We are hiring a front-end developer to build pixel-perfect, production-ready web experiences for early-stage companies using Next.js and modern front-end frameworks.
At Little Plains, development is where design either holds up or falls apart. We do not consider a project done until what was designed in Figma actually exists in the browser, responsive, performant, and faithful to the intent.
You work directly with our design teams to implement experiences with a high level of visual and functional precision.
Early-stage companies need sites and products that feel considered, move well, and perform under real conditions.
The best front-end developers working today are not just implementing handoffs. They are collaborating on design and architecture decisions in real time, using AI-assisted tools to move faster, and in many cases designing and building in the same motion. The ability to write clean, expressive front-end code, with a genuine understanding of both design intent and technical constraint, is still the difference between work that ships well and work that compromises on the way out the door.
Little Plains is a modern brand and product studio. We work primarily with early-stage companies, often from pre-launch through Series A, at moments where clarity, speed, and conviction matter most. Our partners are founders and small senior teams building new products, categories, and narratives under real constraints.
We operate as an embedded creative partner rather than a traditional digital agency, building brand, product, and go-to-market work into cohesive systems that can scale as companies grow. Our work spans healthcare, biotech, SaaS, and consumer products.
Day to day, you will:
Development starts early and runs in parallel with creative work. We use Figma as the source of truth, work in sprints, and hold a high bar for what ships. AI-first development is part of our culture. We expect developers who are genuinely curious about what these tools make possible and who are actively building faster and better because of them.
This role requires precision, a strong eye for design, and the ability to make things work exactly as intended, across browsers, devices, and edge cases.
If you want to build web experiences that are as good in the browser as they are in the file, let's talk.
