You’ll work closely with internal developers and designers, translating UX direction into polished, production-ready templates.

CMS Development & Theming
Build, update, and maintain CMS templates, themes, and reusable modules for a multilingual site (primarily English + French).
Implement responsive and accessible front-end experiences aligned with brand guidelines.
Improve CMS authoring workflows and ensure smooth content editing for business users.
Identify and fix layout, styling, and cross-browser issues across CMS-managed pages.

Develop custom modules and templates using HubL, HubDB, and HubSpot’s design tools.
Help standardize HubSpot themes and reduce redundant assets.
Support the Marketing team with landing page creation, campaign setups, and content adjustments.

Write clean, maintainable HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript.
Ensure strong performance, accessibility (A11y), and mobile-first responsiveness.
Integrate front-end components with APIs or CMS-driven dynamic data.
Maintain consistency across modules through reusable patterns and shared styles.
Collaboration & Delivery
Work with developers, designers, and Marketing stakeholders to refine requirements.
Communicate timelines and blockers clearly, especially given fast-turnaround expectations.
Participate in code reviews and align with internal coding standards.
Deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight in an iterative Agile environment.
Required Experience
3–5 years of professional front-end development experience.
Strong skills in HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, and JavaScript.
Hands-on experience building or customizing CMS sites/themes (HubSpot, WordPress, or similar).
Comfortable developing or translating designs from Figma/Adobe XD into modular front-end components.
Solid understanding of UX patterns, responsive design, and accessibility.
Familiarity with Git and Agile workflows.
Nice to Have
Direct experience with HubSpot CMS development (CLI, HubL, HubDB, custom themes, modules).
Experience integrating CMS components with REST APIs.
Experience optimizing CMS performance (image handling, asset bundling, etc.).

Must be able to deliver high-quality front-end work with autonomy.
Availability for regular check-ins (in-person or remote) with internal development and Marketing teams.
Ability to support fast-paced, iterative changes (property updates, campaign pages, etc.).
