  • Collaborate with UX/UI designers and backend developers to bridge design and functionality
  • Optimize websites for speed, scalability, and search engine visibility
  • Apply ADA compliance standards and SEO fundamentals in all deliverables
  • Leverage Advanced Custom Fields and modern development tools to streamline workflows

  • Deep expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP
  • Proven experience building custom WordPress themes and plugins from scratch
  • Familiarity with Git/Bitbucket for version control
  • Solid understanding of WordPress core architecture
  • Experience working with MySQL databases
  • Skill in writing preprocessors like SASS, SCSS, or LESS
  • Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and maintain high standards
  • Commitment to continuous learning and self-directed growth

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Participation in pre-sales activities such as scoping or RFP responses
  • Knowledge of JavaScript frameworks including React or Angular
  • Experience with vanilla.js, ES6+, and Gutenberg block development
  • Familiarity with Laravel, CodeIgniter, or NodeJS
  • Use of task runners (Gulp, Grunt, Webpack) and compilers like Babel
  • Background in testing methodologies
  • At least three years in an agency environment
