Build Interactive Marketing Websites: Transform Figma designs into responsive, pixel-perfect marketing websites that showcase deep tech innovations.

You'll optimize for fast load times, smooth animations, and responsive behavior, conducting thorough QA testing before handoff. This includes managing technical deployments, DNS configuration, hosting setup, and basic third-party integrations to ensure seamless launches

You'll code interactive UI components with smooth state transitions and micro-interactions that enhance user engagement and communicate complex tech concepts intuitively
Collaboration & Creative Partnership: Work closely with designers throughout the implementation process to maintain design fidelity and creative vision. Participate actively in creative reviews, providing technical expertise on feasibility and implementation approaches. You'll collaborate daily via Slack/Zoom, ensuring smooth communication as you translate ambitious creative concepts into functional reality
Project Management & Delivery: Manage multiple concurrent website projects at various stages of development, maintaining high quality standards across all deliverables. You'll prioritize tasks effectively, communicate progress proactively, and ensure timely delivery of projects that help our deep tech clients tell their stories and showcase their innovations to investors, partners, and customers

You should be comfortable implementing complex scroll interactions and motion design that create memorable user experiences
Webflow & Custom Development: Demonstrated proficiency working in Webflow and extending it with custom code to achieve design requirements that go beyond platform limitations. You can seamlessly blend no-code efficiency with custom development to deliver sophisticated solutions quickly

Communication & Teamwork: Excellent communication skills – you can explain technical constraints to designers and creative teams while remaining solutions-focused. Since our team is distributed, you need to be comfortable working in a remote environment, collaborating via Slack/Zoom, and proactively communicating project status and potential roadblocks
