- 5+ years of experience developing modern web applications and marketing websites
- Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript, with deep experience using frameworks such as React (or similar)
- Proven ability to build responsive, accessible, and performant interfaces, applying WCAG guidelines, SEO best practices, and front-end optimization techniques
- Experience integrating and maintaining CMS, analytics, and experimentation platforms (e.g., Webflow, AEM, Adobe Analytics)
- Collaborative mindset with experience translating design and marketing goals into reusable, scalable front-end systems
- Working knowledge of modern build pipelines and deployment workflows, including tools like Webpack, Vite, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins
- Strong ownership and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and articulate technical trade-offs to non-technical partners
- Experience contributing to or scaling design systems across multiple teams and surfaces
- Familiarity with advanced experimentation, personalization, and marketing automation frameworks that extend or integrate across CMS and analytics systems
- Exposure to backend technologies (Node.js, Python, or similar) and RESTful API integrations
- Experience implementing localization and internationalization workflows to support global audiences
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects with clear communication and thoughtful prioritization
