Design Engineer, Growth & Marketing

Details

Perplexity is looking for a Design Engineer to help turn perplexity.com into a growth engine rather than a collection of one-off pages. The role works closely with brand designers, PMMs, growth, and content teams to ship product launch pages, campaign landing pages, and the components and tooling that enable teams to move quickly without lowering quality.

This is a hands-on role for someone with strong design taste, sharp attention to detail, and the ability to turn a Figma file, Slack thread, or rough sketch into a polished, shipped page quickly.

Tech stack: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Sanity

Responsibilities

• Ship product launch pages and evergreen marketing pages for products such as Comet, Computer, Deep Research, Search, and Hub, owning the work from Figma handoff through production.
• Partner with brand designers to build interactive experiences that make the site feel alive and drive engagement.
• Maintain and extend the brand design system and component library, keeping Figma and production in sync so brand and creative teams can scaffold pages with guardrails.
• Work with paid advertising and growth teams to run A/B tests on landing pages, popups, and upsell modules, analyze the results, and iterate.
• Migrate remaining Framer collections to Sanity, model schemas that non-engineers can use, and help ship content types such as changelog, customer stories, and academy pages.
• Design and unblock work independently when design resources are constrained, turning rough direction into shippable work.
• Improve CMS workflows, internationalization, SEO, experimentation, and internal tooling for marketing self-service.
• Identify and fix manual processes that slow the team down.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a front-end or design engineer, ideally working on a marketing or growth site.
• A portfolio site demonstrating previous work on marketing sites and design work.
• Strong skills in React, CSS, and modern frameworks.
• Deep understanding of responsive design and design-to-code workflows, with current knowledge of platform capabilities and developments.
• Experience maintaining a reusable component library and implementing detailed design work in code.
• Strong visual design judgment and attention to detail.
• Stellar communication skills and a track record of effective cross-functional collaboration.
• Ability to defend decisions, push back constructively, and explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Desire to work in a fast-paced environment, continuously grow, and master the craft.

Nice to Have

• Experience running A/B tests and interpreting experiment results in a growth context.
• Knowledge of SEO principles, structured data, and localization workflows.
• Experience with web animations, including GSAP, Motion, or the Web Animations API; 3D libraries; or interactive storytelling.
• Experience with a headless CMS such as Sanity or Contentful.
• Experience building internal tools or AI-assisted workflows that improve the efficiency of marketing or design teams.

Compensation and Benefits

• Estimated base salary: $180,000–$300,000 USD per year.
• Equity offered.
• Full-time U.S. employees receive benefits including health, dental, vision, retirement, fitness, commuter and dependent care accounts, and more.
• International employees receive a benefits program tailored to their region of residence.
• Final offer amounts depend on factors including experience and expertise.
