To empower everyone to take action on their data.
Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of experience in software/web engineering, with strong proficiency in React, CSS, and Next.js
- Demonstrated ability to build production-ready web applications in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent design taste and a keen eye for detail
- Proven experience with code-based animations (e.g., using Framer or Lottie) or experience collaborating with contractors on creative implementations
- Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with marketing, design, and data teams
- Deep understanding of SEO principles and best practices—especially around performance, accessibility, and search optimization
What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll partner closely with the marketing team to build, iterate, and maintain our public facing website (hightouch.com)
- Lead the design and implementation of marketing website projects such as new feature pages, blog revamps, and more
- Integrate CMS-powered interfaces (we use Sanity) that allow marketers to update content independently
- Build and maintain our design system to ensure we can continue to build with high velocity and high standards for UX
- Develop engaging animations that enhance product storytelling using technologies such as Lottie and Framer
- Exercise strong design judgment and attention to detail to ensure that every aspect of our site reinforces our brand identity
Application process
- Our interview process focuses on evaluating fit for the most important dimensions of the role: cross-functional collaboration, a strong sense of design and user experience, and experience building production frontend components
- Intro Call [15-30m]: Introductory call with either a member of our recruiting team or the hiring manager to get to know each other and see if the role could be a good mutual fit
- Past Project Exercise [45m]: Walk through previous projects (personal or professional) with your interviewer while highlighting big wins, challenges, and key decisions
- Technical Interview [90m]: Work with the interviewer to design, architect, and implement a complex frontend component
- Hiring Manager Interview [30m]: Chat with hiring manager about past experiences and future operating preferences to assess fit on company values and operating principles
Our take
The use of data integration software involves combining data from different sources to provide users with a unified view. Due to the growing need to combine several heterogeneous data sources, along with the rise of cloud computing, demand for effective data integration tools and services has been increasing.
While Fivetran is one of the most prominent platforms companies use to “extract, transform, and load” data into its warehouse, Hightouch does the opposite of that, what has become known as “reverse ETL.” For example, a company could use Fivetran to get the data into its warehouse and then use Hightouch to get the data from the warehouse and into Salesforce.
Hightouch serves a diverse range of clients, from B2B giants like Kong, Plaid, and Mattermost to B2C leaders like Nando's and Autotrader. With recent acquisitions including the product-led sales automation startup Workbase and the knowledge management startup Whatis, alongside an expanded partnership with Snowflake, Highlight continues to enhance its capabilities and provide seamless data activation for its growing customer base.
