Senior Web Developer

Description

• Build and maintain the company website on a modern headless CMS stack (Next.js, Sanity CMS, and Vercel), ensuring responsive design, solid performance, and a seamless user experience. • Take ownership of features and workstreams end-to-end, delivering complex work reliably and with attention to craft. • Collaborate closely with the Technical Lead and contribute thoughtfully to technical discussions and decisions. • Work within and help maintain our Sanity CMS content models, schemas, and editorial workflows to support scalable, efficient content operations. • Work closely with product, marketing, and engineering teams to integrate the website with product offerings. • Implement and maintain analytics, A/B testing, and tracking systems to assess website performance and support data-informed decisions. • Uphold web performance, accessibility, and SEO best practices, contributing to a high bar for Core Web Vitals and WCAG compliance across the site. • Build and integrate third-party services and APIs into the web stack, including analytics platforms, marketing tools, and GTM/data layer implementations. • Leverage AI-assisted development tools and workflows (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude) to enhance build quality, accelerate delivery, and explore smarter solutions. • Share knowledge and support teammates through collaboration and code review.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in web development, with hands-on professional experience in modern JavaScript frameworks, particularly Next.js (or comparable React-based frameworks). • Solid proficiency in Next.js, with working familiarity of App Router, rendering strategies (SSG, ISR, SSR), and Vercel deployment. • Experience with headless CMS platforms, ideally Sanity CMS — including working with schemas, GROQ queries, and structured content. • Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, with a solid understanding of the DOM, accessibility, and browser rendering. • Proven ability to build multi-platform components (mobile and web) that are cross-browser compatible and responsive across device sizes. • Experience building accessible (WCAG), performant (Core Web Vitals), and localization-ready web experiences. • Familiarity with integrating third-party APIs and services into a Next.js stack, including analytics, tracking, and marketing tools. • Comfortable with Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling, and experienced working within a component-based design system. • Comfortable with modern developer tooling: TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and component-based development. • Openness to and experience with AI-assisted development workflows — using tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar to improve efficiency and code quality, not just as novelty. • A collaborative working style with strong communication skills — someone who engages actively, takes direction well, and contributes their perspective as part of a team. • Good problem-solving instincts and attention to detail. • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship. • Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
