Web Engineer

About the Role

The Web Engineering team owns our public website (hightouch.com), which is the face of our company and brand and one of the most important ways that customers and prospects learn about Hightouch. We’re looking for a talented senior web engineer who is passionate about crafting exceptional experiences and cares deeply about the story that we tell customers. As Hightouch continues to scale rapidly, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how we position and promote our new product offerings, including cutting edge advancements in marketing AI and ML.

In this role, you’ll partner closely with our marketing and design teams to build, iterate, and maintain our marketing website. Key responsibilities include:

• Lead the design, scoping, and implementation of marketing website projects such as new feature pages, blog revamps, and more
• Integrate CMS-powered interfaces (we use Sanity) that allow marketers to update content independently
• Build and maintain our design system to ensure we can continue to build with high velocity and high standards for UX
• Develop engaging animations that enhance product storytelling using technologies such as Motion and GSAP
• Exercise strong design judgment and attention to detail to ensure that every aspect of our site reinforces our brand identity

About you:

• 5+ years of experience in software/web engineering, ideally with strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, CSS, and Next.js
• Demonstrated ability to build production-ready web applications in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent design taste and obsessive attention to detail
• Proven experience with code-based animations (e.g., using Motion or GSAP) or experience collaborating with contractors on creative implementations
• Ability to work autonomously, lead and coach other engineers, and collaborate effectively with marketing, design, and data teams
• Deep understanding of SEO principles and best practices, especially around performance, accessibility, and search optimization

We are looking for talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in tackling the problems above. This is a senior role, but we focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience. The salary range for this position is $170,000 - $220,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.
