Job description

You will oversee the web design’s technical vision in alignment with Sekure's vision and objectives to build an impressive online presence, improve user interaction on our website, and stay updated on changes in technology, coding, search engine functionalities, and more, to ensure the latest technology is used for our website.

Our ideal candidate will help set the tone for our digital transformation and will be instrumental in creating new ways of working and thinking, for ourselves and our customers, from a digital standpoint.

Our team is responsible for a wide range of customer experiences and lead generation initiatives that impact business results, such as website optimization, content, email marketing, digital advertising, and sales.

This role is crucial to bring our brand to life by providing the best digital experience online. In return, we support your desire to acquire new skills and become an expert in web development and digital marketing campaigns.

This is currently a remote position with close, daily team interactions.

We are a diverse, collaborative, and welcoming team.

As a Front-End Web Developer with Sekure, you’ll do more than provide value to your team; you’ll pass that value on to our customers. Here’s how :

• Own, develop, and bring to life strong web designs and strategies to deliver world-class user digital experiences in collaboration with the UX Strategist.
• Analyze technical specifications and engineering requirements.
• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code, with visual comps for a highly functional user interface focused on usability and simplicity of design.
• Prepare detailed software verification test plans.
• Coordinate and collaborate with the IT support team at all stages of the development cycle.
• Develop a website maintenance and performance plan and execute each task for short and long-term goals.
• Maintain the in-house QA and QC list up-to-date by performing daily website performance QA and QC tests (Google Lighthouse) in collaboration with the Quality Assurance Specialist.
• Maintain/update assets to meet web standards (Accessibility, Performance, Security, SEO) — working directly with QA to achieve this.

Familiarity or experience with tools such as AXE (Accessibility Tool), NVDA (Screen reader for Windows), VoiceOver (Screen reader for Mac OS/iOS), Google Lighthouse (Web audit tool).

• Work with an agile development methodology (Scrum or Kanban), working in 1 to 2 week sprints (from conception to launch, including development, QA, regression, and deployment).

Translate technical concepts and requirements for non-technical stakeholders.

Evaluate technology choices and rapidly test solutions.

Brainstorm ideas and website best practices for continuous improvement with the Senior Brand Manager and marketing team.

Correct website issues with short deadlines and provide detailed updates on long-term projects.

Applicants will be evaluated based on experience, interview, and references.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent from an accredited institution.
• 3-5 years experience in web development.
• Experience with Hubspot (creating emails, landing pages).
• Experience with WordPress and integrations (forms, chatbots, etc.).
• Proven ability to translate UI/UX mock-ups into feature-rich, pixel-perfect websites and web applications.
• Ability to write clean, modular, high-performance, reusable code/UI components/libraries.
• Experience in Web Accessibility (WCAG AA compliance).
• Experience integrating RESTful services and APIs.
• Graphic design experience is a plus.
• Experience testing and optimizing responsive landing pages and emails.
• Knowledge of online marketing platforms (Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn).
• Bachelor’s degree is desired but not required if work experience and portfolio are outstanding.
