A US fintech company is looking for a web designer first and a web developer second. You'll design the public website of its online tax-filing product, starting with the homepage and static pages, and then build what you design.

Filing taxes makes people anxious, so the site must feel calm, patient and helpful. We want someone who challenges decisions on layout, messaging and content, and explains why a different choice would work better.

What you'll do

• Design the homepage and static pages end to end: user flows, wireframes, visual design and responsive layouts

• Own UI/UX decisions and back them with clear reasoning, research or data

• Plan SEO and AEO for every page: structure, headings, metadata, FAQ content and structured data (schema.org)

• Keep the design system consistent across pages

• Build the pages in React, TypeScript and Next.js, and set them up as reusable blocks in a headless CMS so Marketing can update them

• Make every page accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA), responsive and fast on mobile

What we're looking for

• 5+ years designing websites, with a portfolio of live marketing websites or landing pages you designed

• Strong UI/UX skills and fluency in Figma

• Proven SEO experience, plus a working understanding of AEO and structured data

• Hands-on React and TypeScript (Next.js preferred), solid HTML, CSS and Tailwind

• Comfortable working in a headless CMS (Payload, Strapi, Sanity, Contentful or similar)

• C1 English and clear communication with marketers, designers and engineers

Nice to have: Payload CMS, copywriting or content strategy, brand identity, fintech or regulated industries, analytics and A/B testing.
