Type: Full-time contractor
 

Compensation: $5,000–6,000/month USD
 

The Short Version

Senior Webflow developer to build premium startup websites—high-quality production at pace. Clean, fast, professional sites that make funded startups look like the real companies they're becoming.

We're growing fast. We don't even have a website for our website business yet because client demand has outpaced everything else. You'd be the first dedicated Webflow developer on the team—setting the technical foundation, building the component library, and eventually leading a team as we scale.

If that sounds exciting, keep reading.

About Secret Agency

We build websites for funded startups. $1,000/month subscription, unlimited updates, Webflow-based. Our clients are seed and Series A startups—especially in deep tech, biotech, and AI—who need to look like the real companies they're becoming.
 

We're a spinoff from OPTIO, a pitch deck consultancy that's helped 500+ startups raise over $3B in venture capital. We understand what investors and customers look for, and we build sites that deliver credibility.
 

Currently at $215K ARR and growing fast. Both businesses punch above their weight because we care more than our competitors.
 

What You'll Own

• Ship 4+ sites per month (typically 5-6 pages each) from polished Figma handoffs
• Build the component library and style system that becomes our technical foundation
• Deliver clean, excellent work consistently—with the occasional 'wow' moment when a project calls for it
• Hit 90+ Lighthouse scores across the portfolio
• Handle ongoing updates for existing clients—crisply scoped, delivered to you with clear Figma specs (you won't be fielding random client emails)
   

Success Metrics

• Sites shipped per month (target: 4+, typically 5-6 pages each)
• Client revision rounds per site (target: £2)
• Lighthouse performance scores (target: 90+)
• Average build time from Figma handoff to first review (target: 5 business days)
• Update request turnaround (target: 48 hours)
• Zero sites requiring rebuild due to technical debt

Creativity & Craft

Most of the time, it's about clean, excellent execution—sites that just work. But we love the occasional flourish. When a project calls for it, we want you to experiment with GSAP, Lottie, and custom code to create

interactions that elevate the work. We want someone who knows when to keep it simple and when to add the 'wow' moment.

AI-First Mindset

You use AI to move faster—Cursor, Claude, Relume, whatever gives you leverage. We're not interested in whether you can do it the hard way. We want someone who ships twice as much because they've figured out how to make AI do the tedious parts while they focus on the craft.

The Workflow

You'll receive polished Figma files with clear specs—not napkin sketches, not client emails. Figma on one screen, Webflow on the other. Your job is to translate great designs into great builds with speed, attention to detail, and an eye for beauty.

Must Have

• 5+ years Webflow development
• Portfolio of 15+ live Webflow sites (URLs, not screenshots)
• Expert-level Webflow interactions and animations
• Solid HTML, CSS, JavaScript fundamentals
• Client-First or similar naming methodology
• Webflow CMS and dynamic content
• Responsive design across all breakpoints
• Fluent English

Nice to Have

• GSAP, Lottie, or other animation libraries
• Finsweet attributes and CMS filtering
• Custom code when native Webflow isn't enough
• Performance optimization (lazy loading, image compression, caching)
• Figma proficiency for inspecting designs
• API integrations (Zapier, Make, custom)
• Shopify development (Liquid templates, theme customization, headless builds)
• Previous lead developer or standards-setting experience

Culture

We honor craftsmanship. We take pride in doing excellent, beautiful work even when the client won't notice the details. If cutting corners bothers you, you'll fit in here.

We take care of our people. We have 10 employees across two businesses. In four years, no one has voluntarily left. The people who are good stay, grow, and get paid more every year. This fall, we're flying the whole team to Texas for a retreat at Matt's ranch—steaks, campfires, and yes, cowboy hats.

We work hard and we rest. During work hours, we're all-in. Outside work hours, we expect you to have a life. Take real vacations.

Intellectual curiosity is required. You'll be building sites for AI defense companies one week and biotech startups the next. That should sound interesting to you, not exhausting.

What We Offer

• $5,000–6,000/month depending on experience, paid in USD via direct deposit (Gusto)
• All software covered—Webflow, Figma, AI tools, whatever you need to do great work
• Fully remote—work from wherever, manage your own schedule
• High-quality projects—real design work for real companies, not template churn
• Ownership—you're building the technical foundation and eventually leading a team
• Stability—recurring revenue model means predictable workload, not feast-or-famine
• 15 days PTO + 10 days sick leave annually
• Company retreat—we're flying everyone to Texas this fall for steaks at the ranch
• Annual salary review with performance-based increases
