HAUS is seeking an experienced freelance Front End Developer. The ideal person will be responsible for the following:
Build Interactive Marketing Websites: Transform Figma designs into responsive, pixel-perfect marketing websites that showcase deep tech innovations. You'll implement complex animations using GSAP and other animation libraries, creating scroll-triggered interactions, parallax effects, and dynamic page transitions that bring our clients' breakthrough technologies to life through engaging web experiences.
Advanced Animation & Motion Design: Create sophisticated web animations and interactions that elevate our clients' digital presence. This includes integrating video backgrounds, moving images, and rich media content seamlessly. When projects demand it, you'll build immersive 3D web experiences using Three js or similar libraries, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the browser while maintaining performance and accessibility.
Performance Optimization & Technical Excellence: Ensure every website performs flawlessly across all devices and browsers. You'll optimize for fast load times, smooth animations, and responsive behavior, conducting thorough QA testing before handoff. This includes managing technical deployments, DNS configuration, hosting setup, and basic third-party integrations to ensure seamless launches.
Webflow Development & Custom Extensions: Leverage Webflow for rapid website builds while extending its capabilities with custom code when designs demand more complex functionality. You'll code interactive Ul components with smooth state transitions and micro-interactions that enhance user engagement and communicate complex tech concepts intuitively.
Collaboration & Creative Partnership: Work closely with designers throughout the implementation process to maintain design fidelity and creative vision. Participate actively in creative reviews, providing technical expertise on feasibility and implementation approaches. You'll collaborate daily via Slack/Zoom, ensuring smooth communication as you translate ambitious creative concepts into functional reality.
Project Management & Delivery: Manage multiple concurrent website projects at various stages of development, maintaining high quality standards across all deliverables. You'll prioritize tasks effectively, communicate progress proactively, and ensure timely delivery of projects that help our deep tech clients tell their stories and showcase their innovations to investors, partners, and customers.
Passion for Deep Tech: You must love deep tech and be genuinely excited by cutting-edge technologies.
Education & Experience: Professional experience building marketing websites, ideally with in-house agency experience. Your portfolio must demonstrate interactive, animated websites you've personally coded, showcasing your ability to bring creative visions to life through code.
Technical Proficiency: Expert-level HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with deep understanding of modern web standards. Strong experience with animation libraries (GSAP, Lottie, or similar) and proficient with modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, or equivalent). You should be comfortable implementing complex scroll interactions and motion design that create memorable user experiences.
Webflow & Custom Development: Demonstrated proficiency working in Webflow and extending it with custom code to achieve design requirements that go beyond platform limitations. You can seamlessly blend no-code efficiency with custom development to deliver sophisticated solutions quickly.
Design Translation Skills: You understand design systems, can work with component libraries, and have a keen eye for typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy that ensures the final product matches the creative vision.
3D & Advanced Interactions: Experience building 3D web experiences using Three.js or similar libraries when projects call for immersive storytelling. You're comfortable with WebGL, canvas animations, and pushing the boundaries of interactive web experiences while maintaining performance across devices.
Performance & Compatibility Excellence: Strong grasp of responsive design principles, cross-browser compatibility, and web performance optimization. You understand Core Web Vitals, can diagnose and fix performance bottlenecks, and ensure smooth experiences across all modern browsers and devices.
Technical Operations: Experience with deployment processes, DNS management, hosting configurations, and basic third-party integrations (analytics, forms, CRMs). You can handle the full lifecycle of a website from development to launch and post-launch support.
Communication & Teamwork: Excellent communication skills - you can explain technical constraints to designers and creative teams while remaining solutions-focused. Since our team is distributed, you need to be comfortable working in a remote environment, collaborating via Slack/Zoom, and proactively communicating project status and potential roadblocks.
Tech Savvy & Curiosity: A genuine passion for technology and innovation is important. Our clients are building world-changing tech in AI, robotics, biotech, aerospace, and more. Your enthusiasm for these domains will help you create more inspired and contextually relevant web experiences that effectively communicate complex innovations.
Bonus Skills: Experience with emerging web technologies (WebAssembly, Web Components), motion design tools (After Effects, Rive), or backend development (Node.js, serverless functions) is a plus. Any experience with headless CMS implementations, JAMstack architectures, or progressive web apps will help your work stand out. We value developers who stay current with industry trends and are eager to experiment with new approaches.
