Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in front-end or full-stack web development, specifically within a high-growth B2B SaaS or tech environment
- Mastery of the Fundamentals: Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript
- CMS Expertise: Significant experience building and scaling sites on platforms like WordPress (our current home), but a working knowledge of headless options (Contentful, Sanity) for the future
- Modern Frameworks: Proficiency with (or a deep interest in) React, Next.js, or similar frameworks as we look toward our future tech stacks
- The "Builder" Mindset: You are proactive. You don't wait for a ticket to fix a bug; you see a friction point and you solve it
- Design Sensibility: You actually care about how things look. You understand padding, typography, and why a specific animation makes the UX feel "premium."
- Collaboration Skills: You can explain technical trade-offs to a marketer and brand strategy to a dev, while keeping projects moving forward
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Web Developer who takes immense pride in their craft
- You won't just be "maintaining" a site; you’ll be owning it
- You are the bridge between a beautiful design concept and a high-performance reality
- You’ll own the front-end, manage the back-end (currently WordPress), and ensure every pixel and every line of code serves our mission
- You’ll partner with our Creative, Growth, and Marketing teams to ship work that moves the needle and creates great experiences for our users
- Own the Experience: Develop and maintain a responsive, interactive, and user-friendly web presence. You’ll handle everything from layout tweaks to deep technical functionality
- Performance & SEO: Ensure our site is lightning-fast and optimized for technical SEO. You understand that a millisecond of lag is a lost opportunity
- Design Partnership: Collaborate closely with our Brand and Design teams to translate UI/UX visions into living, breathing web pages. You have an eye for detail and won't settle for "close enough."
- Optimization & Growth: Implement A/B tests and analytics tracking to help our Growth team understand what’s working and what’s not
- Technical Integration: Keep our marketing stack (CRM, Analytics, Email) humming by ensuring seamless integrations with the site
- Quality & Standards: Act as the gatekeeper for brand guidelines, accessibility (WCAG) standards, and data privacy. You test thoroughly because you care about the user’s journey
- Future-Proofing: While we’re on a stable stack now, you’ll help us evaluate and eventually migrate to new technologies when the time is right
