Position Overview
Bring your technical expertise, passion, and curiosity to a leadership role on a creative and energetic team that builds innovative digital experiences for our clients. As a Lead Front-End Developer, you'll work closely with every part of One North. You'll partner with industry-leading strategists and designers, work alongside architects and developers, and help shape technical direction from discovery through launch.
The Lead Front-End Developer provides technical leadership across client engagements while staying close to the craft of delivery. You'll guide implementation decisions, mentor developers, support project planning, and help teams deliver work that is performant, accessible, maintainable, and thoughtfully built.
As a Figma Service Partner, we work deeply within the Figma ecosystem, from early design exploration through production handoff and design system management.
This position is for remote or hybrid workers. Our home office is based in Chicago, and applicants in the Chicago area are expected to be in the office part time for a light hybrid onsite/remote work model. We are also open to remote locations across the U.S.

Working with AI Tools
We expect our lead developers to have hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and a clear point of view on where they help and where they hurt. Leads should be able to help teams adopt AI-enabled practices responsibly while maintaining strong engineering fundamentals, code quality standards, and delivery discipline. It's equally important that you can do excellent work without them. AI accelerates good engineers, and the fundamentals still matter. We're looking for people who reach for AI as one tool among many.
