About the role

BigMarker is looking for a skilled, solutions-oriented, and customer-facing Front End Engineer to bridge the gap between our core platform and our enterprise clients' bespoke event experiences.

The ideal candidate combines deep front-end development expertise with strong communication skills and a passion for delivering polished, high-converting user interfaces. In this role, you will work directly with BigMarker’s enterprise customers to architect, build, and deploy custom event experiences, tailored registration flows, and complex front-end API integrations.

We are looking for tech-forward, adaptable, and dedicated engineers who thrive in a collaborative environment. If you enjoy solving complex UI/UX challenges, interacting directly with stakeholders, and seeing your code power flagship events for global brands, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities

Custom Front-End Development & Delivery

• Architect, develop, and deploy bespoke, responsive event portals and custom interfaces tailored to enterprise customer brand guidelines.
• Build reusable, modular UI components and interactive widgets that extend the live webinar and post-event experience.
• Ensure security, accessibility (WCAG), and rendering efficiency of front-end code across global, high-concurrency live events.

Customer Collaboration & Technical Advisory

• Partner directly with enterprise clients and agencies to gather technical requirements, evaluate feasibility, and translate business goals into functional web experiences.
• Provide technical guidance and best-practice recommendations on UI/UX optimization, page load speeds, and front-end architecture.
• Communicate technical concepts, trade-offs, and timelines clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Platform Integrations & Troubleshooting

• Implement seamless front-end integrations connecting our platform with third-party automation, CRM, and SSO tools via REST APIs and custom scripts.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve customer-reported front-end issues and CSS/JS conflicts in real time with a high sense of ownership.

What We Are Looking For

• BA/BS degree or equivalent practical work experience.
• 3–5+ years of professional Front-End Engineering experience, with a strong portfolio of shipping production-grade, responsive web applications or custom client experiences.
• Deep proficiency in core web technologies: Semantic HTML5, modern CSS3 (Flexbox, Grid, animations, preprocessors), and JavaScript (ES6+) / TypeScript.
• Familiarity with modern web frameworks and server-rendered environments (e.g., React, Vue, or Node.js). Familiarity with MVC backend templating is a plus.
• Customer-facing experience: Prior background in Solutions Engineering, digital agencies, or client-facing roles where you collaborated directly with external stakeholders.
• UI/UX sensibility: Strong eye for design detail, typography, and translating Figma/Adobe XD mockups into pixel-perfect, high-converting interfaces.
• Strong debugging & security instincts: Fluency in browser DevTools, network inspection, performance profiling, and resolving cross-origin (CORS) or third-party script conflicts safely.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for collaborating seamlessly with both internal engineers and non-technical clients.
