About the job

RIAT Institut is looking for a Front-End Engineer: Javascript (ReactJs), Preact, XHTML, CSS, Accessibility

We are searching for a person who is fluent at front-end Javascript, ReactJS, CSS and accessibility. You will be developing the front-end for back-ends we have developed, and you will also be responsible for our non-React front-ends (CSS, HAML, Twig).

Tasks

You are solid in React, HTML, CSS and know your way around static site generators such as Zola or Pelican. You know about Preact, and you are excited about Deno, NodeJs or Bun (you are a frontend developer though, so don’t worry, we wrote “excited” :) ).

You can write Javascript and Typescript, and you know how to make websites WAI WCAG AAA compliant. You prefer XHTML documented, validated, compressed and with a clean DOM. You know when to use quirks mode and you act according to best-practice in mobile web design, device independence, multi-modal interaction, usability, design for older users, and search engine optimization (SEO). You know Linux and have experience with PHP and Wordpress, and you can write HTML and CSS plainly or with preprocessors such as HAML/SASS. You know Bootstrap, Foundation Zurb or Bulma, and you know how to create flexbox grids. You have experience with the Laravel Blade or Twig template engine and know how to structure your markup so it has minimal overhead. You are confident with Git and you can integrate in a team with backend coders and design enthusiasts.
