Now that we've got your attention ... let's face it, there are a lot of ugly websites out there. We mean ... A. Lot.

BLOX Digital means to change that. At least on the new products and sites we are creating.

We are continually building new products and features and we don't want ugly. We want beautiful and functional.

That's where you come in.

We are expanding our award-winning development staff, and we are looking for top-notch front-end developers. We use a variety of front-end JavaScript libraries combined with a proprietary templating language to output features controlled by our CMS backend.

Working with other developers, designers and product managers, you'll deliver high quality, highly useable experiences and help build brand consistency. Your work will have a direct impact on users and will be deployed across more than 75+ markets. Along the way, you'll be working on other industry-changing products in the pipeline.

To get us across the finish line, you'll work to understand the UI requirements; design and support public-facing front end components; configure and deploy applications to development environments; maintain and improve front end performance.
