- As a Senior UX Engineer at Netlify, you'll join a team of sharp, motivated, and genuinely kind people on the UX team made up of product and brand designers, researchers, developers, and technical writers
- We value builders who roll up their sleeves, own it, and ship it. Tools we use include Astro, Sanity, Figma, React, Netlify to build Netlify, and more. It’s more important that you have a solid foundation as a web developer than knowing about every framework or tool
- Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, developers, and stakeholders to define and evolve the user story that bridges brand and product

Application process
- When applying please include:
- A resume or short listing of your job history & skills (link to a LinkedIn profile would be fine). We appreciate a cover letter explaining why you would enjoy working in this role at Netlify to get to know you a bit better, though this is not required and will not impact your application. Our mission is to “build a better web” and that cannot be done without a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds and thoughts
Our take
Servers have been essential to web development since the rise of the internet, but advancements in online infrastructure are causing them to become antiquated. This has resulted in a demand for an alternative to servers that is easier to deploy and scale on today’s web.
Netlify provides a platform that takes care of back-end infrastructure for front-end developers. The technology uses a new server architecture named Jamstack which migrates development functionality to a web browser. As a result, websites can be rendered directly through API microservices instead of calling servers.
The company has more than 4 million developers, and continues to focus on scaling its enterprise customer roster which currently includes Google, Facebook and Unilever. It has also adapted to support developers in the AI age, supplying extensions for observability and prerender, as well as an AI Gateway.
