Job description

About Us

Encord is building the AI infrastructure of the future. Soon, every big company will be an AI company, and they will need to build, curate, annotate and understand big datasets to train their models. Encord helps them do this. The success of any AI application today is driven by the quality of the training data, and evaluation sets used. In most cases, creating high quality datasets are the most costly and time-consuming part of getting a product to market.

Encord is a team of AI researchers, computer scientists, physicists and quants, who felt first-hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. It is still early for AI. The potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive. This is why we started Encord.

We are a talented and ambitious team of 75+, working at the cutting edge of multimodal and embodied AI, backed by top investors, including CRV and Y Combinator, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other top Bay Area leaders in AI. We are one the fastest growing companies in our space, and are consistently rated as the best product in the market by our customers. We have big plans ahead and are looking for our Engineering Manager to join us in building our team.

What We Are Looking For

We're seeking a fast and design-conscious Web Developer who can transform Figma designs into high-converting landing pages that accelerate our growth in the AI space. You should have 2+ years of experience with React and modern front-end frameworks, with a track record of shipping results-driven websites. You'll collaborate with our UK and US design and growth teams, owning projects while contributing to our fast-paced environment where your work directly impacts business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage modern web development tools and frameworks to accelerate production
• Transform Figma designs into fully functional web pages within quick turnaround
• Collaborate closely with design and growth teams to translate mockups into pixel-perfect implementations and participate in design reviews to provide technical feedback
• Maintain and ensure brand consistency across the website through practicing and advocating for design and FE frameworks that will help streamline web development
• Drive website performance optimization, achieving top-tier Core Web Vitals scores and sub-second page load times across all devices
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining rigorous code quality standards
• Develop reusable React components that maintain brand consistency while enabling rapid feature deployment
• Work effectively with modern CMS platforms to streamline content updates and page creation
• Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks through continuous monitoring and analysis

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years of professional web development experience
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across teams
• A meticulous eye for detail, delivering high-quality work and owning your projects from start to finish
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern front-end frameworks
• Understanding of web performance optimization principles
• Proven experience working with modern CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Webflow, Contentful, or similar)
• Expert in Figma-to-code workflow with proven ability to deliver completed pages within a day
• Ability to build responsive and mobile-friendly websites
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to code quality
• Background in marketing website development preferred

Preferred Experience

• Understanding of SEO principles and techniques
• Familiarity with A/B testing
• Previous work in agency, startup or fast-paced agile environment is a plus

What We Offer

- Competitive salary, commission and equity in a hyper growth business.

- Strong in-person culture: most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week.

- Room to grow into anything you choose to — a year ago we were 25 people, now we're at 75. We'll be growing very quickly over the next 24 months and there will be a wide scope for you to grow into roles with greater responsibility.

- 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays.

Our work is at the intersection of cutting edge AI use cases, and the engineering challenges that come with handling massive scale. Encord offers a rare opportunity to be part of a startup with a clear mission and vision, and with exceptional product-market fit. You will get to explore and build enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals such as healthcare, robotics, agentic generative AI and many more.
