Senior Frontend Developer

At A Color Bright, we build digital products. That includes everything from long-term partnerships as an independent in-house team, to fun and playful one-off projects, to our own presentation software venture Deckset. Whatever we do, we are interested in moving organizations forward and creating things with a point of view on the world they exist in. As a team, we care about maintaining a spirit of respectful, open communication that enables collaboration and continuous learning.
