Creative Frontend Engineer at candylabs. Location Information: Remote. . We’re looking for a frontend developer who lives and breathes design — someone who can bring interfaces to life with polish, precision, and personality. You’ll work closely with our designer to transform Figma files into pixel-perfect implementations and infuse our app with delightful micro-interactions, smooth animations, and dynamic UI behavior.. Our app is already functional and actively being built by our core frontend developer. What we’re missing is a creative frontend expert who can elevate the experience with attention to visual and motion detail — not just implementing UI, but crafting it.. ⸻. What You’ll Do:. • Recreate high-fidelity Figma designs exactly using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and ShadCN component library.. • Build micro-interactions, hover states, transitions, and page animations that make the interface feel alive and responsive.. • Collaborate with our Creative Director + Designer when necessary and product team to ensure brand consistency and polish across the app.. • Contribute to or lead implementation of 3D or immersive web experiences (e.g., via React Three Fiber or similar), if applicable.. • Own the look and feel of the app and sweat the small stuff — font smoothing, layout spacing, animation timing — all the things that turn “good” into “wow.”. • Work in tandem with the main frontend developer to separate style/aesthetic tasks from functionality/infrastructure work.. ⸻. What We’re Looking For:. • Proven experience implementing pixel-perfect designs from Figma or similar.. • Strong knowledge of CSS/Tailwind, Javascript, layout systems, and responsive design.. • Deep comfort working with animations: page transitions, button interactions, drag/drop, easing curves, etc.. • Familiarity with GSAP, Lottie, or similar JS web animation libraries.. • Experience with ShadCN UI components and extending them when needed.. • Bonus: Experience with 3D rendering on the web (React Three Fiber, Three.js, or WebGL).. ⸻. You Might Be a Fit If You:. • Love sweating the details — spacing, timing, consistency, delight.. • See the frontend as an art form, not just a technical challenge.. • Have an eye for composition and layout. • Are self-directed but collaborative, comfortable giving and receiving feedback.. ⸻. If you’ve ever built something that made someone smile just from using it, we want to see it. Show us your Codepens, your animations, your personal projects, your portfolio sites. This is a role where aesthetic taste and implementation precision matter just as much as technical ability.. .
