Friends From The City

Job Title: Frontend Developer - Staff Location: 100% Remote - anywhere in the Continental U.S. Salary: $160,000/year Note: All advertised positions are salaried and full-time. About Us Friends From The City is a design, research, and engineering company focused on public impact. Our mission is to make digital interactions with government simple, intuitive, and accessible. That means removing barriers like confusing user flows, inaccessible content, and language limitations that prevent people from getting what they need. We build digital products using accessible design, rigorous research, and reliable code. About the Role Millions of people rely on government websites and applications to access critical services like healthcare, housing, and financial support. But when those tools are slow, confusing, or difficult to use, it can make essential tasks feel impossible. As a Frontend Developer at Friends, you will help change that. You will build fast, accessible, and reliable interfaces that help people complete important tasks with confidence. You will work closely with designers, researchers, and backend engineers to bring user-centered digital experiences to life.

  • Translate design prototypes into standards-compliant, reusable components
  • Partner with designers and backend engineers to deliver end-to-end features on a two-week sprint cycle

  • Working knowledge of accessibility standards (Section 508, WCAG 2.2)
  • Experience in agile teams; you know what a sprint review and a retrospective are
  • Ability to obtain a Moderate Risk Public Trust (MRPT) clearance
  • Nice To Haves:
  • Good to have, but not required:
  • You've worked with USWDS before
  • You've built for multilingual or right-to-left user bases
  • You have federal or civic tech experience
  • You've contributed to open-source projects
  • You're comfortable in AWS environments (CloudFront, S3, Lambda) even if DevOps isn't your main thing
  • Education & Experience:
