Forge, a subdivision of Helios WorldWide, is hiring a Junior Front-End Engineer to implement high-end client experiences by translating Figma design systems into responsive, performance-optimized websites. The role involves building modular UI components, maintaining design systems, and supporting development across Webflow, Vue.js, and Nuxt.js.

What you'll do:

• Front-End Development & CMS Architecture: Assist in building, staging, and maintaining responsive websites using Webflow, Vue.js, and Nuxt.js, adhering strictly to component-based architecture and modern clean-code standards
• Figma-to-Code Implementation: Faithfully translate Figma UI/UX designs, wireframes, component variants, and interactive prototypes into high-fidelity web pages, ensuring exact spacing, typography hierarchy, and asset specs
• Custom Styling & Componentization: Customize Webflow CMS structures and dynamic templates using custom HTML/CSS/JS, reusable code blocks, and structured layout logic
• Animations & Interactive Touches: Partner with senior engineers and designers to implement smooth UI transitions, micro-interactions, and scroll animations using CSS and animation libraries
• Optimization & QA Precision: Perform asset compression, site speed optimization, cross-browser debugging, and mobile responsiveness checks to guarantee flawless execution across all viewports
• Bug Fixing & Regressions: Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve routine front-end bugs, broken links, styling regressions, and layout shifts across active staging environments
• Integrations & Analytics Support: Assist in configuring, embedding, and testing third-party tools, APIs, webhooks, and marketing analytics tags
• Documentation & Code Reviews: Maintain clean code documentation, follow team web standards, and actively participate in code reviews to accelerate your technical growth

What they're looking for:

• 1–2 years of hands-on, professional front-end development experience in an agency, tech studio, or fast-paced collaborative environment
• Strong foundational command of HTML5, modern CSS3 (Flexbox, CSS Grid, custom properties), and JavaScript (ES6+), with a mobile-first mindset
• Practical experience building in Webflow alongside component-based frameworks (Vue.js and Nuxt.js preferred; React is a plus)
• Solid proficiency inspecting Figma files, working with component variants, auto-layout structures, and extracting web-optimized SVGs/assets
• Foundational understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON parsing, and basic Server-Side Rendering (SSR) concepts to support dynamic integrations
• Functional experience using Git and GitHub/GitLab for branching, pull requests, and collaborative workflows
• Vue.js and Nuxt.js
• Experience with web animation libraries such as GSAP (GreenSock) or Framer Motion
• Practical understanding of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards
• Basic familiarity with Python
