What you’ll be doing

As OpenZeppelin’s Web Developer, you will own the development, maintenance, and evolution of openzeppelin.com and related web properties. Your role is to replace our current agency model with in-house execution improving quality, speed, and reliability while building a modern, high-performance website that reflects OpenZeppelin’s identity as a leading technology and security company. You will lead the migration from our current CMS to a modern stack, build interactive experiences that engage developers and enterprise audiences, and ensure our web presence is optimized for both traditional search and AI-driven discovery.

• Own website development and operations by building, maintaining, and optimizing openzeppelin.com and related web properties, ensuring consistent uptime, fast load times, and a seamless user experience.
• Lead and execute the CMS migration from HubSpot to a modern stack (Next.js, Webflow, or similar), managing the phased transition from architecture planning through implementation and deployment.
• Build interactive web experiences including live code playgrounds, dynamic stats dashboards, ROI calculators, and developer tools that set OpenZeppelin apart from competitors.
• Implement technical SEO and AIO optimization through schema markup, structured data, Core Web Vitals improvements, and content structures optimized for AI Overview and generative search engines.
• Manage website infrastructure including CI/CD pipelines, staging environments, CDN configuration, and monitoring to ensure reliability and fast iteration cycles.
• Create conversion-focused assets such as landing pages, lead capture tools, smart CTAs, and engagement widgets to support marketing campaigns and lead generation initiatives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally by working with Design, Product Marketing, DevRel, Demand Generation, and Content teams to translate designs into pixel-perfect implementations and support marketing initiatives with technical execution.

You have

• 2-4 years of professional web development experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, React or Next.js, and modern HTML/CSS.
• Experience with at least one modern CMS platform (Webflow, Contentful, Sanity, or similar headless CMS).
• Solid understanding of technical SEO fundamentals, web performance optimization, and analytics tools.
• Comfort with version control (Git), CI/CD workflows, and modern deployment platforms (Vercel, Netlify, or similar).
• An eye for design and strong attention to detail when translating mockups into responsive, production-quality code.
• A self-driven, proactive mindset with the ability to work autonomously in a remote, fast-paced environment.
• Hands-on experience with AI tools, LLM APIs, or automation platforms (Make, n8n, Zapier, or custom scripts). We see a huge opportunity to use AI to multiply our marketing team’s productivity, and a developer who can build these workflows will have outsized impact in this role.

Nice to have

• Experience in the blockchain, Web3, or crypto industry.
• Familiarity with HubSpot CMS (useful for migration planning)
