Design Engineer (Growth & Marketing)

About Town

Town is building the AI coworker for every team. Everyone gets their own Townie, an AI assistant that learns how you work (your voice, judgment, relationships, and priorities) and does real work on your behalf across email, calendar, docs, Slack, and CRM. Townies don't wait to be prompted. They observe, learn, and act. And because every teammate has one, Townies can ask each other questions and hand off work, so the whole team moves faster together.

Four months after our public launch, we became a $1B company. We recently raised a $108M Series B, co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, with continued support from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round Capital and angels such as Zach Perret, Soleio Cuervo, Scott Belsky, and more. Our founders, Jean-Denis Greze and Tony Vincent, previously led EPD at Plaid and applied AI product at Google.

About the Role

As a Design Engineer, you'll own the design and engineering of our marketing website, translating established brand guidelines into exceptional marketing experiences. You'll sit within Marketing and work closely with brand, product marketing, growth, and engineering to help people understand Town, build trust, and convert.

What you'll do

• Translate brand guidelines into marketing experiences. Design and build launch pages, campaign landing pages, and new website sections, carrying the work from brief through production. Apply Town's established visual language to each page, and guide external agencies when they contribute.

• Help the website grow the business. Partner with marketing to identify opportunities and implement A/B tests, landing-page variations, personalization, and conversion-flow improvements. Build reusable testing patterns and self-service workflows that let non-technical partners launch experiments independently.

• Make the experience polished, accessible, and fast. Bring precision to typography, spacing, responsive behavior, and motion. Test across browsers, devices, and assistive technologies, and measure performance so improvements hold up in production.

• Improve the CMS and supporting website stack. Maintain and improve reusable templates and publishing workflows so marketing can update and create pages reliably.

• Build reusable design and engineering foundations. Maintain the Town website's components, patterns, and design tokens. Apply the brand system consistently, document how the pieces work, and use automated checks to keep new contributions aligned.

• Use automation where it makes a practical difference. Build AI-assisted content workflows, integrations, or other automations that reduce manual marketing work.

You might thrive in this role if you...

• Are strong in both front-end engineering and web design. You can design a complete marketing experience and build it in production. You've shipped work with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, supported by HTML and CSS fundamentals. You make sound decisions about rendering, component APIs, responsive behavior, performance, and maintainability.

• Have a proven track record of business impact. You've shipped marketing websites and experiments that achieved measurable business outcomes, and can explain your contribution and the results. You know how to implement reliable instrumentation and tests that scale, and make experimentation accessible to non-technical partners.

• Enjoy working closely with marketing and creative partners. You can turn a marketing goal into a clear design and technical plan, guide agency collaborators, explain trade-offs, and keep work moving. You take responsibility for the website's quality and follow through on what you ship.

• Can apply established brand guidelines to effective web experiences. You bring strong judgment in page structure, visual hierarchy, and interactions. You can show shipped work that balances brand expression, usability, and performance.

• Balance those exceptional branded experiences with business goals. You know how to make work distinctive and memorable while helping people understand the product and take action. You make thoughtful trade-offs between creative expression, usability, and conversion.

• Understand the systems behind a marketing website. You've worked with structured content, CMS templates, previews, and publishing workflows used by non-technical contributors. You've also connected websites to analytics, CRM, and marketing automation platforms, collaborating with the teams that administer them.

• Treat foundations and accessibility as part of the craft. You can work with typography scales, color roles, spacing, layout rules, and design tokens across Figma and code. You design and implement accessible components and interactions, and can explain how you test them.

• Have developed an effective AI coding workflow. Agents are part of how you build, and you take responsibility for the quality of their output. You know where they help, where they fail, and how to evaluate new tools against the work in front of you.
