Location: Remote USA Annual salary: $120,000 - $150,000 USD (Final base salary within this range will be determined based on job-related factors, including the candidate’s experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location) Type: 3 month contract with potential for FTE conversion Reports to: Engineering Manager The Role Join a small, ambitious team where your work shapes how customers first discover and fall in love with our product.

You'll be a frontend-first engineer who owns and evolves our marketing site — the CMS powering our pages, the component library keeping our UI consistent, the performance and the polish that makes every visit feel intentional. This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in a well-maintained, well-crafted web presence; who notices when something's a pixel off, when a page loads a tad too slow, or when the content publishing workflow could be half as painful with a smarter setup. What makes this role special is the ownership and the visibility.

You'll work directly with designers, marketers, and leadership — close enough to understand the why behind every build, and trusted enough to run with it. You'll be the person who keeps the lights on beautifully — iterating on the design system, improving the content publishing pipeline, and making sure our public-facing web experience is always in great shape. Your work will be live, visible, and experienced by millions of visitors.

If you care deeply about frontend craft, love the intersection of design and code, and want to be the person a whole team relies on to make things look and work brilliantly — let's talk.

What You'll Do - Own and evolve our marketing site — the CMS, the component library, the frontend architecture, and the analytics integrations that tell us how it's all performing. This is yours to steward and improve.

• Collaborate with Design and Marketing to build and maintain customer-facing web experiences — landing pages, campaign builds, and commerce integrations — that are polished, performant, and on-brand.
• Partner with Design, Marketing, and Publishing to keep our content publishing pipeline smooth — so the team can move fast without depending on engineering for every update.
• Build and maintain lightweight integrations and tooling — connecting third-party services, CX tools, and external APIs — that make the broader team more productive.
