 The Position:

Joining the Leapfrog team means being part one of the largest digital marketing companies in the world that helps brands uncover new customers and revenue through leading and innovative digital direct-marketing technology. If you are interested in data driven marketing and emerging digital technology then read on!

Leapfrog Online is looking for a skilled front-end developer to maintain and implement high-volume consumer-facing websites and e-commerce applications. Candidates should have 2+ years of experience with standards-based HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, preferably working with e-commerce and/or transactional websites.

Responsibilities:

  • Maintaining consumer facing, customer service and e-commerce applications
  • Performing ongoing quality assurance tests including functional testing and browser/OS interoperability
  • Regularly performing user experience and code optimization
  • Participating in the creation and construction of user experiences
  • Supporting client-sponsored monthly service and promotional offer changes

Qualifications:

  • A good problem-solver, with an analytical mind.
  • Skilled in HTML, CSS (experience with Sass or Less a plus), and Javascript.
  • Experience with Responsive Web Design.
  • Passionate about Web Standards, semantics, and code organization.
  • Experience with Javascript frameworks (jQuery, Angular, etc.).
  • Experience with image editing software (e.g. PhotoShop).
  • Experience building for content management systems a plus.
  • Experienced with version control (we use Git and Github), content management methodologies, and UNIX.
  • Willingness to learn new things.
  • Familiar with development and maintenance of web-based applications using MVC design patterns.
  • Familiar with node-based systems like grunt and gulp.
  • Detail-oriented and able to manage multiple priorities and adhere to tight deadlines.
  • Highly self-motivated and resourceful.
  • Looking for a focused, fast-paced, team-oriented environment in which to grow.

The Perks:

Casual dress. We welcome all dress styles but jeans work well here! And, our newly renovated office has a modern open layout space.
  • Innovative work environment. We value our team culture, founded on bright people with passion for their work. We offer bi-monthly Lightening Talks where team members present to their peers about both general and technology topics. Leapfrog values having a balance between work and personal life; we believe people are happier and more productive when they have this balance. We also get to do our “thing” in a former Tinkertoy factory.
  • Easy transportation and parking. We are steps from the Dempster Purple Line “L” stop and a couple blocks from the Metra stop. There is a dedicated indoors bicycle area for our year-round and seasonal cyclists. Plus, we have street parking far easier than downtown.
  • Great location.  The Leapfrog office benefits from Evanston’s laid back attitude along with dozens of restaurants within walking distance. Nearby you’ll find Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, coffee shops, and the famous Edzo’s Burger Shop. And, gym and yoga facilities are just down the street.
  • Food! Our kitchen is stocked with all-you-can-eat snacks, a variety of coffees, along with sodas. Summers find us noshing on BBQ, and every Friday morning, the office enjoys bagels, donuts, or pastries, not to mention the endless amounts of goodies our amateur chef employees bring in for sharing. 
  • All Leapfrog Online positions are contingent on successful completion of a background check.
