About the role

Design Engineer to turn perplexity.com into a growth engine by shipping product launch pages, campaign landing pages, and tooling for marketing teams. Collaborates with brand designers, PMMs, growth, and content teams; hands-on from Figma to production; focuses on fast, polished pages and scalable design systems.

Responsibilities

  • Ship product launch pages and evergreen marketing pages for products like Comet, Computer, Deep Research, Search, and Hub. Own the work 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.
  • Work closely with the paid ads and growth teams to run A/B tests on landing pages, popups, and upsell modules. Read the results, then iterate.
  • Migrate the leftover Framer collections to Sanity, model schemas that non-engineers can actually use, and help ship new content types like changelog, customer stories, and academy pages.
  • Design and unblock yourself when design resources are constrained. You can take a rough direction and turn it into something worth shipping.
  • Improve the tools around the work: CMS workflows, i18n, SEO, experimentation, and internal tooling for marketing self-serve. If a manual process is slowing the team down, you should want to fix it.

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. You know what the platform can do and you stay current on what's new.
  • 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. The 2px misalignment, the wrong easing curve, the widow at the end of the paragraph.
  • Stellar communication skills and a track record of working effectively in cross-functional teams. You can defend a decision, push back constructively, and explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, continuously grow, and master your craft.
