A fast-growing startup focused on providing high quality, plant-based nutrition, Ora Organic, is looking for a technically adept front-end developer with an eye for business, sales and design.

You will work with the CTO and Marketing Team to develop and enhance the Ora Organic website, landing pages, affiliate pages, market research campaigns, email campaigns, company dashboards, (beautiful) reporting templates, and more.

Ora Organic is a tech-enabled digitally native startup (think Warby Parker, Bonobos, or Everlane of nutrition), primarily focused on selling direct through its website, as well as on Amazon. With new sales channels opening up domestically and internationally in the next few months, the ideal candidate will have extensive experience working with front-end technologies for e-commerce stores, including JS, jQuery, HTML, CSS, SASS and Shopify Liquid. On top of that, you will have a solid grasp on concepts like SEO, Conversion Rate Optimization, A/B Testing (Optimizely, Google Optimize), Pixel Tracking, and an intuition for what makes a great User Experience. Additional knowledge of SQL, d3.js, RoR, AnimeJS a great bonus.

This is not your typical front-end dev role; our CTO acts primarily as a growth hacker in close partnership with the marketing and customer service teams. You will be the primary technical contact for these teams, and work with them to develop high converting, on-brand campaigns (and growth hacks), with a focus on acquiring new customers and generating revenue.
