JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Description Design Technologist & Front-End Developer - R&D for Civic Innovation - REMOTE Why you want to work at Flexion: Flexion is seeking a Design Technologist with a unique combination of design and development experience to join our team in supporting a large agile government initiative. This role involves remote collaboration with government innovators to explore, prototype, validate, and build cutting-edge digital solutions for government agencies and public benefits programs. We are seeking someone who is both creative and intuitive in assessing problems and uncovering long term solutions. At Flexion, we\'ve been delivering excellence for over 24 years.) Our culture is built on autonomy, trust, and transparency. Teams are empowered to function collaboratively, solve complex problems, and remain self-directed. Each team member is a leader, taking ownership of the success of the entire team. This means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (research, content, business analysis, information architecture, etc.) as needed. This mirrors our company\'s low-hierarchy approach, where all voices are valued, and impactful work is prioritized. What the job looks like: As a Design Technologist, you\'ll use your start-up mentality to help determine the viability, impact, and value of many different kinds of digital product and service ideas within the federal government. This involves deep user and internet research, coupled with the ability to ask the right questions at the right time. As the ideas take shape, you\'ll also build out prototypes and MVPs that illustrate the need and possible solutions to decision makers. Based on the results of this R&D work, you\'ll advocate for the very best ideas to receive additional support and resources - knowing that most won\'t make the cut. You and the team would be tackling several of these problem statements at a time, arriving at answers within weeks, not months. In addition to design research and user testing, you should be comfortable rapidly building digital experiences in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript frameworks, preferably with the U.S. Web Design System or another Design System. Jamstack is a necessity, experience with static site generators like Eleventy, Jekyll, and Hugo is highly desired. You should be as comfortable building prototype code as production code, and know the difference as well as when to employ each. In a fast-moving project, you can balance the need to go deep versus going wide, directing efforts where they are most effective. You don\'t create documents and prototypes for the sake of producing them (though you\'re certainly adept in those skills); instead, you focus on efforts that move conversations forward. As someone who often straddles both design and development worlds, ambiguity should be your natural habitat (both in ideas and processes), but you seek to clarify where it counts. You\'ll be responsible for advocating for users every step of the way using human-centered design principles and an accessibility lens while participating in research efforts to test if we\'re solving the right problem, building the right thing, and meeting real needs. The project work is primarily remote but may require some client on-site work estimated at \< 10%. Your work will span rapid discovery, ideation, prototyping, and iterative validation, contributing directly to projects aimed at transforming public benefit delivery. Key responsibilities include: * Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to define hypotheses and problem statements, To view the full job description please use the link below. https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjQwNDE2Ljg3NzBAZmxleGlvbmNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply Online: https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=YmJnZW5lcmljLjQwNDE2Ljg3NzBAZmxleGlvbmNvbXAuYXBsaXRyYWsuY29t
