Hatch Creative Developer (contract/remote/full time)
The world’s most powerful medium for self-expression is also the least accessible. The web. We all use it, but few of us can create and play with it. No-code tools optimize for efficiency, not experimentation, placing limits on what we can create and how it can look. It’s no wonder that the web feels so dull.
Hatch is changing that. Hatch is a no-code wonderland that unlocks everyone’s creative genius, making the web a playground for innovation. And guess what? We’re just warming up! Soon we’ll spice things up with even more interactivity and smooth animations. We’re on a mission to become the go-to spot for discovering and crafting one-of-a-kind interactive gems. Join us and let’s make some web magic together!
We are looking for a Creative Developer who can help Hatch show the world what’s possible on the web. This is a person who can work with our content team to create projects, templates, and custom components that help people make and share fun, interactive designs. This is a person who can help bring new audiences to Hatch with fun, viral interactive projects (timely, funny, niche.) This is a person who can contribute to product development as a power user and supercreator.
Key responsibilities
- Collaborate with designers and non-technical team members to conceive, design, and develop innovative web-based interactions.
