Position summary
Vergent is looking for a frontend engineer who combines strong development skills with a real eye for design and user experience. That combination is the heart of this role. We would rather have one person who can both build a clean interface and make it look and feel right than several who can only do one.
The primary focus is the frontend experience of our SaaS platform, including the borrower-facing portal and the operator-facing workflows our lenders use every day. This person will also own Vergent's WordPress marketing website end to end. The platform work is the priority; the website is a core responsibility alongside it.
What you will do
- Contribute to and help lead frontend development within the Vergent platform, turning designs and requirements into polished, responsive interfaces
- Partner with Development and Product to improve UI, usability and the overall user experience across the platform
- Own the development, maintenance and ongoing improvement of Vergent's WordPress website
- Build and update responsive website pages, landing pages and custom functionality, partnering with Marketing on initiatives and improvements
- Identify opportunities to improve usability, consistency and visual design across both the product and the website
- Troubleshoot frontend and WordPress issues and maintain website performance
- Take projects from concept through implementation, and collaborate across Development, Product and Marketing to ship them
Required
- Strong WordPress development experience
- Strong HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills
- Proven experience building responsive, user-friendly interfaces
- A strong understanding of UI and UX principles
- Strong attention to detail and visual consistency
- Ability to take a project from concept through implementation independently
Preferred
WordPress development experience, including custom themes and PHP. Strong candidates without it should be comfortable owning WordPress within the first few months
Experience working on a SaaS product
An eye for design strong enough to improve on what is handed to you
