Staff Web Engineer — Marketing

About the Role

Deepgram builds foundational voice AI and deepgram.com is where the world meets it. The site is our digital front door, showcasing our products, brand moments, and pricing information, and it drives the company's self-serve revenue.

We're hiring a Staff Web Engineer to own the site's code for the long haul. Deepgram.com is entering its next chapter — we are fully refreshing the experience top to bottom. You'll be the person who knows the site inside out. You'll own the repo, the architecture, the Sanity environments, and the QA bar, and act as the code-review gate for day-to-day page and content work.

The team is small but scaling. You will be working on the Web team reporting into the Head of Brand & Awareness and closely collaborating with our Senior Web Manager, product, marketing, sales, and external development partners.

As an AI company, you must be AI-native. Agents and AI tooling are your go-to in how you choose to build, review, and QA. We are aiming to build a machine-first, voice-first site experience.

What You'll Do

• Own the deepgram.com codebase end to end — the Next.js application (front and back end), the GitHub repo, branching and CI/CD, and code review
• Optimize and maintain Sanity CMS architecture — schemas, the reusable module library, the staging and production environments and publishing workflow
• Run the global design system, component library, Vercel platform and spearhead AI integrations. Experienced with global CSS systems.
• Build and run the site's QA program — starting with a well-structured and scalable staging environment that keeps a marketing site launch-ready at all times
• Lead internationalization and localization efforts — language-locale URL and routing architecture, hreflang, and the path from i18n plumbing to localized (l10n) content
• Assist in technical SEO — site architecture, redirects, Core Web Vitals — with on-page SEO executed by content partners inside your review gate
• Ensure LLM discoverability (AEO) — the site's structured data, metadata, and content architecture must serve answer engines as well as people
• Technical infrastructure for experimentation — develop the mechanisms to support the site's experimentation program
• Marketing Ops partnership — implementation of forms, gated content, and attribution instrumentation (GTM, GA4, HubSpot)
• Cybersecurity posture — maintain security and run routine safety audits across dependencies and scripts
• High-velocity shipping — ship complex site improvements and launch campaign pages in a product-driven atmosphere
• AI-native workflow — use agents in your daily build process and create tooling for safe marketing publishing

We Are Looking for Candidates With:

• Marketing web development background — ownership of marketing sites, not just product surfaces
• Enterprise repository ownership: branching strategy, CI/CD, and a strong code-review culture
• Headless CMS architecture — Next.js with Sanity strongly preferred
• Modern React ecosystem for the web
• Vercel as a production platform
• AI-native development — ability to demonstrate concrete use of AI agents and tooling in your workflow
• High level of ownership & accountability — a hand raiser who's ready to join an ambitious team and company
• Technical leadership — directing or reviewing the work of agency developers

Our Ideal Candidates Also Have:

• Prior experience with internationalization (i18n/l10n): URL architecture, locale routing, and multi-region infrastructure
• Familiarity with A/B testing on production marketing sites
• Interest in voice AI and the future of voice-interactive web experiences
