Front-end Developers -

At Clique, front-end engineers push the boundaries of what’s possible in web applications. The primary responsibility of this role is simple: to build great experiences for the web. To do this, front-end engineers collaborate with industry-leading designers to explore possibilities through visual and interactive mocks and then translate them into production code and markup. They’re as comfortable understanding designer mockups as they are executing complex interactions on the newest mobile device, and partner with back-end engineers to see it through.
