Jobs at We Know Training (Now Hiring) — 3 open

Contract Front-End Developer
We Know Training (WKT), Edmonton, AB, In-office, Contract Position

We Know Training is looking for a Contract Front-End Developer to join our Marketing team on a temporary contract basis, based in our Edmonton office. You’ll help maintain and improve the marketing websites for our ReadyEngine platform products, make updates to our RapidLMS storefronts using RapidLMS’s proprietary CMS, and pitch in on other front-end work as it comes up. The marketing sites are modern Next.js projects managed in Git, so much of your work happens in code and pull requests, while storefront updates are handled through the RapidLMS CMS.

We’re also in the process of adding Sanity’s headless CMS to improve content management on our ReadyEngine sites, so there’s a real chance to help shape how that gets rolled out.

This is a great fit if you’re early in your career, or on a break from school, and you want hands-on experience on production websites that people actually use. You’ll work closely with our in-house designer/developer, take real ownership of the tasks you’re given, and sharpen your skills across a modern front-end stack.

This role is open to Edmonton-based candidates only. We prefer someone who can work from our office, but a primarily remote arrangement with occasional in-office meetings is possible for the right person.

If that sounds like a good fit, apply now. Please include a brief cover letter with your resume.
