About Build With Assembly

We're an organization driven to give people time back in their day. We do this by solving challenges people experience in their lives that can be made easier with technology. We're Assembly, we help visionary leaders build platforms customers rely on and businesses thrive on.

We partner with our clients to help them adopt the cloud and build the technology assets needed to transform their business, whether that be new custom software development, cloud migrations, or application modernization of existing, legacy systems.

We’re a high-performing entrepreneurial team with nearly two decades of experience helping enterprise organizations, including Honda, Acura, Brookfield, Canon, and many more continuously evolve their tech to meet their business goals.

We are a fully remote company that takes pride in having an unmatchable team of practitioners, in 5 countries across 4 continents, that have helped us rise to the ranks of being on the Profit 500, Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies, Best Workplaces in Technology, and Best Workplaces in Canada (Top 50).

The Position

We believe front-end development is about understanding the challenges of modern web development and the tools available in the ecosystem to address them.

As a Front-End Developer, you will be responsible for implementing static visual designs and interactive elements that users engage with through their web browser when using a web application. You will work with the UI/UX designer and bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works. You will be supported by Back-End Developers, who are responsible for server-side application logic and integration of the front-end work.

If you are a Front-End Developer who is passionate about your craft, motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming, then you are right for this role.
