Are you excited by the idea of taking large, complex, and messy web properties and turning them into intuitive, seamless user experiences?

Do you enjoy soliciting daily feedback from non-technical team members (vs. solely relying on a computational thinking perspective)?

Do you like separating the design from the programming by using your creative talents to mock up a solution to a customer problem and then write code to implement the solution?

If "YES!"- then apply.

If "NO!" - then these aren't the droids you're looking for.

We're looking to hire a UX Engineer who is equally talented at coding and design. Someone who can visualize and communicate solutions to customer problems and implement changes globally (vs. one page at a time). We own a number of domains but focus primarily on www.240tutoring.com.

Let's talk about it for a moment….

It's a 1000+ page website that sells test prep materials to aspiring and current teachers to help them pass their certification exams. We've created a developer-friendly website (vs. marketing friendly) that has been pieced together over the years, and now is quite hard to update. Because we sell 450 different products, it makes it hard to update all similar pages at one time. And when we do, we create an even more pieced-together experience since we haven't had the design experience at the time.

That's where you come in. We need someone who can implement large global changes that reflect the true quality of our brand, which is the best test prep product on the market.

The success of this role is measured by increased engagement rates, conversion rates, and SERP rankings.

The Marketing Department

We are a small, nimble group of 4, with team values that we stand by. We believe in and support each other professionally and personally and put the customer first. We have a highly respected content strategy that ranks #1 for tons of keywords and best-in-class video content that stretches across product and marketing. Although our team is very skilled, we always have each other's back and tend to put a lot of trust in each other. We welcome feedback from one another and understand we each have a voice that contributes value.

The Company

For the past ten years, 240 Tutoring has grown from a small, Texas-based company to a national company with a team of over 40!

We help good people be great teachers. The world needs great teachers. We create products and services that prepare, empower, and inspire them.

The Position - Core Duties

Website Strategy

Own the UX strategy of our websites, ensuring a seamless user experience that pushes users down the buyer journey via rich personalization and conversion optimization (with integrations via CRMs and/or CDPs).
Help develop projects that contribute to business outcomes, including conversion rates (subscriptions), email capture rates, engagement metrics, page depth, and more.

Design & Development:

Design tools (Figma, etc.):

Develop mock-ups that help visualize and communicate new user experiences that improve engagement and conversion rates.
Test designs via A/B or multivariate testing to reach statistical significance.

React.js:

Develop and maintain React.js applications, components, and libraries.
Ensure components are reusable, scalable, and maintainable.

WordPress:

Customize WordPress themes and develop custom themes and plugins to meet specific requirements. Integrate third-party APIs as required.

Responsive Web Design:

Ensure all web UIs are fully responsive and compatible with different browsers and devices. Use CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation, if necessary.

Team management

Manage contractors as needed to fill gaps so you can focus on the high-value items.

Performance Optimization:

Improve the speed and performance of websites by optimizing assets, reducing HTTP requests, and using techniques such as lazy loading and asynchronous loading.
Implement cache strategies for both React.js applications and WordPress sites.

Product Collaboration:

Work closely with our product team to implement design systems across web and product and create seamless user experiences across both.

Maintaining Code Quality:

Write clean, maintainable, and documented code.
Adopt and enforce best practices, such as code reviews, and use tools like ESLint or Prettier to maintain consistent coding standards.

Integration:

Integrate front-end components with server-side logic, working closely with back-end developers.

Version Control:

Use version control systems, like Git, efficiently. Manage branching, merging, and conflict resolution.

Testing:

Write unit tests for React components using libraries like Jest or React Testing Library.
Perform cross-browser and cross-device testing to ensure compatibility and functionality.
Accessibility: Ensure all web content is accessible according to web accessibility guidelines (like WCAG).

Documentation:

Create documentation for code, components, and libraries to ensure that other developers can understand and work with your contributions.

Security:

Ensure that websites and applications are secure against common web vulnerabilities. In the context of WordPress, this might involve ensuring that themes, plugins, and the core are regularly updated.

Web Hosting:

Make changes to records in DNS to allow legitimacy in the tools we use.
