You should be comfortable using tools such as OpenAI, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and other AI-assisted development platforms to write, test, document, optimize, and ship code more efficiently.

You Are:

• Functional expertise: Proven track record in translating high-fidelity designs (Figma/Adobe Creative Cloud) into semantic code, managing end-to-end website deployments, supporting marketing measurement workflows (analytics tagging, tracking pixels), and managing custom WordPress workflows.

• Technical expertise: Proficiency in modern JavaScript, component-based styling frameworks (Sass, Tailwind CSS, or CSS Grid/Flexbox), Astro or similar static/hybrid front-end frameworks, GitHub version control, PHP/MySQL within WordPress environments, and AI-assisted development tools (OpenAI, Gemini, GitHub Copilot).

You Own:

• Building, maintaining, and optimizing marketing websites, landing pages, campaign experiences, microsites, and related digital properties across OPENLANE.

• Designing and developing reusable front-end components, templates, and design patterns to improve deployment speed and system scalability.

• WordPress configuration, including custom theme development, plugin implementation, CMS architecture, content workflows, and security updates.

• Codebase management via GitHub, covering branching, pull requests, comprehensive code reviews, and technical documentation updates.

• Troubleshooting, debugging, and refactoring inherited or existing codebases to maintain performance, accessibility, and reliability.

You Drive:

• Execution: Converting design compositions from Figma and Creative Cloud into accessible, responsive web experiences while deploying seamless website updates across development, staging, and production environments.

• Results: Accelerated development cycles via AI-assisted workflows, improved page speed and SEO metrics, consistent UI across the digital marketing ecosystem, and high-visibility digital experiences that support growth, product launches, and customer engagement.

Who You Will Work With:

• Reporting to the Creative Director, this role will collaborate closely with designers, writers, product marketers, communications partners, and business stakeholders across OPENLANE on a daily basis. You will also partner with software engineering, IT, security, analytics, product, external agencies, and hosting partners as needed to ensure marketing websites are stable, secure, and scalable.

Where You Work:

• Hands-on experience with Astro or similar modern front-end frameworks, alongside GitHub version control and multi-environment deployment pipelines.

• Demonstrated capability using AI-assisted tools (OpenAI, Gemini, GitHub Copilot) to optimize and accelerate front-end development tasks.
