About the Team:
At Netlify, our mission is to empower developers to move faster with solutions that are intuitive, powerful, and a joy to use. The Senior UX Engineer will lead our brand and product user experience, from marketing campaigns and product launches to onboarding and documentation. This role will partner closely with the Director of UX to evolve Netlify’s mission and storytelling, and will collaborate with teams across Product, Brand Design, and Marketing to bring the brand to life through thoughtful execution and enablement.
As a Senior UX Engineer at Netlify, you'll join a team of sharp, motivated, and genuinely kind people on the UX team made up of product and brand designers, researchers, developers, and technical writers. We value builders who roll up their sleeves, own it, and ship it. Tools we use include Astro, Sanity, Figma, React, Netlify to build Netlify, and more. It’s more important that you have a solid foundation as a web developer than knowing about every framework or tool.
What You’ll Do:
- Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, developers, and stakeholders to define and evolve the user story that bridges brand and product
- Ensure a cohesive, clear, accessible, and effective user experience across Netlify’s web and product properties, aligned with business and community goals
- Own and evolve our marketing design system, visual strategy, and processes championing accessibility, quality, and scalable front end practices through documentation, best practices, and shared systems
- Actively give and receive feedback, fostering a culture of collaboration, quality, and growth
- Lead and participate in usability testing and iteration efforts in partnership with others
- Navigate multiple work streams effectively; prioritizing, timeboxing, and bringing structure to ambiguous or shifting initiatives
- Maintain public facing assets, such as sponsored open source sites and templates, as well as maintaining and driving ownership of internal repositories
What You'll Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in front end engineering (Javascript, Typescript, HTML, CSS) within the software industry, backed by a strong portfolio showcasing attention to detail, refined aesthetics, and strategic thinking
- Proficiency in front end user experience, with the ability to navigate and contribute across disciplines
- Comfortable collaborating with designers, content writers, and marketers, especially in the presentation layer, and experienced using tools like Figma, GitHub, and codegen tool
