📋 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.

🎯 Requirements

• 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.
