Remote Front-End Rails Developer
- Anywhere in the World
Headquarters: Remote
URL: https://designfiles.co
At DesignFiles, we’re looking for a Front-End Rails Developer with strong JavaScript and UI skills to help shape and improve the creative tools at the heart of our platform.
About Us:
At DesignFiles, we’re building the go-to platform for interior designers to manage every part of their business—from concept to completion. More than 5,500 customers already rely on our tools, and our remote team of 30+ is growing. If you care about building great products that solve real problems, we’d love to meet you.
What You'll Do:
-
Help guide the evolution of our Design/Presentation Editor into a modern, Canva-style experience that supports moodboards, room mock-ups, client presentations, reusable templates, and more.
-
Build intuitive, high-performance UI components for core editing interactions: drag-and-drop, layering, resizing, grouping, alignment, snapping, canvas navigation, and on-canvas text/image editing.
-
Collaborate closely with product and design to translate complex user needs into seamless creative workflows.
-
Shape the architecture and structure of our editor so it's fast, scalable, and easy to maintain as it grows.
-
Contribute to a high-quality, design-forward experience that feels just as good as tools like Canva or Figma — but purpose-built for interior designers.
-
Participate in team rituals like daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
What We're Looking For:
-
Strong vanilla JavaScript skills, including DOM/event handling, canvas or SVG rendering, and performance optimization.
-
Experience building or contributing to visual editors, creative tools, or browser-based design software is a strong plus.
-
Deep understanding of CSS, with hands-on experience using Tailwind or a similar utility-first framework.
-
Proficient with Stimulus.js, Turbo, Hotwire, ViewComponents, and the modern Rails front-end stack.
-
3+ years of hands-on Ruby on Rails development experience.
-
Takes full ownership of features from concept to deployment—driving high-quality, scalable implementations.
-
Fluent English and clear, professional communication skills.
This is a full-time, 40-hour/week remote contract role. We’re specifically seeking candidates (not agencies) based within ±2 hours of Central European Time (CET).
If you’ve built or contributed to browser-based editors or creative tools—and care about crafting fast, intuitive, design-friendly experiences—we’d love to talk.
