This role will partner closely with the Director of UX to evolve Netlify’s mission and storytelling, and will collaborate with teams across Product, Brand Design, and Marketing to bring the brand to life through thoughtful execution and enablement.

As a Senior UX Engineer at Netlify, you'll join a team of sharp, motivated, and genuinely kind people on the UX team made up of product and brand designers, researchers, developers, and technical writers. We value builders who roll up their sleeves, own it, and ship it.  Tools we use include Astro, Sanity, Figma, React, Netlify to build Netlify, and more. It’s more important that you have a solid foundation as a web developer than knowing about every framework or tool.

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate cross-functionally with designers, developers, and stakeholders to define and evolve the user story that bridges brand and product
• Ensure a cohesive, clear, accessible, and effective user experience across Netlify’s web and product properties, aligned with business and community goals
• Own and evolve our marketing design system, visual strategy, and processes championing accessibility, quality, and scalable front end practices through documentation, best practices, and shared systems
• Actively give and receive feedback, fostering a culture of collaboration, quality, and growth
• Lead and participate in usability testing and iteration efforts in partnership with others
• Navigate multiple work streams effectively; prioritizing, timeboxing, and bringing structure to ambiguous or shifting initiatives
• Maintain public facing assets, such as sponsored open source sites and templates, as well as maintaining and driving ownership of internal repositories

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in front end engineering (Javascript, Typescript, HTML, CSS) within the software industry, backed by a strong portfolio showcasing attention to detail, refined aesthetics, and strategic thinking
• Proficiency in front end user experience, with the ability to navigate and contribute across disciplines
• Comfortable collaborating with designers, content writers, and marketers, especially in the presentation layer, and experienced using tools like Figma, GitHub, and codegen tools.
• Strong communicator with the ability to articulate rationale, incorporate feedback, and align with cross-functional stakeholders
• Strategic thinker with a human-centered approach to supporting growth campaigns and conversion-focused initiatives
• Enthusiasm for evolving and contributing to design systems, open source, and removing friction for users
• Commitment to accessibility, consistency, and a high standard of craft
• Operates with autonomy, thrives in cross-disciplinary collaboration, and values shared learning with product and marketing partners
• Growth mindset: curious, adaptable, and eager to explore new technologies, tools, and methods—including AI for code generation
• Bonus: experience in complementary areas like animation, brand design, and more
• We don’t have formal education requirements at Netlify - whether you’re self-taught or have a traditional background, we encourage you to apply.
• We welcome candidates based in Poland, Spain, or Canada for this position.

This Role is a Great Fit If:

• You’ve shaped brand experiences in a tech/saas environment and understand how to translate strategy into thoughtful, cohesive experience across touchpoints.
• You enjoy collaborating across disciplines—working closely with developers, marketers, and designers to shape and evolve brand and product experiences.
• You’re energized by storytelling and love making complex ideas more approachable, engaging, and human.
• You take a thoughtful, strategic approach to your work, but you’re also comfortable getting into the details and iterating as you go.
• You find clarity in ambiguity and see it as a space for creativity, not confusion.
• You care about accessibility, craft, and consistency, and approach design with empathy for both users and teammates
• You’re curious, open to feedback, and always exploring new ways to grow your skills, whether through new tools, ideas, or technologies like AI.
