Junior frontend developer

About FitMate

FitMate is a consumer nutrition coaching company. We help people make lasting changes to how they eat, and we care about getting the details right.

This is our first employee. You would work directly with the founder, on a small product that real people use every day.

The role is 100% remote. You must live in the United States; we cannot sponsor a visa.

About this role

You will build and polish the interfaces our customers see: Svelte on the web, React Native on mobile. You will take rough product ideas and turn them into clear, responsive, accessible screens, then keep improving them once people are using them.

We are open to 0 to 3 years of professional experience, or none at all. Fresh graduates, self-taught developers, and people without a computer science degree are welcome. Experience with Svelte or React Native specifically is not required. We look at what you have made and how you think about it, not where you studied or worked.

What you'll do

• Build and polish customer-facing interfaces with the founder, Svelte on the web and React Native on mobile.
• Turn rough product ideas into clear, responsive, accessible experiences.
• Notice weak interactions, visual inconsistencies, and confusing copy, then improve them.
• Move between frontend implementation, product judgment, design, and writing as the work requires.
• Learn unfamiliar tools and product areas quickly.

What matters

• A good design eye, and clear reasons for the choices you make.
• Strong attention to detail, in interface work and in how you write.
• Excellent, concise writing.
• Evidence of ownership and follow-through on something you finished.
• Fast learning, honest reflection, and useful iteration.
• Enough frontend foundation to build and debug real interfaces with support.

How we work

• No project managers, no sprints, no standups. Meetings are rare.
• We ship with Claude Code, and the company pays for the tokens.
• Benefits are administered through a PEO.
