Web Developer, Contract

What You'll Do

• Deploy and manage production releases (monitoring builds, diagnosing failures, optimizing build pipelines)
• Update and manage content through our CMS, with a solid understanding of publish/draft states and preview link behavior
• Implement copy and design updates
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, production-ready pages and components
• Maintain and update the web checkout flow
• Handle web analytics and attribution integrations
• Run A/B tests
• Handle integrations with our email marketing CRM, map provider, and more
• Proactively address performance issues — image optimization, build efficiency, and page load improvements
• Implement and maintain SEO best practices (meta tags, robots directives, etc.)
• Identify and remediate security vulnerabilities promptly
• Stay on top of dependency maintenance, Dependabot alerts, and keeping the repo clean
• Be responsive to requests from cross-functional stakeholders (marketing, product, engineering)

What We're Looking For

• Strong proficiency with modern JavaScript/TypeScript and Next.js (or similar React frameworks)
• Experience with Vercel deployments and CI/CD pipelines
• Hands-on experience with headless CMS platforms like Sanity
• Familiarity with web security fundamentals — query injection, API key hygiene, env var security
• Experience with marketing analytics tools like Mixpanel, Google Ads, Meta, and demonstrated ability to implement web analytics beyond out-of-the-box implementations, such as the ability to set up custom event tracking, conversion tracking, and server-side data collection in a way that prioritizes user privacy and minimizes unnecessary third-party data exposure
• Proficiency working from Figma - able to extract specs, assets, and layout details and implement them faithfully in code
• A good eye for design and UX detail - you won’t be creating designs, but you should be able to catch inconsistencies or UX issues during implementation and flag them proactively
• Ability to independently review, test, and merge PRs with minimal hand-holding
• Security-minded mindset; previous experience with vulnerability remediation is a big plus
• Cross-browser compatibility experience (we have a significant private browser user base)
• Experience with image optimization workflows (WebP conversion, responsive images)
• Familiarity with Node.js version management and dependency tooling
