At Artefact, our purpose is to harness design and technology to create a more equitable and sustainable world. As our company has grown, we’ve identified a need to expand our development team and increase our technical bandwidth – that’s where you come in.

As a Lead, Full Stack Developer and Creative Technologist at Artefact, you will collaborate with other developers and designers to build beautiful, functional, software applications using a variety of leading-edge technologies. You will develop exceptional user interfaces, and never shy away from learning new tools and technologies when the need presents itself. As a Lead Developer, you thrive in collaborative, creative environments, and work closely with our directors on how we plan, scope and communicate expectations and deliverables to clients. 

You should be equally comfortable explaining technical options (and tradeoffs) directly to clients and white boarding architecture options. The person we want knows web applications and iOS/Android applications and should have at least four years’ experience developing software professionally, preferably building interactive user experiences using tools like Ruby on Rails and various JavaScript frameworks like React.JS, Angular.JS and Node.JS.

If you are passionate about building strong relationships, working with cutting edge technologies and are eager to work at a place where you can personally make a difference, then we should connect.
