AI Summary

Qlay, a San Francisco-based tech company specializing in sourcing top global engineering talent, is hiring a Front-end Developer to join their remote Vietnam-based team. This is a full-time contractor role requiring 40 hours per week. You'll work on building and optimizing a high-performance canvas-based web application, shaping intuitive and responsive UI/UX for creative tools. As part of a cross-functional team, you’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, and backend engineers to deliver scalable, efficient frontend solutions. Compensation starts at $1,000 USD gross/month, with paid vacations and an annual bonus equivalent to 1-month's salary.

The ideal candidate has 3+ years of front-end development experience and a strong foundation in application performance, rendering, and browser behavior. A background in creating interactive tools or design platforms is highly valued. You should be proficient in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and canvas-related libraries like React Flow, Konva.js, or WebGL. A degree from a top Vietnamese or international university is preferred. Strong English proficiency and excellent communication skills are essential, as is a keen eye for usability and seamless user workflows.
