What’s the Team Environment Like? Having learned from my previous experiences, I’ve gone to great lengths to set up an environment that allows us to move quickly, avoid bottlenecks and have the tools we need to do our jobs best, including: Agile Methodology – Our teams work in short sprints, allowing for frequent feedback and iterations. Modern Tech Stack – We use the latest tools and technologies in the market, ensuring you’re always learning.

You’re comfortable with JavaScript, Vue.js, HTML, and CSS, and have proven that you can create interfaces that are not just functional but also engaging and user-friendly. We’re sticklers for design, so CSS mastery is a must in this role. 😉 But it’s not just about technical prowess. You understand the big picture of web development, the journey from a simple sketch to a live, dynamic website. You’re not just writing code but optimizing it for speed and scalability. You’re a team player, but also know when to take the reins and steer a project home.

Who Are We and How Are We Different? Our mission is simple: make living healthy easier than living unhealthy. We empower people to fix their own health with 4 key things that make us different: Metabolism-First – After 12 years of trial-and-error with 500k+ people, we’ve found optimizing your metabolism delivers the results you want: feeling your best, looking your best, performing your best and living longer. Your metabolism is your inner compass for health, but most people don’t understand how to read it; once you do, it’ll tell you exactly how to thrive. Individualized-Approach – Paleo may work great for one person, Vegan for another, Keto for another, etc. Everyone’s metabolism is different, so to achieve results that stick, those differences must be respected; if not, things will backfire. That’s why our approach is 100% customized to the individual – there is no perfect program to find, it must be built to support how that person’s unique metabolism works. This is where the standard one-size-fits-all solutions fail. Integrated Ecosystem – It’s too hard to live healthy – lots of great individual solutions, but nothing is connected. We’re left to stitch everything together, which is confusing. We simplify with our integrated ecosystem of offerings to optimize your metabolism. We started with nutrition, then exercise, then supplements, then coaching and are constantly adding new elements. Unified Platform – All of our offerings are being combined into our proprietary Metabolic Optimization System (MetabolicOS) that unites practitioner wisdom and scientific research with machine learning to deliver a truly customized experience that helps dial in your metabolism at any stage of life. We expect this unification to be completed by Q1:24 with the launch of our app. What You Need to Succeed 5 + Years of Front-EndExperience – Hands-on experience as a Senior Front-End Developer with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and preferably Vue.js (we use version 3) or similar frameworks Expert Level CSS Skills – Proven CSS skills, with the ability to bring UX designs to life in pixel-perfect clarity at any resolution or device API Integration – Proficiency in interfacing with RESTful APIs, you are adept at connecting different software components and ensuring seamless communication between systems Version Control – You are familiar with Git or comparable version control systems and understand the importance of maintaining a structured and efficient codebase Driven to Excellence – An ownership mentality with a relentless inner drive to excellence that other people who aren’t built that way find disturbingly intense 🙂 Exceptional English & Communication Skills – A perceptive listener who quickly synthesize info and can formulate a methodical action plan that can be clearly articulated verbally and in writing Reliable Tools – A high quality laptop and internet connection, as well as the ability to work during load shedding hours without interruption #J-18808-Ljbffr
