About the role 

We’re looking for a Senior Web Developer who takes immense pride in their craft. You won't just be "maintaining" a site; you’ll be owning it. You are the bridge between a beautiful design concept and a high-performance reality.

We are constantly evolving. You’ll 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.

As a Senior Web Developer at Starburst you will:

• Own the Experience: Develop and maintain a responsive, interactive, and user-friendly web presence. You’ll handle everything from layout tweaks to deep technical functionality.
• Performance & SEO: Ensure our site is lightning-fast and optimized for technical SEO. You understand that a millisecond of lag is a lost opportunity.
• Design Partnership: Collaborate closely with our Brand and Design teams to translate UI/UX visions into living, breathing web pages. You have an eye for detail and won't settle for "close enough."
• Optimization & Growth: Implement A/B tests and analytics tracking to help our Growth team understand what’s working and what’s not.
• Technical Integration: Keep our marketing stack (CRM, Analytics, Email) humming by ensuring seamless integrations with the site.
• Quality & Standards: Act as the gatekeeper for brand guidelines, accessibility (WCAG) standards, and data privacy. You test thoroughly because you care about the user’s journey.
• Future-Proofing: While we’re on a stable stack now, you’ll help us evaluate and eventually migrate to new technologies when the time is right.

Some of the things we look for:

• 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.

Where could this role be based?

• Location: This is a hybrid role ideally based in our Boston or San Francisco hubs (1-2 days per week in-office).
• Travel: Expect about 25% travel for team offsites, onboarding, and hitting major milestones together.
