Job Description

About TEGNA


TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.

 

We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Web Developer to join our team responsible for building fast, modern, and user-focused websites for our network of local news stations. This role will focus on building and maintaining high-performance, public-facing web experiences using Svelte (or transitioning into it from similar frameworks like React).
We’re rethinking how we deliver content to millions of users across the U.S., and we’re seeking a developer who thrives on performance, modularity, and innovation.

Responsibilities:
• Develop and maintain responsive, accessible, and high-performance websites using Svelte, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Work with backend teams to integrate RESTful APIs and content feeds.
• Collaborate with designers and product managers to implement user-centric features and iterate based on analytics and feedback.
• Participate in code reviews, sprint planning, and architecture discussions to ensure scalable and maintainable codebases.
• Help establish and promote best practices in modern web development (component-driven development, performance tuning, SEO, accessibility).
• Contribute to the migration of legacy codebases into modular, modern web stacks.
• Integrate 3rd party SDKs such as RudderStack and LaunchDarkly

Requirements:
• 3+ years of experience building modern web applications with strong JavaScript fundamentals.
• Experience in Svelte, React, Vue, or other component-based front-end frameworks.
• Understanding of performance optimization techniques (Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, etc.).
• Familiarity with responsive design principles and cross-browser compatibility.
• Comfort working in agile teams and collaborating across engineering, product, and design.
• Willingness to learn and contribute to a Svelte-based ecosystem (if not already experienced).

Why Join Us

You’ll work alongside smart, motivated people on impactful products that serve real users every day.
