Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking, employee resource groups and micro-actions, we help most of the Fortune 100 brands build better cultures and use their power for good. We’re also one of the first B Corporations in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits. We have people working all over the world, including Canada, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and more!

Benevity is on a dynamic growth trajectory where embracing change is part of our DNA.

What you’ll do:

  • Lead and manage a team of developers, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and maintainable UI/UX solutions across both web and mobile platforms.

  • Implement and advocate for best practices in front-end development, including accessibility standards, performance optimization, and responsive design.
  • Drive the design and implementation of user experiences, using single-page applications (SPA) and micro-front end (MFE) patterns.
  • Facilitate and refine our CI/CD processes to improve deployment efficiency and reliability.
  • Monitor and address issues related to the usability, performance, and scalability of front-end applications.
  • Mentor and develop junior developers, fostering a culture of high performance and continuous improvement.
  • Engage with stakeholders to ensure front-end solutions meet business requirements and exceed client expectations.

What you’ll bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • At least 5 years of experience in front-end software development with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
  • Expertise in front-end technologies, including JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, and frameworks like Vue.js or React.
  • Strong understanding of design principles, web standards, and best practices for creating interactive and responsive application front-ends.
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards and best practices to ensure inclusivity across all user demographics.
  • Experience working with RESTful APIs to power dynamic front-end applications.
  • Proficiency in using version control systems like Git and familiarity with continuous integration and deployment environments.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a keen attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality, reusable code.
  • Strong communication skills capable of collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams and explaining technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
  • A passion for continuous learning and innovation in web technologies and design practices.
