The Big Picture:

We are rebuilding our entire web experience using Next.js, a scalable component system, and an architecture built for speed, SEO, and conversion. As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you will be the Director of Web Development’s primary technical partner. You will build the components, templates, and user experiences that become the backbone of our marketing engine.

Build high-conversion marketing and intake flows: landing pages, FAQs, and lead forms

CMS & Content Modeling (Sanity)

Design and implement schemas for pages, sections, FAQs, forms, and reusable content blocks
Build robust GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) queries and utilities for fetching content in Next.js Server Components
Implement preview and draft/live workflows so editors can safely preview content before publishing
Support migration of existing content (e.g., from WordPress) into other CMS where appropriate
Collaborate with marketing/content teams to ensure content models support their workflows without compromising performance or maintainability

Performance & SEO Optimization

Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and mobile performance
Keep Lighthouse performance/SEO scores consistently high
Improve image loading, font strategies, caching, and bundle weight
Ensure code is structured for speed, clarity, and maintainability

Conversion-Focused Development

Build high-intent landing pages and multi-step lead flows
Implement dynamic modules (FAQs, testimonials, results, attorney profiles)
Support A/B test variants and rapid experimentation cycles
Work closely with UX to refine and iterate based on behavioral insights

Analytics & Tracking Implementation

Implement event tracking for forms, CTAs, scroll behavior, and funnels
Work with decision science to validate that tracking fires cleanly
Support DataLayer and GTM integrations where needed

Design System & Code Quality

Help create and maintain a scalable design system with well-structured components
Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
Write clear, maintainable code with documentation where appropriate

Collaboration & Communication

Work closely with the Director of Web Development on architecture and execution
Partner with the UX designer, creative team, and marketing teams
Communicate technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders

What You Bring:

4+ years of front-end development experience
Strong proficiency in React and Next.js (App Router experience is a plus)
Proficiency in TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES6+), and modern CSS
Experience working with at least one headless CMS; Sanity experience preferred
Experience consuming and integrating REST or GraphQL APIs (Application Programming Interfaces)
Proven ability to translate Figma designs into pixel-accurate, production-ready builds
Solid understanding of web performance, Core Web Vitals, and how to build fast pages in practice
Comfort working in Git with modern development workflows

Nice-to-Have Experience

Experience with Storybook or component documentation tools
Hands-on experience with Sanity (schemas, GROQ, preview setups, content workflows)
Experience with Tailwind CSS or another utility-first CSS approach
Experience with A/B testing and experiment-driven development
Experience deploying and optimizing Next.js apps on Vercel
