Role

Who you are

Do you have a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of UI/UX principles? Do you thrive in the intersection of code and design? If so, you will play a critical role in shaping our user interfaces across web platforms, building responsive, adaptive, accessible, and high-performance experiences
Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment (prior startup experience preferred but not required)
Bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in computer science or a similar field is preferred, with a minimum of four years’ experience in frontend development
Deep knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and modern frameworks such as React
Strong skills collaborating in UI/UX design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or equivalent
Experience integrating with REST APIs is required
Ability to bridge the gap between design and engineering – you are just as comfortable in a design review as in a code review
Familiarity with version control (Git), modern dev workflows (CI/CD), and frontend testing (Jest, Vitest, etc.)
Understanding of web accessibility standards and performance optimization is preferred
Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment
A growth mindset, actively seeking opportunities for self and team development

What the job involves

Work with designers to bring features from ideation (e.g. Figma) to production
Translate complex requirements and wireframes into modern responsive web interfaces
Implement reusable components, design systems, and best practices for scalability and consistency
Optimize applications for speed, responsiveness, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser compatibility
Stay up to date with the latest trends in frontend development and UI/UX design
Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to create intuitive, function applications and workflows
Maintain the testability of our web applications as they scale

Our take

Trust is in short supply these days, and while there is a lot of focus on online and financial fraud, physical goods are also vulnerable. The automobile, medical devices, collectibles and luxury goods markets are prone to supply chain failures, counterfeiting, dangerous recalls and security failures, largely caused by a lack of product transparency - how and where products source their components. DUST Identity aims to restore this transparency with a physical solution: a layer of diamond dust that uniquely identifies an item and proves that it hasn't been tampered with.

While this solution may seem expensive since it uses diamonds, it is cheaper than might be expected as the diamonds are sourced from industrial waste. Once applied to an object the orientation of the diamonds is scanned, producing a digital tag that allows that item to be tracked and verified throughout its life cycle. Readily scannable and rugged enough for military applications, this solution is more efficient and reliable than older methods of authentication.

DUST Identity is backed by investment from Airbus and Lockheed Martin, the latter of which has recently made use of DUST Identity's solution as part of its digital transformation efforts. As companies focus more on their supply chains, demand for its product is rising, and DUST Identity is in a strong position to grow its market share going forward.
