Ask a question

What you’ll do

Support frontend tasks: small React/Next.js components, styling with Tailwind, and loading/error states under review.
Assist UI/UX work: wireframe tweaks, Figma component updates, spacing/type checks, and screenshot-based QA against live pages.
Document bugs and UX issues clearly (steps to reproduce, screenshots, suggested priority).
Pair with the frontend developer on PRs: learn git flow, linting, and how we structure App Router pages.

Pair with the UI/UX designer on flows: map simple user journeys and propose improvements for student-level scope.

Help test careers, enquiry, and showroom paths on mobile and desktop before releases.

Keep design files and dev notes organised in shared drives; follow naming and handoff conventions.

What we’re looking for

Studying or recently completed computer science, design, IT, or related—or strong self-taught portfolio.
Basic HTML/CSS; exposure to React or Figma (either is fine to start—we mentor the other).
Curious, reliable, and comfortable asking questions; accepts code/design review feedback.
Able to commit to agreed part-time hours for at least one university term (or equivalent).

Nice to have

TypeScript or Next.js tutorials completed; personal GitHub with small projects.
Figma make/components practice; interest in automotive or retail products.
Accessibility awareness (contrast, focus states, form labels).

How hiring works

Apply
CV plus GitHub, Figma, or portfolio links (student projects welcome).
Intro call
Discuss study load, hours, and whether you lean dev, design, or both.
Small exercise
Optional short task: tiny UI fix mockup or a 1–2 hour component exercise.
Start
Agree supervisor, hours, and first-month learning goals.

What you’ll get

Build real product used daily by staff and customers—not slide decks or throwaway prototypes.
Modern stack: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, and Radix/shadcn UI.
Small-team influence: your work ships to production and improves showroom, workshop, and enquiry flows.
Flexible remote/hybrid arrangement where possible (Melbourne on-site for key workshops when needed).
Mentorship across both frontend and UX—not siloed into one track unless you prefer to specialise later.
Portfolio-worthy shipped contributions when scope allows (with approval).
