• Provide technical leadership on complex builds involving HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including custom interactions, responsive design, and cross-platform compatibility.

• Guide development in Storyline and other authoring tools as needed, ensuring builds meet technical standards and best practices.

• Champion the use of AI coding tools and workflows to increase development speed, consistency, and code quality across the team.

• Establish and enforce coding standards, QA processes, and best practices for custom development work.

• Troubleshoot and resolve advanced technical issues escalated from the development team.

• Collaborate with Instructional Design, UI/UX, and Project Management to ensure technical feasibility and timeline alignment.

• Evaluate new tools, frameworks, and AI-assisted development platforms to keep the team's practices current.

• Support hiring, onboarding, and skill development for developers on the team.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on front-end development experience; portfolio or work samples demonstrating HTML/CSS/JS expertise and visual design sensibility.

• Formal education in a related field is a plus but not required — we're prioritizing demonstrated skill and experience.

• 2+ years in a development management or team lead role, ideally within eLearning or a related digital production environment.

• Expert-level proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Keen eye for visual design and UI polish.

• Demonstrated experience using AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to increase development speed and output.

• Strong understanding of eLearning development standards, including responsive design and accessibility.

• Ability to review code and provide technical mentorship to developers at varying skill levels.

• Excellent communication skills — able to translate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience with version control (Git) and modern development workflows.

• Understanding of SCORM & xAPI (Tin Can).

Preferred

• Background in custom eLearning development for enterprise or corporate clients.

• Experience with coding frameworks such as Node/React or similar.
