Job Description
Senior Frontend Engineer, Marketing Web
Descript, Inc.
• Set the technical direction for the CMS and component system — clear architectural boundaries, consistent guardrails, and a foundation that lets marketing and design move fast without fragility • Enhance and maintain a release and QA discipline: rollback processes, staging environments, and deployment confidence • Own Core Web Vitals and page speed performance as a first-class concern — and help connect them to measurable conversion rate impact • Own analytics instrumentation and event taxonomy governance — the technical source of truth for what's happening across the funnel • Build reusable components and page patterns that make new landing pages and campaigns quick to stand up without one-off engineering lifts • Maintain and extend A/B testing setup so Marketing team can run clean experiments on those pages at velocity • Partner with Brand, Design, and Marketing to translate campaigns, landing pages, and brand work into production web code — fast, pixel-faithful, and performant • Own the technical quality of what ships: accessibility, Core Web Vitals, SEO fundamentals (schema, rendering, structured data), and cross-browser/device behavior • Be the engineering partner Marketing, Growth, and GTM teams rely on to move fast without breaking the pipeline • Enable self-serve content workflows through CMS so creative teams can publish without engineering bottlenecks • Collaborate with GTM and Rev Ops to maintain guardrails on form and routing decisions that affect lead flow reliability
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a meaningful amount of it focused on web frontend or marketing engineering
- Experience working with a headless CMS or visual editor (Contentful, Builder.io, Webflow, or similar)
- Solid foundation in HTML and CSS — you understand the DOM, can debug layout issues without a framework crutch, and take accessibility (a11y) seriously
- Strong command of TypeScript/JavaScript and React — you write clean, maintainable code and you care about the difference
- Hands-on experience with Next.js — you understand SSR, SSG, ISR, and when to use which
- Deep familiarity with web performance: Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse, lazy loading, bundle optimization
- Comfort with full-stack work: REST APIs, serverless functions, data pipelines, and integrations with third-party services
- Systems thinker who can hold the big picture (platform strategy, cross-functional dependencies) and the details (a broken event tag, a slow LCP) at the same time
- Strong communicator: you can translate technical constraints into plain language for marketing and GTM stakeholders, and you know when to push back.
Benefits
- generous healthcare package
- 401k matching program
- catered lunches
- flexible vacation time
