Overview: We’re looking for a Front-end Developer to join the Digital Strategy, Experience & Delivery team in Marketing at Progress. The team builds and maintains public websites across Progress product brands, with a focus on accessibility, search visibility and website performance. You’ll build web pages and interfaces from approved UX and visual designs, advise on technical decisions early and manage your work from estimation through release. You’ll work with colleagues in Digital Strategy, UX, Design, QA, SEO/AEO, Content and back-end engineering, as well as business stakeholders. You’ll need to organise your own work, understand the business purpose of each request and flag risks early. We expect you to ask questions and recommend solutions without needing detailed instructions for every task.

In this role you will:

• Own front-end implementation for assigned marketing website initiatives, from technical assessment and estimation through development, UAT support and release.
• Turn approved wireframes and visual designs into responsive, cross-browser and accessible interfaces using semantic HTML, modern CSS and JavaScript.
• Check technical feasibility, clarify requirements and recommend approaches that are maintainable, meet platform standards and balance user needs with delivery timelines.
• Build and maintain reusable components and templates to keep websites consistent and reduce one-off development.
• Make content and configuration updates in the CMS when required, while following publishing, governance and quality standards.
• Partner with QA to resolve defects and ensure work meets agreed acceptance criteria before release.
• Optimise front-end performance, accessibility, code quality and maintainability, and raise technical risks or dependencies early.
• Work directly with business stakeholders and colleagues across teams, keeping them informed of progress, trade-offs and blockers.
• Plan and manage your own workload across multiple priorities, meet commitments and keep work status and documentation current.
• Use approved AI coding assistants where useful, and review and test all generated code before using it.

Your background:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent is required.
• 3+ years of professional experience in a product development organization, with a strong background in designing and delivering scalable, high-quality software solutions.
• Solid hands-on knowledge of semantic HTML5, modern CSS, responsive layouts, custom properties and container queries.
• Proficiency in modern JavaScript (ES6+) and browser developer tools.
• Understanding of web accessibility standards and the ability to apply accessibility requirements during implementation.
• Experience with Git-based workflows, npm and CI/CD concepts.
• Experience implementing interfaces from Figma or Adobe design files with strong attention to detail.
• Practical knowledge of cross-browser testing, debugging and front-end performance optimization.
• Experience working with a CMS; experience with Sitefinity, another enterprise CMS or a headless CMS is an advantage.
• Experience using AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code or Cursor, together with sound judgement about code quality, security and limitations.
• Working understanding of LLM concepts such as prompts, tokens, hallucinations and the need to validate generated output.
• Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to work directly with business and technical stakeholders across regions.

Nice to have:

• Experience with enterprise marketing websites, multi-brand environments, or high-volume web delivery.
• Familiarity with SEO/AEO implementation requirements, analytics tagging or conversion-focused landing pages.
• Exposure to design systems, component libraries, automated testing or front-end observability.
• Experience collaborating with geographically distributed teams.

This role is based in India and requires regular overlap with US business hours to work with colleagues and stakeholders.
