[Remote] Design Engineer
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Givebutter is a nonprofit fundraising and CRM platform that empowers changemakers to raise more and give better. They are seeking a Design Engineer to build marketing experiences that engage nonprofits and enhance their online presence, collaborating with design and engineering teams to translate prototypes into production-ready code.
Responsibilities
- Build acquisition and marketing surfaces in our Astro-based site, where you're free from the constraints of our Webflow-hosted content pages to make things that are faster, more interactive, more personalized, and more fun
- Partner with Design to translate Figma, prototypes, and AI-generated explorations into production-grade motion and interaction, and own the motion and interaction primitives that evolve across marketing and eventually product
- Build data-driven marketing pages that bring our real campaign and cause data to life: per-cause hubs, per-campaign stories, per-vertical landing pages, with the kind of craft and taste that makes them feel hand-made even when they're templated
- Wire our marketing surfaces into the same analytics and feature-flag plumbing our product team uses; we've got PostHog across the stack and LaunchDarkly in the dashboard, with real room to extend those patterns into how we ship marketing
- Collaborate with our 3rd-party Webflow team on the cross-cutting work that spans our whole web presence (analytics and tracking instrumentation, SEO, technical decisions)
- Partner with Growth, Marketing, Design, and the product engineering team as a natural translator between what each group needs
Skills
- 4+ years of professional frontend engineering experience building production web applications or marketing sites
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript
- Strong understanding of semantic HTML, modern CSS, responsive layouts, and browser rendering behavior
- Production experience with modern frontend frameworks such as Astro, React, Next.js, or Svelte
- Experience implementing advanced frontend animation systems using tools such as GSAP, Framer Motion, View Transitions API, Lottie, or scroll-linked animations
- Experience integrating analytics, A/B testing, or feature flagging systems (e.g. PostHog, LaunchDarkly, Segment, Amplitude)
- Experience building reusable frontend components and interaction systems with maintainable architecture
- Strong understanding of Core Web Vitals, frontend performance optimization, and accessibility standards (WCAG, reduced motion support, semantic structure)
- Experience collaborating in Figma-based design workflows and implementing pixel-accurate UI from design specifications
- Comfortable reviewing, debugging, and refining AI-assisted code output before production deployment
- Experience using Git-based workflows and collaborating within engineering teams using pull requests and code reviews
- Enough Webflow comfort to collaborate with a 3rd-party team on tracking, analytics, and technical decisions (this is not a content-management role)
- Experience with data-driven page generation (CMS-driven templates, content collections, dynamic routing, and programmatic patterns that prioritize quality over volume)
- Design systems or motion primitive library maintenance
- Cloudflare Workers / edge routing / SEO / Core Web Vitals
- Background in a designer-first environment (agency, studio, or former designer)
- A personal site with personality (we will absolutely click through)
- Experimentation and product-analytics experience: you've run A/B tests, instrumented your work in tools like PostHog, Amplitude, or Mixpanel, and can help us think about what good infrastructure would look like here
- Nonprofit or mission-driven experience
