Growth-Driven Frontend Design Engineer for Marketing Pages

Perplexity; California (MO); On-site; USD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Perplexity is seeking a Design Engineer to turn perplexity.com into a growth engine. You’ll work shoulder to shoulder with brand designers, PMMs, growth, and content teams to ship product launch pages, campaign landing pages, and the components that enable fast iteration.

This hands‑on role requires taste, attention to detail, and speed—able to convert a Figma file or rough sketch into a polished, shipped page quickly while maintaining a scalable design system.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a front‑end or design engineer, ideally on a marketing or growth site.
• A portfolio site that shows your previous work on marketing sites and design work.
• Strong skills in React, CSS, and modern frameworks.
• Deep understanding of responsive design and design‑to‑code workflows.
• Experience maintaining a reusable component library and sweating the design details in code.
• A real eye for design. You can tell the difference between 'almost right' and 'actually right,' and your work reflects it.
• Attention to detail that shows up unprompted (2px misalignment, wrong easing curve, widow at end of paragraph).
• Stellar communication skills and a track record of working effectively in cross‑functional teams.
• Desire to work in a fast paced environment, continuously grow, and master your craft.

Responsibilities

• Ship product launch pages and evergreen marketing pages for products; own from Figma handoff to production.
• Partner with brand designers to build interactive experiences that make the site feel alive and drive engagement.
• Maintain and extend our brand design system and component library, keeping Figma and production in sync so brand and creative can scaffold pages with guardrails.
• Collaborate with paid ads and growth teams to run A/B tests on landing pages, popups, and upsell modules; read results and iterate.
• Migrate Framer collections to Sanity, model schemas that non-engineers can actually use, and ship new content types like changelog, customer stories, and academy pages.
• Design and unblock yourself when design resources are constrained; turn rough direction into something worth shipping.
• Improve tools around CMS workflows, i18n, SEO, experimentation, and internal tooling for marketing self‑serve.
