  • Mid to senior-level experience in web development
  • Strong understanding of programming concepts and SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) practices
  • Strong WordPress background, including custom theme, plugin development, and CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment)
  • Comfort working independently with minimal oversight, ideally with freelance or independent work in your background
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate technical constraints and decisions in plain language and in spoken conversation
  • Familiarity with GA4, GTM, REST APIs, Git, and Core Web Vitals
  • Experience working directly with clients or non-technical stakeholders, not just internal tickets

Nice To Have:

  • Actively uses AI development tools in their workflow (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, etc.)
  • Experience with tag management and tracking setup (GTM, data layer)
  • Familiarity with marketing analytics platforms and reporting tools
  • Exposure to multi-location or franchise-style web infrastructure
  • Background in or understanding of digital advertising platforms (Google Ads, Meta)
  • Experience scoping and estimating projects independently

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
  • A dynamic, collaborative, and supportive work environment.
  • The chance to work on meaningful projects that make an impact.
