Senior Web Developer

About Starburst Starburst is the data platform for analytics, applications, and AI, unifying data across clouds and on‑premises to accelerate AI innovation. Organizations—from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises in 60+ countries—rely on Starburst for fast data access, seamless collaboration, and enterprise‑grade governance on an open hybrid data lakehouse. About the role We’re looking for a Senior Web Developer who takes immense pride in their craft.

You won't just be “maintaining” a site; you’ll be owning it. You are the bridge between a beautiful design concept and a high‑performance reality. You’ll own the front‑end, manage the back‑end (currently WordPress), and partner with our Creative, Growth, and Marketing teams to ship work that moves the needle and creates great experiences for our users.

Responsibilities Own the Experience: Develop and maintain a responsive, interactive, and user‑friendly web presence. You’ll handle everything from layout tweaks to deep technical functionality. Performance & SEO: Ensure our site is lightning‑fast and optimized for technical SEO.

You understand that every millisecond of lag is a lost opportunity. Design Partnership: Collaborate closely with our Brand and Design teams to translate UI/UX visions into living, breathing web pages. You have an eye for detail and won’t settle for “close enough.” Optimization & Growth: Implement A/B tests and analytics tracking to help our Growth team understand what’s working and what’s not.

Technical Integration: Keep our marketing stack (CRM, Analytics, Email) humming by ensuring seamless integrations with the site. Quality & Standards: Act as the gatekeeper for brand guidelines, accessibility (WCAG) standards, and data privacy. You test thoroughly because you care about the user’s journey.

Future‑Proofing: While we’re on a stable stack now, you’ll help us evaluate and eventually migrate to new technologies when the time is right. Qualifications 5+ years of experience in front‑end or full‑stack web development, specifically within a high‑growth B2B SaaS or tech environment. CMS Expertise: Significant experience building and scaling sites on platforms like WordPress (our current home), but a working knowledge of headless options (Contentful, Sanity) for the future.

Modern Frameworks: Proficiency with (or a deep interest in) React, Next.js, or similar frameworks as we look toward our future tech stacks. The “Builder” Mindset: You are proactive. You don’t wait for a ticket to fix a bug; you see a friction point and you solve it.

Design Sensibility: You actually care about how things look. You understand padding, typography, and why a specific animation makes the UX feel “premium.” Collaboration Skills: You can explain technical trade‑offs to a marketer and brand strategy to a dev, while keeping projects moving forward. Location This is a hybrid role ideally based in our Boston or San Francisco hubs (1‑2 days per week in‑office).

Expect about 25% travel for team offsites, onboarding, and hitting major milestones together. Compensation & Benefits Starburst is dedicated to maintaining fair and equitable compensation practices. The salary range for this role is $107,000 - $137,000 USD.

All employees receive equity packages (ISOs) and have access to a comprehensive benefits offering. Actual compensation packages are determined based on relevant skills, experience, education, and training, and specific work location. Culture & Diversity We are committed to fostering an intentional, inclusive, and diverse culture that drives deep engagement, authentic belonging, and an exceptional All‑Star experience.

We believe that diversity of thought, perspective, background and experience will enable us to own what we do, drive our success, and empower our All‑Stars to show up authentically.
