Founding Frontend Developer

Founding Frontend Developer – Equity-Based SaaS Opportunity

Wolf Web Designs is looking for a Founding Frontend Developer to join a new SaaS product currently being developed by our team.

The product, DocSeed, is a separate SaaS business venture being built under the Wolf Web Designs team. We already have a small team of three working across strategy, product, design, backend development and business direction, and we are now looking for the right frontend developer to help bring the platform to life.

This is an equity-based startup opportunity, not a standard paid employment, contractor or casual role within Wolf Web Designs. It is best suited to someone interested in joining an early-stage SaaS product as a founding frontend developer or technical co-founder style contributor.

The exact equity arrangement will be discussed with the right person based on their experience, expected contribution, responsibilities and long-term involvement.

About the Role

As the Founding Frontend Developer, you will be responsible for helping build the frontend interface for DocSeed. You will work closely with the backend developer and other team members to turn the product concept into a functional SaaS platform.

This role would suit someone who enjoys building clean, responsive and user-friendly web interfaces, working with APIs, and contributing to the technical direction of an early-stage product.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities may include:

• Building the frontend interface for DocSeed
• Creating clean, responsive and user-friendly SaaS layouts
• Translating product requirements, designs, wireframes or briefs into working frontend features
• Working with the backend developer to connect the frontend with backend APIs
• Building and refining product screens, dashboards, forms, user flows and account-based workflows
• Testing, improving and polishing frontend features as the product develops
• Communicating clearly about progress, blockers, timelines and technical decisions
• Providing input on product structure, usability and frontend technical direction

Required Skills and Experience

The ideal applicant will have:

• Strong frontend development experience
• Experience with Angular, highly preferred
• Strong understanding of JavaScript and/or TypeScript
• Experience with Node.js or modern JavaScript environments
• Experience working with APIs and connecting frontend interfaces to backend systems
• Ability to understand API documentation, requests, responses, authentication, error handling and data flow
• Understanding of responsive design, user interface structure and clean frontend development practices
• Ability to build SaaS-style interfaces such as dashboards, forms, user portals, admin areas and account-based workflows
• Ability to work from product briefs, wireframes, designs or functional requirements
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work alongside a backend developer
• Proof of previous frontend work, such as live projects, GitHub repositories, screenshots, demos or portfolio examples

Highly Desirable

It would also be highly regarded if you have:

• Experience building SaaS products, dashboards, portals, admin panels or web applications
• Understanding of authentication, user accounts, permissions, forms, databases and API-driven workflows
• Experience with other frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, Next.js or similar
• Startup experience or a genuine interest in early-stage product development
• Interest in contributing ideas beyond code, including UX, product flow and technical direction

Location

This opportunity can be completed remotely, although Perth-based applicants are highly welcomed.

Clear communication, reliability and availability for regular online meetings are essential.

Hours and Structure

This is a flexible, project-based opportunity depending on the stage of the build.

The expected time commitment will be discussed with the right person. This would best suit someone who can contribute consistently each week while the product is being built.

Important Note

This is an equity-based startup opportunity for DocSeed. It is not a paid employment position, contractor role or casual job with Wolf Web Designs.

Applicants should understand the risk and potential upside of joining an early-stage SaaS project and be interested in contributing with an ownership mindset.
