunk somewhat. Thanks, Brexit.
Perhaps you think you’re not qualified. Apply anyway. You’ve got nothing to lose.
Perhaps this role isn’t for you, but you know someone who might fit the bill. Please tell them. Spread the word.
We’d especially love to hear from people under-represented in design and technology.
