Senior Front-End Developer - Vue.js & AI (Canada Remote)

Join our team at Carelancer. Carelancer is a growing startup with a live product and real user traction. We are looking for a Front-End Developer with a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience building and scaling production-level applications. This is a role for a developer who wants to play a key role in shaping and delivering the next phases of our product. You'll collaborate directly with our Product Manager and a small engineering team, taking direct ownership of front-end architecture, technical decisions, and core components across our platform. In this role, you won't just maintain existing features; you'll identify gaps, propose solutions, and establish the front-end best practices that will support our future team as we grow. Key Responsibilities Active Development: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality web applications (SPA & PWA) using Vue.js (Vue 3). Architecture: Lead improvements and bring structure to a fast-moving product. Optimization: Optimize for speed, performance, and scalability across various devices and browsers. Integration: Carry out front-end and back-end integration (REST API) and manage client-side storage. Collaboration: Translate Figma wireframes and prototypes into interactive web interfaces. Mobile Execution: Use Quasar and Capacitor/Cordova to build, convert, and maintain mobile versions of our applications across iOS and Android. AI & Technical Leadership AI integration ownership: Lead the evaluation and adoption of AI tools across our front-end stack, from development workflows to product features that directly serve our users. Hands-on AI experience: Apply practical experience with LLMs, AI-assisted development, or intelligent workflow automation to real product problems, not just experiments. Technical direction: Help define where and how AI fits into our platform. You will have a direct say in what we build, not just how we build it. Team standard-setting: Establish AI and front-end best practices that scale with us as the team grows. The patterns you set today will shape how the next engineers onboard. We use AI tools in our day-to-day work and are actively building toward deeper integration across our product and operations. This role will have real influence in shaping that direction. Requirements (Must Have) Hands-on Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience building and deploying production-ready Vue.js applications (Vue 3). Technical Proficiency: Expert knowledge of HTML, CSS, jQuery, and TailwindCSS. Logic & State: Deep, practical understanding of Vue state management and Vue Routers. Security: Experience integrating RESTful APIs with authentication, authorization, and content security. Tools: Proficiency with Git for version control and JIRA for project management. Quality Control: Proven ability to debug and write unit tests for production environments. Mobile: Hands-on experience building and maintaining mobile applications using Quasar and Capacitor/Cordova, including deployment to iOS and Android platforms. AI in production: Demonstrated experience using AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude, LLM APIs) in a shipped product or workflow, not just personal projects. Leadership mindset: Proven ability to drive technical decisions, set direction for peers, and take ownership of outcomes without waiting to be told what to do next. Comfort with ambiguity: Experience making sound technical calls in fast-moving environments where the right answer isn't always clear up front. Nice to Have Hands-on experience with Laravel (PHP Framework). Experience with Docker and containerization. Knowledge of HATEOAS and experience deploying to Google Play/Apple App Stores. Experience with large-scale front-end migrations or refactors (e.g. Vue 2 → Vue 3 or framework transitions). Benefits & Work Details Job Type: Full-time. Schedule: Monday to Friday. Location: 100% Remote. Compensation: Competitive salary based on your hands-on experience level. Benefits: Extended health care, Life insurance, EAP, and limited RRSP match. Environment: Fast-paced startup - you'll wear multiple hats and have real influence from day one. Ready to build the future of care? Apply now!
