Dovetail is the Customer Intelligence Platform for the entire organization. We unify fragmented feedback from every touchpoint, including sales calls, support tickets, and research, into a single AI-powered intelligence layer that empowers every team to build, sell, and serve with confidence. Founded in ****, we are a team of 100+ across our offices in Sydney and San Francisco, working with thousands of teams from Fortune 500 companies to the world's most innovative startups.
The best never guess. We help teams turn the noise of thousands of customer interactions into the signal required to move faster, prioritize better, and drive revenue.
About the role
As our Senior Web Engineer, you will partner with Marketing, Creative, and Engineering to own dovetail.com end to end. Our website carries our category story, product launches, customer proof, and the paths that turn interest into pipeline.
You'll own both what customers see and the system behind it. You'll ship high-craft pages and interactions, while improving the architecture, components, content models, instrumentation, and delivery workflows that let the wider team move quickly without lowering the quality bar.
You do not need to arrive an expert in our current stack, but you need deep web fundamentals and the judgment to improve a production codebase.
This is a senior individual contributor role for a builder. You'll set direction, ship code yourself, and turn good engineering decisions into systems the whole team can use.
This is a full-time in person-first role (in office 4 days a week), working from our Surry Hills HQ.
What you'll do
Own dovetail.com.
Take responsibility for the production health, technical roadmap, architecture, and ongoing development of our marketing website.
Ship high-craft web experiences.
Turn ambitious creative and marketing ideas into responsive, accessible, production-quality pages and interactions. Protect the design intent through to the final browser render.
Build the platform behind the pages.
Improve our reusable components, design tokens, typed content models, page-generation pipelines,
and authoring workflows so launches, customer stories, solution pages, and campaigns can ship quickly and safely.
Build for growth.
Partner with Demand Generation and Growth to improve landing pages optimized for conversation, forms, calls to action, personalization, and high-intent journeys. Implement trustworthy experiments, analytics, and lead integrations so we can see what works.
Make the site fast, findable, and reliable.
Improve Core Web Vitals, page weight, image delivery, accessibility, metadata, structured data, redirects, cross-browser behavior, testing, and deployment reliability.
Build an AI-powered web function.
Use coding agents and AI-assisted workflows to improve implementation, testing, quality assurance, migrations, and content operations. Build internal tools and guardrails that help the wider team move faster without trading away quality.
Lead through the work.
Set standards through code review, documentation, and clear architecture decisions. Explain tradeoffs well and raise the capability of everyone who contributes to the website.
Skills and experience
Taste.
A high visual and interaction bar. You notice the typography, spacing, motion, loading behavior, and responsive details that separate a page that works from one that feels finished.
AI fluency as craft.
Hands‐on with coding agents and modern AI tools such as Claude or Codex, with examples of workflows, prompts, and review loops you have improved over time. You use AI to move faster without outsourcing engineering judgment.
A systems builder.
Comfortable owning a web platform end to end, including architecture, reusable components, content systems, build tooling, deployment, observability, and the developer experience around them.
Strong web engineering fundamentals.
Five or more years building production web experiences, with deep experience in React and TypeScript plus strong command of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, browser behavior, networking, and rendering.
Performance and accessibility craft.
You have improved real‐user performance and can build inclusive experiences using semantic HTML, keyboard access, focus behavior, responsive design, and restrained motion.
Hands‐on in the weeds.
You inspect the network trace, profile the slow interaction, debug the failed build, tune the responsive layout, validate the analytics event, and ship the fix. You do the work, not just design the architecture.
Commercial judgment.
You understand that a marketing website exists to communicate clearly, earn trust, and create demand. You can balance engineering quality with launch speed and know where polish materially changes the outcome.
A strong cross-functional collaborator
across Creative, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Growth, Product Engineering, Data, and Revenue Operations.
Bias to action.
You would rather ship a robust implementation, learn from real behavior, and improve the system than wait for perfect requirements.
Experience with NextJS, GraphQL, Emotion, Netlify, Buildkite, Segment, HubSpot, or Salesforce is useful, but strong fundamentals and evidence of what you have built matter more than a perfect match to our stack.
About you
You sweat the details. You care how the page feels, not just whether it builds. You can hold a clear technical point of view and stay humble when the evidence changes your mind. You have a clear bias to action and can drive to clear outcomes in ambiguity. You will thrive here if you want to compound your engineering craft with AI, rather than defend a pre-AI way of working.
Why you'll love it here
We hire smart people and look after them well! Here's the deal:
Equity for everyone.
Competitive base salary plus options, so every builder is aligned on long‐term impact.
