We're a digital design firm creating at the world-class level for over 20 years.

Our people are the key to everything here at Level and we live by purpose, passion, hustle, and pride.

Job Description

If you are a highly-collaborative JavaScript wizard who also has killer HTML5, CSS3, and similar front-end dev skills and you thrive on building innovative front-end solutions for highly visible projects with diverse global clients, then Level may just be for you.

Here's what you'll be doing:

• Developing and maintaining custom frameworks and design systems that are used to power some of the world's most visible website experiences.
• Building custom tools to support development processes
• Contributing to existing SASS & JavaScript libraries used on a wide scale
• Contributing to and maintaining documentation for custom frameworks
• Collaborating and ideating on new features for existing systems
• Collaborating with the creative team to enhance application design across multiple platforms

• Responsible for building detailed and performant JavaScript interactions with vanilla JavaScript
• Work closely and collaboratively with team members across multiple disciplines
  PLEASE NOTE: This role is currently fully remote and we will consider candidates in the Central or Pacific time zones willing to work on a PST schedule. However, we do expect this role to eventually transition back onsite and relocation to the San Luis Obispo area would be expected when that does happen.
