Job Description
We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Web Developer to join our team responsible for building fast, modern, and user-focused websites for our network of local news stations. This role focuses on building and maintaining high-performance, public-facing web experiences using Svelte (or transitioning into it from similar frameworks like React).
We’re rethinking how we deliver content to millions of users across the U.S., and we’re seeking a developer who thrives on performance, modularity, and innovation.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain responsive, accessible, and high-performance websites using Svelte, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Work with backend teams to integrate RESTful APIs and content feeds.
- Collaborate with designers and product managers to implement user-centric features and iterate based on analytics and feedback.
- Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and architecture discussions to ensure scalable and maintainable codebases.
- Help establish and promote best practices in modern web development (component-driven development, performance tuning, SEO, accessibility).
- Contribute to the migration of legacy codebases into modular, modern web stacks.
- Integrate 3rd party SDKs such as RudderStack and LaunchDarkly.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience building modern web applications with strong JavaScript fundamentals.
- Experience in Svelte, React, Vue, or other component-based front-end frameworks.
- Understanding of performance optimization techniques (Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, etc.).
- Familiarity with responsive design principles and cross-browser compatibility.
- Comfort working in agile teams and collaborating across engineering, product, and design.
- Willingness to learn and contribute to a Svelte-based ecosystem (if not already experienced).
