- Are you a developer with a strong design background?
- Do you have experience implementing a design system?
- Do you care about translating mockups to pixel-perfect final products?
- Are you a self-starter who can make UI decisions based on best practices?
- Do you enjoy working on small teams with realistic dreams?

We’re interested in getting to know you with a few contract projects first, and then hope you’ll eventually join our team full-time.

About Raise.dev
As developers, we know that shipping code alone is painful. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who's been there. Raise.dev is the second set of eyes you need to solve the problem, take the next step, or get unblocked.

We create value through on-demand pair programming, longer-term coaching arrangements, and employment opportunities.
