At Align, we focus on aligning companies and people on their journey to success.

Your designs will often be used by other developers and, when necessary, you’ll work with those developers to transform your designs into Align’s applications. You should have deep experience with design tools, HTML, CSS and Typescript/Javascript. Experience with one or more front-end frameworks such as Vue.js, Angular or React is a plus.
