• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and QA teams to clarify requirements, resolve functional ambiguities early, and seamlessly deliver landing pages, new features, and customer experience enhancements.
• Experimentation & Conversion Optimization: Implement and support client-side A/B test variations, dynamic personalization, and conversion rate optimization initiatives guided by marketing and growth stakeholders.
• Quality, Code Reviews & Continuous Improvement: Write clean, maintainable code adhering to established development standards, actively participate in peer code reviews to provide and incorporate feedback, and contribute to automated testing.
• Web Performance, Standards & Accessibility: Optimize web experiences for performance, responsiveness, and cross-browser/cross-device compatibility while upholding technical SEO and web accessibility (WCAG) best practices.
• Analytics Instrumentation & Platform Health: Support web analytics instrumentation to ensure user interactions and conversion funnels are tracked accurately, while maintaining technical documentation to keep team workflows and component libraries up to date.

• Understanding of WCAG accessibility standards and technical SEO principles.
• Experience with modern development workflows including Git, CI/CD and automated testing.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality digital experiences.
