Full job description

- Implement marketing website components, layouts, and pages to a high standard of HTML semantics, CSS quality, accessibility, performance, and visual polish.

- Translate Figma designs into production web output, partnering with designers to refine responsive behavior, spacing, type, hierarchy, motion, and interaction details before and during implementation.

- Own the quality bar for production web output, including reviewing work produced by other team members and helping establish standards, patterns, and reusable components.

- Build custom interactive components - including Web Components and vanilla JavaScript modules - where the intersection of design craft and engineering is required.

- Implement simple motion and animation as part of component and page work (e.g., CSS transitions, menu fade-ins, hover and focus states, lightweight interactions).

- Contribute to our Next.js applications and shared component library (via Webflow DevLink) to keep design and behavior consistent across the marketing site and custom web apps.

- Diagnose and resolve front-end issues using browser DevTools, including layout, rendering, performance, accessibility, and cross-browser problems.

- Optimize Core Web Vitals and page load performance, including responsive image strategies, resource hints, render-blocking mitigation, script loading, and minimizing layout shift.

- Implement accessibility best practices, including semantic HTML, heading structure, focus management, keyboard interaction, reduced-motion considerations, and appropriate ARIA usage.

- Implement and QA A/B tests, personalization experiences, and conversion optimization experiments in partnership with marketing stakeholders.

- Help reduce fragile one-off implementations by creating durable, reusable patterns and clear standards across components, layouts, and interactions.

- Partner with the Content and Demand Gen teams as a technical resource for advanced layout, component, and interaction questions.

- Contribute to the architecture and reusable patterns that underpin the marketing stack, including component design, CSS variable systems, and interaction patterns.

- Make pragmatic trade-off decisions that balance design intent, engineering quality, timeline, and business impact.

- 8+ years of professional experience building production web interfaces at the intersection of design and front-end engineering.

- Deep proficiency in semantic HTML and modern CSS, including grid, flexbox, custom properties, container queries, logical properties, and the full selector vocabulary.

- Strong visual eye, with the ability to translate Figma designs faithfully and to identify and refine issues with spacing, type, hierarchy, alignment, imagery, interaction states, and responsive behavior.

- Working proficiency in JavaScript, including the ability to author Web Components and small interactive modules without a framework.

- Practical understanding of web accessibility (WCAG), implemented as a matter of craft rather than checklist.

- Strong understanding of Core Web Vitals and front-end performance, including image optimization, resource prioritization, layout stability, and the critical rendering path.

- Comfort working in visual web authoring tools (e.g., Webflow) in addition to code editors, with a pragmatic view of choosing the right tool for the job.

- Fluency in browser DevTools for layout, performance, accessibility, and network debugging.

- Familiarity with Figma as a source of truth for design handoff.

- Strong understanding of SEO-relevant implementation considerations, including semantic structure, metadata, heading hierarchy, crawlable content, and content visibility.

- Excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate across design, engineering, content, and marketing functions.

- Ability to challenge implementation approaches constructively and explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
