Junior Web Developer (Frontend & Creative)

Are you a creative, self-taught developer who enjoys building beautiful websites, turning ideas into functional interfaces, and solving technical problems?

We are Hivecepta, a tech studio building and scaling early-stage web products. We are looking for a junior web developer in Sri Lanka who combines technical skills with a strong eye for design, creativity, and attention to detail.

Your primary responsibility will be frontend development, including building responsive websites, improving user interfaces, creating landing pages, and translating Figma designs into working web products.

We especially value developers who can think visually, create engaging infographics, and turn complex information into clear, attractive designs.

What we're looking for:

• Familiarity with Figma and translating designs into responsive websites
• A creative eye for UI/UX, typography, colours, and visual layouts
• Ability to create or modify SVG graphics, illustrations, and infographics
• Ability to research, troubleshoot, and solve problems independently

Added advantages:

• Digital marketing, social media creatives, or content creation experience

We welcome self-taught developers, early-career professionals, and computer science students who can demonstrate practical skills and genuine creativity.

What we offer:

• Remote work in Sri Lanka
• Flexible working hours
• Direct involvement in real web products and creative projects
• Opportunities to work across frontend development, design, and infrastructure
• Zero traditional agency/client-account fluff

HOW TO APPLY:

Standard CV-only applications will be ignored.

Email hello@hivecepta.com with:

1. Your CV / resume
2. Your portfolio, GitHub profile, or examples of previous work
3. Your detailed answers to these three challenges:

Challenge 1 — Frontend Development

You receive a Figma design for a landing page that must look professional on both desktop and mobile. The design includes custom graphics, animations, and several sections.

Explain your step-by-step process for converting it into a fast, responsive, production-ready website. What technologies would you choose, how would you handle responsiveness, and how would you ensure the final result closely matches the design?

Challenge 2 — Creativity & Infographics

We want to create an infographic explaining how a small business can improve its online presence. The infographic must be visually attractive, easy to understand, and suitable for sharing on social media.

How would you approach this from concept to final design? Explain your visual layout, colour choices, tools, and how you would make the information engaging without overcrowding the design.

Challenge 3 — Problem Solving

You have deployed a website, but the mobile version looks broken, some images load slowly, and the layout appears differently across browsers.

Walk us through your exact debugging process. What would you inspect first, which tools would you use, and how would you identify and fix the problems?

We are interested in how you think, design, and solve problems — not just which technologies you list on your CV.
