This is a hands-on role for a detail-oriented developer who’s confident in their code, collaborative with designers and marketers, and passionate about user experience and performance.

You’ll lead web projects from strategy to deployment, working closely with a junior developer and cross-functional teams. You’ll help define our dev standards, contribute to technical architecture decisions, and play a key role in optimizing our web output for both speed and SEO.

• Maintain and update legacy WordPress websites as needed
• Collaborate with designers to ensure pixel-perfect implementation of creative work
• Ensure all sites are optimized for performance, accessibility, and SEO
• Deploy and manage sites using modern tools like Vercel
• Support and mentor a junior developer; help establish and evolve best practices
• Stay current with emerging technologies and bring new ideas to the table
• Work with marketing and analytics teams to support tracking, testing, and optimization initiatives

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of front-end development experience in an agency or fast-paced environment
• Working knowledge of databases, API architecture, and basic server-side principles
• Familiarity with technical SEO, schema markup, and best practices for indexability and performance
• Experience with WordPress (including theme modification and plugin usage)
• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and responsive design
• Version control (Git) and modern deployment workflows
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to self-manage deadlines and priorities

Added Advantages

• Experience with A/B testing, analytics integration, or marketing funnels
