MorphMarket.com is an online marketplace connecting breeders and keepers of exotic pets like lizards, geckos, snakes, and spiders. We cater to a passionate user base dedicated to these unique animals. We are seeking a hybrid Designer & Front-End Engineer to join our distributed team.

Role & Responsibilities:
We're looking for someone who bridges the gap between design and front-end implementation. You will be responsible for identifying and fixing design inconsistencies, producing quick designs/mockups for feedback, implementing layout changes using CSS and React, and helping establish our visual language.

Key responsibilities include:
- Detecting and correcting design inconsistencies (alignment, fonts, spacing etc.).
- Creating wireframes or mockups using tools like Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, or others for team feedback.
- Writing, debugging, and implementing CSS to translate designs into our codebase.
- Utilizing React skills to adjust and structure front-end components.
- Leading the effort to identify canonical UX components and build a design inventory/system to improve team coordination on design.
- Contributing opinions on good UX practices and identifying useful patterns from other applications.

Ideal Candidate:
- Possesses a keen eye ("spider-sense") for design details and inconsistencies.
- Proficient in at least one design/wireframing tool.
- Strong CSS skills and debugging capabilities.
- Sufficient React knowledge to implement UI changes.
- Experience or interest in creating/maintaining design systems or component libraries.
- Holds informed opinions about user experience design and actively observes design patterns.

Work Culture:
- Fully remote team distributed across Europe, Asia, and USA.
- Communication is primarily asynchronous and written (Slack).
- Requires overlap for ~2 hours daily for team synchronization.
- Strong emphasis on learning, team education, and professional development.
- Fridays dedicated to tech debt and skill improvement ("sharpening the saw").
- Collaborative and friendly environment (~15 product team members, ~25 total staff).

This is a part-time role offering 20-40 hours per week.
