The front‑end developer will identify, design, and build editorial templates, as well as manage third‑party systems associated with the advertising and marketing products.

Partner with the Interim Publisher, CFO, and legal stakeholders to implement front‑end privacy controls and consent mechanisms in accordance with jurisdiction‑specific requirements provided by the Interim Publisher. Define product goals, map user flows and prototype interactions, and oversee the building process. Develop quality product prototypes. Partner closely with the lead developer on architecture, implementation, and code quality. Collaborate with the digital director, senior developer, and back‑end developers to produce designs with clean, performant, maintainable code. Keep tabs on best practices and trends in digital media to inform future projects to grow TNR’s audience. Communicate regularly with the product manager on project status, needs, and milestones.
