Jobs in Portland, OR

About the role

At Cast Iron, we seek profit for human ends, rather than for its own sake. In practice, that means we take work-life balance seriously and believe that maximizing employee well-being also maximizes the quality of our work. We take a deliberate approach to project management that aims to support our designers and developers without reducing them to issue-closing cogs in a machine. For twenty years we've been trying to build an agency that balances the needs of its owners, its clients, and its employees. It's a never-ending project, and one we're proud to still be working at.

What you'll bring

• 1+ year working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Experience building an application with a JavaScript framework
• Strong written communication skills
• Curiosity about how an application is put together (where its data comes from, what happens on the server, why a page is structured the way it is)
• You may have some of these, and you may develop others here.
• Familiarity with the current JavaScript landscape including tooling, libraries, frameworks, and design patterns
• Experience with TypeScript, or interest in learning it
• Experience with server-side JavaScript and the server-rendering capabilities of frameworks like Astro, TanStack Start, or Next.js
• Comfort working in an application's data layer: queries, caching, loading and error states
• Familiarity with React
• Familiarity with GraphQL
• Some exposure to backend code, in any language, to have productive discussions with our backend team
