Responsibilities
- Translate wireframes and designs into robust Webflow structures using standard naming methodologies (e.g., Finsweet Client-First) to ensure the site is modular, clean, and easily maintainable.
- Write clean, performant, vanilla JavaScript to extend Webflow's native capabilities, including DOM manipulation, custom event listeners, and custom component logic (such as interactive navigation systems).
- Design and build smart CMS automation, for example, logic-driven 'event' components that dynamically hide or update themselves based on real-time date and time parameters without manual intervention.
- Build components and page modules with zero-dependency reusability in mind, ensuring custom CSS, interactions, or JavaScript are packaged cleanly into Webflow components for drag-and-drop use by other team members.
- Participate in day-to-day web updates, standard page publishing, and content management alongside the rest of the team.
- Monitor and debug page performance using Chrome DevTools and Lighthouse to maintain site technical health.
- Collaborate during design handoffs to optimize designs for speed, including trimming assets and optimizing code to preserve fast load times.
- Partner with UX/UI designer to bring layout concepts to life, ensuring they are responsive, clean under the hood, and optimized for speed.
- Work closely with Web Manager to maintain organized documentation of codebase and custom scripts.
Requirements
- Deep, production-level experience with the Webflow Designer, CMS collection structures, and template pages.
- Write clean, semantic HTML5, modern CSS3 (flexbox, grid, responsive units), and Vanilla JavaScript/jQuery.
- Direct experience auditing and improving page-speed bottlenecks (render-blocking scripts, heavy DOM depth, unoptimized assets).
- Build robust, self-contained components with clear boundaries so they remain stable and scalable no matter where they are placed on the site.
- Excited to be the technical expert on a small team, meaning happy to handle quick content edits and daily publishing alongside the team, while maintaining pride and discipline in custom code.
Nice to Have
- Good understanding of Webflow's native Interactions (IX2/IX3) engine and CSS transitions to build smooth, responsive, and lightweight animations that elevate the UX without bloating page load speeds.
- Familiarity with Webflow extension libraries (like Finsweet Attributes).
