Senior Frontend Developer (Website)

At Verda, we’re building a full-stack AI cloud, covering everything from data centers and hardware to our own cloud platform that the world’s leading AI teams use to do serious AI work.

We strive to make a positive mark on the world through the infrastructure we build and give leading teams a service they can truly depend on. Headquartered in Helsinki, we operate globally with offices in London and San Francisco.

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Developer to own and evolve our marketing website: product pages, pricing, jobs, contact flows, and our blog/content platform.
You’ll work closely with Marketing (landing pages, content updates, experiments) and with Design & Engineering (design system adoption, interactive product demos, API-driven experiences).

You’ll be responsible for craft and consistency: pixel-accurate UI from Figma, responsive layouts that look great on all devices, and a strong standard for accessibility.

You’ll also own website quality metrics: performance (Core Web Vitals), SEO fundamentals, and reliable analytics instrumentation for key funnels.

Our stack (today)

• Astro, TypeScript
• Preact islands + Astro components
• Figma-driven design workflow
• Google Analytics

Your responsibilities

• Evolve the website UI using our design system (tokens, typography, spacing, color, components, patterns).
• Build reusable, documented primitives and page-level patterns that keep the site consistent and fast to iterate on.
• Deliver pixel-perfect implementations from Figma with strong responsive behavior across devices.
• Ship new landing pages and continuously improve existing pages (copy/layout iterations, visual polish, conversion improvements).
• Partner with Marketing to support campaigns, product launches, and ongoing content updates without sacrificing code quality.
• Own Core Web Vitals outcomes (LCP/INP/CLS): measure, debug, and improve using real metrics - not guesses.
• Ensure strong fundamentals: semantic HTML, metadata, structured content, and accessible interactions.
• Implement reliable tracking for key funnels (pricing signup/contact, jobs apply, blog engagement).
• Maintain a clean analytics setup (e.g., GA4 / GTM), working with cookie consent and privacy requirements.
• Build interactive product experiences: calculators, comparisons, guided demos, and API-driven UI on the marketing site.
• Work comfortably with backend engineers and APIs: contracts, error handling, and “non-happy path” UX.

Your key competencies

• Strong senior experience (5+ years) building production frontends with excellent HTML/CSS/TypeScript fundamentals.
• CSS mastery: responsive layouts, modern styling approaches, and the ability to implement design details precisely.
• Proven experience applying or building a design system (tokens + components + usage rules) and understanding why it matters.
• Experience with performance work: profiling, bundle strategy, image/font optimization, caching, and CWV improvements.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with Marketing/Design and drive initiatives proactively.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with Astro (or similar SSG/SSR frameworks like Next.js, Remix, SvelteKit, Nuxt).
• Experience with analytics instrumentation (GA4, GTM), funnel measurement, and event design that stays stable over time.
• Experience with micro-interactions/micro-animations (subtle, high-quality motion that doesn’t hurt performance).
• Familiarity with SEO tooling and content platforms (MDX/Markdown, headless CMS, content pipelines).
• Accessibility experience beyond basics (keyboard, ARIA patterns, reduced motion, contrast).

Success criteria for this role in the next 6-12 months

• The website is meaningfully aligned with the new design system (components, patterns, and rules).
• Core pages have strong and stable Core Web Vitals, and you can clearly explain what changed and why.
• Marketing can ship landing pages faster without regressions in quality, consistency, or tracking.
• At least one interactive product demo is shipped with robust API integration and great UX.

• Cash and equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, and more).
• Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.
• 40+ nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management tea…
