• Support hiring, onboarding, and skill development for developers on the team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on front-end development experience; portfolio or work samples demonstrating HTML/CSS/JS expertise and visual design sensibility.
• Formal education in a related field is a plus but not required — we're prioritizing demonstrated skill and experience.
• 2+ years in a development management or team lead role, ideally within eLearning or a related digital production environment.
• Expert-level proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Keen eye for visual design and UI polish.

• Strong understanding of eLearning development standards, including responsive design and accessibility.
• Ability to review code and provide technical mentorship to developers at varying skill levels.

Preferred

• Background in custom eLearning development for enterprise or corporate clients.
• Experience with coding frameworks such as Node/React or similar.
