Mid-Level Front-End Developer

Looking for Philippines-based candidates


Job Role: Front End / CMS Developer

Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $3,000 AUD / Monthly

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you'll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you'll be able to work from home.

Who The Client Is: The client is a growing digital delivery and solutions-focused business working with a range of clients across web, e-commerce, and custom digital platforms. They specialize in building modern, scalable websites and applications using headless architectures, CMS-driven solutions, and custom front-end development.

Operating within a fast-paced agency environment, the team collaborates across design, development, and project management to deliver high-quality digital experiences. They value clean code, adaptability, and developers who can confidently work across multiple projects while maintaining strong attention to detail and performance.

Role Overview: We're looking for a Mid-Level Front-End Developer who is confident in modern front-end development and comfortable working in a dynamic, agency-style environment.

In this role, you'll be responsible for building responsive, high-quality user interfaces while collaborating closely with designers, back-end developers, and project teams. You'll work across a mix of CMS-driven, headless, and custom builds, requiring both strong technical execution and the ability to adapt quickly across different projects and requirements.

This is ideal for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented, and enjoys solving real-world problems across multiple client engagements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build responsive, high-quality front-end interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks and tools (React, TypeScript, etc.)
• Translate UI/UX designs into clean, maintainable, and accessible front-end code
• Develop and maintain CMS-driven and headless website implementations
• Integrate front-end applications with APIs, back-end services, and third-party tools
• Collaborate with designers, back-end developers, and project managers across multiple client projects
• Ensure code quality, performance optimisation, and cross-browser compatibility
• Contribute to improving development workflows, standards, and best practices
