About the Role
They are looking for an intermediate Front-End Web Developer to join their team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with CSS and a passion for performance and accessibility.
They favor applicants with a strong sense of ownership over their own work. Excitement and ability to learn and contribute is more important than other metrics like years of experience.

- Reviewing code and content changes from other developers on the project.
- Working from mockups (they use Figma), wireframes, and design systems.
- Communicating with team members and clients to understand and balance requirements.
- Identifying and helping to address performance and accessibility issues in Web and mobile systems.
- Writing tests for your work.

- Have experience working within reasonably complex integrated systems.
- Have collaboratively developed features with a team.
- Have experience with testing and continuous integration processes.
- Be able to communicate clearly with clients and co-workers across multiple time zones.

Growth & Ownership
The team is co-operative and will help you learn and expand your skills via mentoring, team-wide support, and learning opportunities. All team members are encouraged and given space to grow as individual contributors and have ongoing opportunities in project and team leadership.
Opportunity for employee ownership is a fundamental part of silverorange (non-founders currently own more than a third of the company) and they’re currently working on new ways to transfer even more ownership to employees.
Inclusion & Diversity
They encourage people from traditionally underrepresented groups in their industry to apply.
Remote Work
The team has been remote-friendly for over 20 years, and remote-first for the last 10. This is a full-time remote position, though you are welcome to work from their offices in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada if you wish.
The majority of their team is full-time remote and 95% of their clients are remote. You’ll need to be comfortable working with a remote team regardless of your location.
Typically all employees spend at least one week each year working from their Charlottetown office, so plan on visiting PEI semi-regularly.
Regular voice or video communication will help keep you in touch with the team.
Benefits & Compensation
- Flexible work days.
- 3 weeks of paid vacation, on top of 10 paid days of civic holidays, and 3 weeks of paid company-wide shut down.
- Generous health and dental coverage, with 100% of premium covered by silverorange.
- New computer hardware every 3 years, and other tools as needed.
- Yearly company-wide bonuses based on overall company success, plus ownership opportunities and dividends for long-term employees.
- Salaries based on skills and experience ranging from CAD $65,500 - $92,000, with both annual company wide salary band adjustments as well as opportunities and expectation of ongoing career and compensation growth.
