Front-end UI Developer Job at Downstream in Portland

Overview Downstream is seeking an experienced front‑end developer to work on the UI of our core CMS product. This CMS delivers content to many of our on‑site installations around the globe. We are at an exciting moment where we are expanding our team to bring polish and stability to this product.

Role & Responsibilities The front‑end developer will work closely with the CMS team to fix bugs, add new features, and generally improve the UX of the CMS. They will need to develop an intimate understanding of the flow of data between the API and the UI, which requires a strong understanding of asynchronous programming and eventual consistency patterns. We work in sprints and use a ticketing system to manage tasks, so we expect everyone to be a good communicator and transparent about the work they are doing. Occasionally, there are other projects and tools that need front‑end development. There is a chance your role expands to work on those, but the CMS product is your primary focus.

These are the technologies you would be working with. Depending on your experience, it may not be critical that you have a professional history with all of these. The ideal candidate is a generalist developer with a broad and varied background.
