About the team

Web Presence and Platform is organized into two pillars, each of which is grouped into pods that focus on the central tenets of Company's public mission. The Presence pillar creates industry-leading designs for Company’s front door surfaces, educating customers about the power of our platform, sharing Company’s ideas and expertise with the public, and driving adoption. The Platform pillar builds the internal machinery that powers these surfaces, and is responsible for making our websites fast, stable, and easy to update.

Together we design and build Company.com and other sites that amount to what is, for many, their first impression of Company. As such, WPP offers exciting opportunities to have a major impact on Company’s success. We want to make every pixel count, we want it to be enthralling, and we want to help other Companys seamlessly benefit from our systematic work.

• What you’ll do

As a Design Engineer you will concept, prototype, and build new experiences for our web presence. You’ll build new tools and experiences to illustrate the value of Company’s products. You’ll often craft individual experiences or animations that distill a complex topic into a simple concept, such as Company.com/checkout . You’ll constantly consider in-browser performance, SEO and discoverability, and accessibility. You’ll both use existing components and create new ones for other designers and engineers to consume and build upon.

All Design Engineers in WPP have a shared commitment to user experience and craft, but each pod has subtly different focus areas. The Collective pod leverages design, animation, and interaction to drive awareness, educate prospective users, and share Company’s expertise across public surfaces such as Company.com , Company Sessions , Company Press , and Link . The Expansion pod brings the same creativity and executional rigor to attracting new prospects and driving conversion, focusing on user journeys, interactive and highly polished tools for users, and building targeted experiences for our global users.

As a Design Engineer on the Expansion pod, you will bring a high standard for creativity and execution to a variety of high-impact opportunities. You will reimagine the user experience moments that contribute to acquisition journeys. You will build delightful and original interactive tools and resources that attract users. You will collaborate deeply across design, engineering, and cross-functional teams and work across teams and tech stacks to create new site capabilities.
