Full-Stack / Frontend Developer
About AM Digital Designs
At AM Digital Designs, we are on a mission to elevate the digital presence of local small businesses, combining enterprise-level strategy with boutique agency agility. Rooted in Lawrence, MA, we celebrate diversity, culture, and community, translating these values into high-impact digital experiences that help our clients thrive.
About the Role
We don’t just design beautiful interfaces; we build them robustly. Our web presence and our clients’ digital products must perform flawlessly across all devices. We need a seasoned Full-Stack/Frontend Developer who respects the design process and possesses the technical rigor to turn a Figma prototype into a living, breathing, high-performance web application.
Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:
- Frontend Architecture: Write clean, semantic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (React/Vue preferred) to bring UI/UX designs to life with pixel-perfect accuracy and fluid animations.
- Backend Integration: Develop and maintain custom PHP backend systems, MySQL databases, and construct secure third-party API connections (e.g., Stripe, Mailchimp, HubSpot).
- Performance Optimization: Constantly audit and refactor code to ensure lightning-fast load times, optimal Core Web Vitals, and flawless responsive behavior on all mobile devices.
- DevOps & Deployment: Utilize Git for version control, manage cloud staging environments, configure DNS settings, and execute final deployments to production servers safely.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- 5–8+ years of experience in full-stack or complex frontend development, preferably within an agency, consultancy, or product environment.
- Expert proficiency in modern JavaScript (ES6+), PHP 8+, MySQL, and CSS architecture (SASS/Tailwind).
- Deep familiarity with Figma’s Dev Mode, able to extract design specs, padding, and variables accurately without needing a designer to hold your hand.
- Strong understanding of web security principles (OWASP), cross-browser compatibility, and strict WCAG accessibility standards.
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience building custom WordPress themes or headless CMS architectures (Contentful, Sanity).
- A passion for mentoring junior developers or technical interns.
Compensation & Perks:
$95,000–$130,000/yr base salary, full health benefits, home-office/remote work stipends, flexible hours, and an environment that respects engineering time and avoids burnout.
