Web Developer (Growth & Conversion Optimization) Job at Clay in New York

Clay, New York, NY, United States


Overview
Senior Web Developer (Growth & Conversion Optimization)

This role focuses on building high-converting web experiences, developing the technical infrastructure that powers growth, and driving conversion optimization through code. It emphasizes delivering fast, maintainable solutions that meet business goals and user needs.

What You'll Do

Build high-converting web experiences in Webflow. Own the development of landing pages, conversion funnels, and website features from concept through launch. Write custom JavaScript for interactive elements, build CMS architectures, and push Webflow to its limits with advanced functionality. Ship quickly with a fast launch cadence from brief to production-ready code without heavy handoffs.

Develop the technical infrastructure that powers growth. Architect and implement integrations, APIs, webhooks, and automation that connect web properties to the broader marketing and sales stack. Build custom middleware, debug complex integration issues, implement event tracking architectures, and ensure data flows between Webflow, CRM, analytics platforms, and marketing automation tools. Write production-grade, maintainable, scalable code.

Own conversion optimization through code. Design and implement A/B testing frameworks, experimentation infrastructure, and personalization engines to systematically improve conversion rates. Analyze funnel data, translate insights into technical solutions, and build features that reduce friction and drive measurable improvements.

Ship with technical excellence and collaboration. Balance speed with quality, know when to refactor, and keep stakeholders informed without slowing down. Be opinionated about code quality, web performance, and best practices while remaining pragmatic about shipping.

Collaborate to translate business goals into technical solutions. Partner with Marketing, Product, and Growth teams to understand objectives and build solutions that deliver results. Lead development projects, provide technical guidance to stakeholders, and translate non-technical requirements into clean, efficient code.

Push technical boundaries while maintaining reliability. Explore advanced animations, interactive elements, and personalization systems while preserving performance, accessibility, and alignment with user experience and business goals.
