Senior WordPress Developer

**ABOUT THE COMPANY**

Skyrocket Marketing is a small digital marketing agency specialising in WordPress and development for our agency clients and CRO & SEO for our e-Commerce clients.

We’re looking for a senior WordPress developer that will grow with the business as the team expands and who has an interest in delivering exceptional projects for our clients.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**

We’re looking for an exceptionally logical thinker who can break down complex problems into simple steps to resolve issues.

While others consider CSS to be a simple language, you see it as a complex puzzle with infinite possibilities. You geek out on different frameworks, extending them to meet your needs or potentially crafting your own. You see patterns in the code you write and are constantly looking for ways that you can drive efficiencies and reduce bugs between projects.

You can get lost in the joy of finding solutions to problems in code, but you are also aware of the bigger picture of needing to deliver on time, working across multiple projects within the span of a week from small fixes to larger projects. You have the grit to see a project through to completion, applying the same level of energy and attention to detail right to the end.

This person will be a team player, working with other developers (senior and junior) to deliver projects as well as working to improve our development practice within the team.

You are a communicator and like to explain what is going on with code, what’s gone wrong and what was done to fix it. You’re also not afraid to jump into a project that you haven’t worked on before and read through the code to understand what is happening.

While you don’t consider yourself a designer, you understand design theory and can fill in the design gaps (whoops the designer forgot to provide that tablet layout) when needed maintaining the integrity of the design.

Working on a single screen isn't an option. The more monitors the better to make sure no detail is missed in terms of bugs and when building up themes and plugins based on designs

This position is permanent, full-time and a remote working opportunity. You will need to have your own internet connection, computer and appropriate work space.

**RESPONSIBILITIES**
--- Maintain quality of code produced inline with the project you’re working on and within budget
--- Clearly communicate issues or developments to the team so they can keep clients informed
--- Further development of frameworks the company works with
--- Contribute to planning approaches for new projects
--- Work with the team to resolve support requests
--- Quality Assurance check your own and others work to make sure it’s of the standard we pride ourselves on
--- Identifying and creating process documents for any missing processes
--- Be present and attend all stand-ups

**REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS**
--- 5+ years experience working in an agency environment
--- Experience working with WordPress theming, plugin development and general website projects
--- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop close working relationships with our team
--- Disciplined work Upgrade to see actual infolf-motivated and detail-oriented mindset focused on achieving revenue goals
--- Resourceful, problem solver, organised and process-oriented
--- Ability to work in a fast paced, dynamic and unstructured environment
--- Bonus to have experience with ACF & Elementor
--- Beneficial to have an understanding and knowledge of the development side of marketing and additional platforms like Shopify, Drupal, SilverStripe & HubSpot.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
