Job Description:

TransPerfect’s digital footprint includes dozens of websites focused on the solutions, technologies, and specialty divisions that serve clients around the world. Building these sites to be high-performing, lean, functional, user-friendly, and structurally sound is a key priority to ensure the company’s success.

The position of Web Development Engineer will play a key role in executing website projects. You will help oversee web production efforts in collaboration with a team of developers, both in-house and outsourced. You will ensure the successful delivery, supporting multiple corporate and satellite sites, and coordinate with peers and supporting teams to execute projects with efficiency and technical excellence.

This is a leadership role, requiring this individual to take accountability for the performance of all resources under their purview. Success is assessed by the quantity, technical quality, and market performance of websites produced as by the feedback from key stakeholders and company leadership. You will play a key role in partnering with leadership to create a high-performing web team capable of maintaining and improving enterprise web properties. The focus is on project delivery and operational excellence within a structured and scalable framework.

While this role is strategic in nature and requires a strong business mindset and intellect, it is very much a production role where the majority of time will be spend building and leading junior developers with hands-on involvement. With a successful team-building effort, over time the position may evolve into more of a supervisory role focused more completely on strategy.

Candidates under consideration should be prepared to complete a technical screening and evaluation as part of the interview process.

• Lead development sprints and manage the technical aspects of project timelines, delivering on-time and within scope.
• Troubleshoot, triage, and resolve technical issues that arise during the development cycle, offering hands-on support where necessary.
• Balance day-to-day project management with hands-on coding, ensuring consistent progress across development efforts.
• Assist in team prioritization and driving projects to completion on predictable timelines.
• Work closely with the team to maintain site performance, ensuring continuous uptime and optimizing for load times and user experience.
