Frontend Specialist

Location: Ghent (Hybrid or Onsite)

Company: Alkmist – Audit Collaboration Reimagined

Experience: 3+ years (or exceptional demonstrated ability, you can be 17 or 47 years old)

Type: Full-time | Equity Available

Alkmist is transforming the way auditors and clients collaborate. We're building the most intuitive, behaviorally intelligent audit collaboration platform on the planet — already trusted by thousands across 28+ countries. Now, we’re hiring a Frontend Specialist to bring our vision to life on screen.

You’ll take beautiful, thoughtful UI designs and turn them into fast, fluid, responsive experiences using htmx, Tailwind CSS, and DaisyUI — all rendered server-side via template based rendering using Jinja, the backend itself is written in Rust.

Your mission: create delightful interfaces that influence behavior. Leverage behavioral science nudges, real-time feedback, and subtle gamification to guide users through complex tasks with clarity, ease, and confidence.

This isn't just “shipping buttons.” You’re designing how enterprise software feels — and it should feel damn good.

• Build and refine dynamic, SSR interfaces using htmx, TailwindCSS, DaisyUI and JavaScript for client side interaction.
• Translate Figma (or similar) designs into pixel-perfect, performant frontend implementations
• Implement behavioral nudges and UX flows grounded in psychology and gamification
• Deliver smooth animations and transitions that reinforce feedback loops
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend (Rust) teams to continuously evolve UX
• Contribute to design discussions, frontend architecture, and test coverage (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, BrowserStack)
• Setup end-to-end testing of the frontend, making sure that our frontend stays consistently awesome and functional
• Participate in usability testing and product ideation — this is not a handoff role

• 3–5 years of experience building modern frontends (or show us something brilliant)
• Strong command of TailwindCSS, htmx, DaisyUI, or similar component libraries
• Deep understanding of UI/UX patterns, frontend performance, and client-server interaction
• Passion for behavioral science, gamification, or nudging user behavior
• Ability to design elegant flows that feel effortless and guide users intuitively
• Bonus points for:
• Familiarity with Rust or server-side rendering
• Experience with frontend testing tools (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Puppeteer)
• An eye for motion and animation (GSAP, Framer Motion, or CSS-based)
• 🎨 Design/UX experience, especially with Figma — if you can help shape the UI and user flow itself, we’re all ears

Alkmist is an audit client collaboration platform with one goal: make audit work better — for everyone. We eliminate the friction in PBC list coordination, automate manual busywork, and use behavioral design + AI to keep projects on track.

We're proudly based in Ghent (Graslei), growing fast, and ISO 27001 certified. Today, we support 2,400+ users in 28+ countries — and we’re just getting started.

• 📍 Beautiful Ghent office (Graslei) — work in person or hybrid
• 💼 Equity – meaningful ownership in what we build
• ⚡ Decision Power – influence product direction & strategy from Day 1
• 🧠 Autonomy – grow into any role, wear multiple hats, shape how we build
• 🧪 Behavioral science culture – we test, we learn, we iterate
• 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 No egos – only strong arguments and better solutions
• 🧘 Flexible time off, wellness-first mindset

You’re obsessive about making interfaces feel magical. You see UX not just as UI polish, but as a critical behavioral lever. You care deeply about how people use software and why. You're hands-on, fast, and not afraid to question the status quo.

If you're looking for a seat at the table, not just a ticket in the queue — let’s talk.

We love portfolios, playgrounds, and GitHub links. If you've created something smooth, thoughtful, or just plain delightful, send it over. We’re hiring for talent, not tenure.
