DockYard is a remote first, digital product consultancy. Forward-thinking teams come to us to build digital products that scale as their users, features, and complexity grow.

Using a candid approach to partnerships, we help to upskill teams along the way. The result? More flexibility in how our clients take products from idea to impact.

We don't just use innovative approaches to product development – we lead them. That's why visionary companies like Netflix and Apple have trusted us to overcome complex product challenges.

We're honored to have been included on guides ranging from The Startup Weekly's Exceptional Workplace Award (2021), The BBJ's Fast 50 (2021, 2020), Inc 5000 (2020, 2019) and Fast Company's Best Places to Work for Innovators (2020) amongst others.

The Role

Our workflow involves three steps. Designers hand off mockups to the UX developers who then give styled templates to engineers. Traditionally writing HTML and CSS was the responsibility of designers or engineers, but with the rapid growth of HTML5, CSS3 and Tailwind, we believe that there needs to be a role within the team solely focused on those technologies.

The ideal candidate is one who has expertise in HTML and CSS, stays up to date on emerging web standards, and has some experience with Tailwind. DockYard UX Developers continuously strive to achieve clean, semantic, accessible markup.
