Full Stack Dev | 3+ Years Experience

Our client is looking for a full-stack WordPress developer to help them build beautiful and functional websites for their clients. Their work reflects values and is passionate about ‘growing the good’.

They are not a software development agency, it's a forward-thinking agency that needs a resourceful developer on staff to build new projects for clients, maintain existing projects and project maintenance, while also helping to guide their future of technology.

You should be ready to play multiple roles across agency life, a 360-degree experience that's in addition to writing excellent code.

You should be excited to work with a creative team that is not all tech-savvy and be ready to build solutions that work for our clients.

You should be ready to jump in and problem-solve solutions as they arise.

You should be willing to occasionally play an IT role for our client's internal systems and hardware.

You'll work closely with the UX/IA designer, digital marketing team, and designers. They are a small and collaborative team, where you will have an important role developing and maintaining client websites, often with 2-3 ongoing projects. Though their digital projects vary, a large portion of their work involves building customized WordPress websites and user interfaces from the ground up.
