Technical Webflow Developer​/Frontend Engineer

• We are looking for a Technical Webflow Developer / Frontend Engineer to join our tight-knit, collaborative 4-person web team
• We operate as a “T-shaped” team. This means that day-to-day, our entire team shares ownership of publishing new content, managing CMS entries, and keeping our digital footprint active. However, when technical projects arise, you are deployed as our technical lead
• You will be the code-first brain of our site—partnering with our UX/UI designer to build highly performant, modular components, writing custom JavaScript logic, structuring scalable CMS architectures, and acting as our strict guardian of Core Web Vitals
• If you are a developer who views Webflow as a powerful visual interface for writing professional-grade HTML, CSS, and JS (rather than just a drag-and-drop design tool), and you take pride in building scalable systems that empower your team, this role was built for you
• Technical Development & Custom Logic (Your Specialization)
• Code-First Architecture:
  Translate wireframes and designs into robust Webflow structures using standard naming methodologies (e.g., Finsweet Client-First) to ensure the site is modular, clean, and easily maintainable
• Custom Scripting:
  Extend Webflow’s native capabilities by writing clean, performant, vanilla JavaScript to handle DOM manipulation, custom event listeners, and custom component logic (such as interactive navigation systems)
• Smart CMS & Automation:
  Design and build smart CMS automation. For example, building logic-driven “event” components that dynamically hide or update themselves based on real-time date and time parameters without manual intervention
• Scalable Component Library & Team Enablement
• Systematized Lego-Block Building:
  Build components and page modules with zero-dependency reusability in mind. When you write custom CSS, interactions, or JavaScript, it must be packaged cleanly into Webflow components so that other team members can drag, drop, and publish them across the site without needing you to write new code or touch custom CSS. Your success is measured by how independent the rest of the team is when using your builds
• Shared Publishing:
  Participate alongside the rest of the team in day-to-day web updates, standard page publishing, and content management
• Technical Performance & Optimization Advocacy
• Core Web Vitals Guardian:
  Own our site’s technical health. You will actively monitor and debug page performance using Chrome Dev Tools and Lighthouse
• Performance Advocacy:
  Act as the voice of reason during design handoffs. If a proposed page is too long or a design layout is too heavy, you will collaborate on how to trim assets, optimize code, and preserve lightning-fast load times
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Designer-to-Developer Handshake:
  Partner closely with our UX/UI designer to bring layout concepts to life, ensuring they are responsive, clean under the hood, and optimized for speed
• Technical Continuity:
  Work closely with the Web Manager (who has a technical background and acts as your backup) to maintain organized documentation of our codebase and custom scripts

• Recognition:
  Competitive pay, exceptional benefits, and matching programs for retirement plans
• Development:
  Training and career development to help you grow, personally and professionally
• Comfort:
  Bright, modern offices with ergonomic work spaces, and areas for team collaboration and individual focus
• Inspiration:
  In-office art gallery, seasonally refreshed with a vibrant selection from British Columbia artists
• Refreshments:
  Free refreshments, from pastries to popcorn to pizza, and a huge selection of hot and cold beverages
• Health:
  Onsite fitness classes to burn off calories from the free snacks and keep you mentally sharp
• Connection:
  Monthly social events and an annual retreat to bring the team together and celebrate our wins
• Balance:
  Work/life balance with flexible time off and Absolute-sponsored events for the whole family

Front-End Foundations:
You write clean, semantic HTML5, modern CSS3 (flexbox, grid, responsive units), and Vanilla JavaScript/jQueryT-Shaped Mindset:
You are excited to be the technical expert on a small team, meaning you are happy to handle…
