Senior Web Designer & Frontend Developer

Salary: $100,000 – $110,000 per year

You'll autonomously design and build websites for new recruitment agencies, end to end. Working closely with each new agency, you'll take their loose concepts and turn them into tight, elegant, powerful websites that convert, on a timeline that brings energy and excitement to every build.

This is a rare design, build and client-conversation role. You get to shape the first days of a new business.

About XRecruiter

XRecruiter helps ambitious recruiters launch, operate and grow their own agencies. They come to us with a name and an idea. They leave with a brand, a website and a business that is genuinely theirs. We call them partners, because that's how the relationship works.

The website is where the whole thing stops being a plan and becomes a company. It's the first thing a candidate sees. It's the link a founder sends to their family. You make that.

You'll design it and you'll build it. Same person, same site, start to finish. No handing a concept to a developer, no inheriting someone else's markup, and no internal approval queue between you and a decision. The partner signs off at each phase; nobody else needs to.

Ownership doesn't mean isolation. You'll sit inside a hands-on team of senior designers, with a brand designer shaping visual direction on every build and the rest of the team close enough to pull into a problem when you want a second pair of eyes.

The pace is quick and the work is real. Nothing you make sits in a folder waiting on a decision. It goes live, it carries a business, and then you start the next one.

What you'll do

Design

• Take part in, contribute to, and occasionally lead brand workshops with new partners

• Take each site from concept, through development to the live site

• Bring partners' concepts, hopes and dreams into reality through a structured process

• Design every site from scratch, based on your knowledge of the industry, best practice, current trends, and what will convert best for that partner.

Build

• Build in Webflow using the Lumos framework

• CMS integration and API calls so a strong technical knowledge is a must-have.

• Bring an eye for detail to development. We work to best practice on every project.

Partners

• Build and own the relationship from day one as the industry expert: lead each phase of the design process, get sign-offs, manage feedback, and keep partners across the project for absolute clarity. Most relationships are ongoing.

• Manage your workflow around ad-hoc inbound jobs from existing partners

Team

• Join a small, tight-knit, highly functioning group of senior specialists

• Team players, with genuine positivity and love for what they do need apply.

• Opportunity to mentor from both a design and a technical standpoint

What you'll bring

• 5+ years designing and building websites, with a portfolio that shows both skills equally

• Deep Webflow experience across CMS collections, interactions and custom code, at senior level and ideally on Lumos or other class-based framework

• Strong JavaScript and front-end fundamentals.

• Comfortable working with third-party APIs unaided.

• Strong Figma skills and the ability to present your work with reasons and justification for the decisions you've made

• A real eye for typography, spacing and hierarchy. You can extend a brand direction, not just apply it.

• Judgement across UI and UX: structure, hierarchy, responsive behaviour, accessibility

• Time management at a Senior level for multiple jobs at any one point

• The temperament for pace. You'd rather ship good work often than polish one thing for a quarter.

• A strong, polite, confident and genuinely caring communicator. This is a must.

Nice to have

• A tight Figma to Webflow workflow

• Core Web Vitals

• CMS experience

• Motion and micro-interaction work

What this role isn't

• A template role. Nothing repeats between sites.

• Design only. You build what you design.

• Development only. That's a separate senior creative developer role.

• SEO as a service, analytics, ongoing QA, or graphic collateral (job ads, socials, email signatures). Our graphics team owns those.

Why you'll want this

• Full ownership of the craft. You make the call on structure, interaction and code, then you live with it.

• Range. Every partner is a different business with a different audience, so no two builds repeat.

• A body of work that grows quickly, all of it live, all of it yours

• Hybrid, based in our Teneriffe office

Details

• Teneriffe, Brisbane

• Full-time, permanent

• Hybrid

• Reports to the team lead, a fellow designer

• [Salary range: to be confirmed]
