Company mission
To provide the tools and infrastructure engineers need to deliver mission-critical capabilities at scale in the shortest time possible.
Role
Who you are
- You know CSS deeply (layout, responsive design, animation, modern best practices). You have opinions on BEM, CSS Modules, Tailwind, and CSS-in-JS
- You love figuring out how to build challenging and interesting ideas with JavaScript
- You have a strong feel for visual design: hierarchy, spacing, grids, typography, color, motion. You notice when something feels off by 2px. You care about performance, accessibility, and generally making things feel right
- You probably have a folder of screenshots / bookmarks of sites you love
- You’re comfortable taking a rough idea or Figma sketch and turning it into a polished, production-ready experience. You enjoy being both the designer and the front-end engineer
- You’re proud of your personal site or portfolio and how it’s built
- You like in-person collaboration. You want to sit with the people you work with, bounce ideas in real time, and iterate quickly
- Experience owning or leading a marketing website
- Deep knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Strong experience building modern marketing or content-focused websites
- Strong attention to detail and visual polish
- Strong design sensibility or experience working directly with designers
- Familiarity with modern animation or interaction techniques
- Framer Motion, Anime.js, Lottie, etc
- Experience and strong opinions on design systems
- Experience with modern frontend tooling (React, modern bundlers, component systems). Maybe you dabble with APIs
- Experience with:
- Headless CMS and working with APIs
- Server rendering, static generation, and classic HTML
- SEO best practices
- Optimizing Core Web Vitals
- Accessibility standards
- Analytics
What the job involves
- Join Nominal as a Frontend Engineer who loves the craft of the web: someone who still gets a kick out of laying out a page, nudging pixels, writing elegant CSS, and shipping experiences that feel surprisingly “alive.” This is for someone who wants to design and build unique, playful, deeply considered web experiences, side‑by‑side with founders and a small senior team
- As we grow, our website plays a critical role in how we tell our story, communicate our product value, and engage new customers
- We’re looking for someone to own and evolve Nominal’s marketing website, working closely with design and marketing to deliver best-in-class web experiences
- Own the development of Nominal’s marketing website end-to-end. You’ll take our existing site and make it *sing*
- Craft immersive, scroll-driven stories with live workflows, interactive demos, and rich visuals that make people *feel* the product. You’ll help define how we talk about and present Nominal to the world
- Design & build bespoke launch experiences: Create dedicated pages for big product launches (e.g., our upcoming “Procedures” launch)
- Experiment with new patterns, narrative structures, and ways of explaining complex ideas visually
- Collaborate in-person with a small team
- Design (creative direction, iteration, UI polish)
- Marketing & Product Marketing (messaging, site structure, content)
- Engineering (code quality, performance standards)
- Working on challenging engineering problems
- Translate design concepts into production-quality, delightful, web-based experiences
- Build and iterate on content-driven, high-performance web pages
- Tune layout, typography, motion, and micro-interactions so the site feels deliberate and premium
- Design content workflows using a headless CMS and external APIs
- Optimise for SEO, AI integration, and analytics instrumentation
- Rapidly prototype, test, and refine ideas—from concept to launch
- Jam at the whiteboard, prototype quickly, and ship fast—often same‑day. You’ll use tools like Claude Code to move from idea → prototype → polished experience with very little friction
Our take
Whilst leading workflow platforms such as Monday and Basecamp are designed for general use, teams in more specific industries may benefit from experiences designed for their sector. Nominal has built a data analysis platform and workflow system tailored to the needs of engineering teams managing complex machines in industries such as aerospace and defense.
Nominal’s platform caters to engineering teams who develop, validate and monitor hardware, enabling them to build observability and control over mission-critical machines. It automates routine tasks and streamlines collaboration between team members, ensuring that all stages of a machine’s development have rigorous oversight.
Having only come out of stealth in 2024, Nominal’s path to market has been accelerated by several rounds of funding. This will be used to expand operations and business reach as it attempts to cut into a competitive market. With its target audience pitch well articulated, the company has become the fastest-growing software platform in hardware development with 6X customer growth across aerospace, defense, energy, robotics and manufacturing.
