Job description
Overview:
We need a developer with good foundational knowledge to join our diverse and talented front-end team, and help us build forward-thinking web solutions that are fast, WCAG accessible, user-friendly, and beautiful (both on the surface and under the hood). Your work at Velir could help our clients improve global health, drive changes in policing, promote the health and well-being of children, and more. In short, your code has a chance to really mean something.
Why You Should Join

We believe that high-performing teams include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we actively seek a diverse pool of applicants, including those from historically marginalized groups. If you’re from a background that’s underrepresented in tech, we’d particularly love to meet you.
