• Act as a bridge between the marketing web team and our security and infrastructure groups — surfacing needs, sharing context, and facilitating cross-functional improvements through implementation and thorough documentation
• Lead projects end-to-end—maintaining timelines, stakeholder expectations, ticket triaging, and regularly presenting with teammates and leadership
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to other engineers on the team
• Mentor team members, support new hires during onboarding, and provide technical guidance to technical and non-technical collaborators
• Create and maintain comprehensive testing strategies and make recommendations for the latest web technologies and improvements

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 5+ years of development experience using React, Node.js HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Typescript
• 3+ years of development experience in frameworks (NextJS, Gatsby), and headless content management systems (Sanity, Contentful)
• Experience with QA and testing, server rendered and statically generated sites
• Understanding of site security, database operation/management, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD strategy and deployment processes

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• Demonstrable understanding of conversion rate optimization standard methodologies, using A/B testing to achieve results
• Experience working on SEO-driven projects, localization, performance optimization & experimentation
