About The Position

Nex is seeking a Frontend Engineer to join a small, ambitious team focused on shaping the customer's initial discovery and engagement with their product. This role is frontend-first, with ownership of the marketing site, including its CMS, component library, performance, and overall user experience.

This position offers significant ownership and visibility, with direct collaboration with designers, marketers, and leadership.

The work will be live and visible to millions of visitors, making it ideal for someone passionate about frontend craft, the intersection of design and code, and who wants to be a key contributor to a team's success.

• Commitment to code quality and reliability, including writing tests and addressing edge cases.
• Experience diagnosing and fixing real performance bottlenecks on a public-facing site, understanding metrics like LCP and performing page audits.
• Ability to take ownership end-to-end, from scoping and building to deployment and production smoke testing.
• Experience collaborating closely with non-engineering teams (marketers, designers, stakeholders) and translating between creative vision and technical reality.
• A DIY mindset with a genuine obsession for code quality, user experience, and craft.
