About this role
Evil Martians are looking for a fully remote Frontend Engineer to join our distributed team. What We Offer $75K – $113K gross annual salary. Remote-first: 19+ years of remote and async work ; we hire globally, with at least 3 hours of overlap with Pacific Time required. 34-39 days each year (depending on location, including holidays), parental leave (3-6 months), health insurance, laptop reimbursement. Optional relocation support to Portugal after a probation period. Business impact: Work in a small, dedicated team, collaborating directly with startup founders and CTOs. Instead of closing tickets, you shape products, solve real user problems, and create measurable business value. Architectural impact: You lead technical decisions, especially when working on greenfield projects, proposing stack choices, shaping architecture, and solving real problems alongside founders. Transparent finances and revenue sharing. Open source culture (We created PostCSS, Autoprefixer, Browserslist, Nanostores, and many other popular projects ). Support for conference speaking and professional growth. Most of our team can code, including founders, managers, and designers. Who Fits This Position You aren’t just a JS developer, but also love and respect CSS, UX, and design. You build polished, thoughtful UI. You are driven to understand the “why” behind your work. For you, engineering is about helping people and businesses succeed. You understand the processes of a modern startup. You’ve worked inside at least one English-speaking company or product team, and you know how they plan, ship, and communicate. You’ve been a “manager of one” for a client or stakeholder: clarifying requirements, pushing back when needed, driving scope from fuzzy concept to shippable reality. You’re a master of your own time with proactive communication and a deep appreciation for clear, timely written updates. You don’t just follow tutorials or hype; you learn your tools very deeply and enjoy understanding how frameworks, LLMs, and the browser actually work. You have strong written and spoken English and feel comfortable understanding and communicating nuances in client calls. Russian is a big plus for internal communication. How to Apply Don’t send us a standard CV. Send us an email to obey-frontend@evilmartians.com with your full name as the email subject. Applications sent via Hire us button or not following these instructions will be indefinitely discarded. In your email: UI work you’re most proud of. We’re looking for examples of meticulous polish (“every little detail”), crazy optimizations, or cases where you went beyond the requirements. Explain the small details and why you’re proud of them. Illustrate them with a link to the UI, or at least a video or screenshots . Your past experience, highlight your experience working with English-speaking teams . Your consultancy story: share a story about running a startup, making business decisions, or communicating among different stakeholders. For example, describe a time you solved a communication problem inside a company. Which apps with good and non-standard UI design are role models for you, and why? Use Amie as one of your examples. What are you excited about in the near future of software? For example, a new CSS spec, better tooling integration, etc. What gets you excited in tech ? Start your answer with “Honestly,”. Tell us how you use LLMs and ML, and how you do control LLMs . Your location . You must work in a territory that is not currently under any sanctions by the USA. Links to open source work, talks, workshops, meetups, or writing —these give you bonus points in the process. Even if you don’t have open source, add your GitHub account, we will need it later. Tell us about yourself : what your main area of interest in software is, and how you became a frontend developer. Add your GitHub user name even if you have empty account (we may need it later). Put some effort into writing this email. Include as many con…
