• Build reusable publishing capabilities for regional and localized experiences
• Build reliable measurement, explore how customers use the website, and lay the foundation for experimentation
• Work with Design to build polished, accessible, and search-friendly experiences using a shared design system
• Own complex improvements from the initial idea through launch, debugging, and measurement

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience building frontend applications with TypeScript and React
• Experience building or evolving a high-traffic, content-heavy website serving multiple regions
• Experience with CMS platforms, content modeling, publishing workflows, or self-service content tools

• Deep knowledge of web performance, rendering, caching, content delivery, and modern frontend architecture
• Experience using web analytics to understand and improve customer experiences
• Experience creating reusable components, layouts, and content patterns with Design
• Clear communication and experience leading complex work across Engineering, Design, and business teams
