## Description

We're looking for a Senior Web Developer who takes immense pride in their craft. As a Senior Web Developer at Starburst, you will own the front-end, manage the back-end (currently WordPress), and ensure every pixel and every line of code serves our mission.

You'll partner with our Creative, Growth, and Marketing teams to ship work that moves the needle and creates great experiences for our users.

Key responsibilities include:

- Developing and maintaining a responsive, interactive, and user-friendly web presence

- Ensuring our site is lightning-fast and optimized for technical SEO

- Collaborating closely with our Brand and Design teams to translate UI/UX visions into living, breathing web pages

- Implementing A/B tests and analytics tracking to help our Growth team understand what's working and what's not

- Keeping our marketing stack (CRM, Analytics, Email) humming by ensuring seamless integrations with the site

- Acting as the gatekeeper for brand guidelines, accessibility (WCAG) standards, and data privacy

Some of the things we look for in a candidate include:

- 5+ years of experience in front-end or full-stack web development, specifically within a high-growth B2B SaaS or tech environment

- Mastery of the Fundamentals: Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript

- CMS Expertise: Significant experience building and scaling sites on platforms like WordPress (our current home), but a working knowledge of headless options (Contentful, Sanity) for the future

- Modern Frameworks: Proficiency with (or a deep interest in) React, Next.js, or similar frameworks as we look toward our future tech stacks

- The 'Builder' Mindset: You are proactive. You don't wait for a ticket to fix a bug; you see a friction point and you solve it

- Design Sensibility: You actually care about how things look. You understand padding, typography, and why a specific animation makes the UX feel 'premium'

- Collaboration Skills: You can explain technical trade-offs to a marketer and brand strategy to a dev, while keeping projects moving forward
