Lead Web Developer

Job Description

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain components and pages using a modern SSR/SSG framework (e.g. Nuxt, Next.js), ensuring high performance, accessibility, and SEO best practices.
• Work within a headless CMS architecture (e.g. Storyblok, Contentful) to deliver content-driven pages, collaborating with content editors and marketers on content workflows and component design.
• Champion web performance — Core Web Vitals, critical CSS, pre-rendering strategies, image optimisation — to deliver fast, reliable experiences across devices and regions.
• You define the technical architecture and long-term roadmap for Deputy.com, ensuring it scales with the business’s global growth goals.
• You lead cross-functional initiatives between Marketing, Design, and Engineering to solve complex digital acquisition and performance challenges.
• Integrate and maintain third-party services, including analytics platforms (e.g. Datadog, GTM, Segment), consent management, and marketing tools.
• Write automated tests (unit and end-to-end) and participate in code reviews to uphold a high-quality, maintainable codebase.
• Independently drive a fleet of AI Coding Agents as part of your daily workflow — for component development, debugging, code review, content workflows, and performance analysis. You are not expected to hand-write code, and will apply critical judgment to validate and steer AI-generated output.
• You establish and maintain company-wide software development standards for web engineering, including accessibility, security, and edge deployment practices.
• You determine the methods and frameworks for new assignments, moving beyond execution to influence how work is approached across the marketing function.
• You drive the evolution of Deputy’s AI-native development workflows, setting the standard for how Agentic development is integrated into the engineering lifecycle.
• Deploy and manage frontend applications on edge platforms (e.g. Cloudflare Pages, Vercel), including working with serverless functions and workers where needed.
• Collaborate with designers to translate designs into semantic, accessible markup and contribute back to design system improvements

Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science (or related) + 8 years, or 10 years demonstrated experience in high-growth SaaS environments.
• You are a skilled fullstack web engineer with high standards and a passion for quality, backed by 3+ years of related work experience. You care about the details — clean markup, fast load times, accessible interfaces — and you’re excited about using AI tools to amplify your work rather than replace your judgment.
• You are customer-obsessed, thinking about how every page, component, and interaction impacts the visitor experience and supports the business goals of the marketing team.
• You have strong proficiency in Vue.js or a comparable modern JavaScript framework (React, Svelte) with a solid understanding of component-driven architecture.
• Experience with SSR/SSG frameworks (e.g. Nuxt, Next.js, SvelteKit) and an understanding of rendering strategies, including static generation, server-side rendering, and hydration.
• Deep knowledge of modern HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript — you write semantic, accessible, performant markup as second nature.
• Experience with CSS tooling such as PostCSS, SCSS, or CSS-in-JS, including responsive design techniques (fluid typography, custom media queries, flexbox/grid).
• Familiarity with headless CMS platforms (e.g. Storyblok, Contentful, Sanity) and content-driven development workflows.
• Understanding of SEO fundamentals — structured data, meta tags, Core Web Vitals, and how frontend decisions impact organic performance.
• Experience writing automated tests (unit and E2E) using modern testing frameworks (e.g. Vitest, Jest, Cypress, Playwright).
• Solid understanding of Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development practices.
• Comfort using AI-powered development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex) to accelerate your work, with the critical thinking to review and validate AI-generated output.
• Experience with edge deployment platforms (Cloudflare Pages/Workers, Vercel, Netlify), analytics integration (GTM, Segment, Datadog), or monorepo tooling is a plus.
• You thrive under autonomy, take initiative, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• You’re passionate about continuous learning and staying current with frontend technologies and AI tooling.
