We Work Remotely
We’re looking for a seasoned WordPress developer to join our team. Core responsibilities will include:
  • Developing new WordPress sites based on a created design/guide and advancing our site build standards.
  • Building and supporting complex Gravity Forms.
  • Building and supporting WP Fusion and Zapier setups (restricted content areas, CRM syncing, auto-login, etc.).
  • Building and supporting portals/membership areas (login/gated content).
  • Building and supporting basic WooCommerce stores with advanced functionality requirements.
  • Researching, troubleshooting, and identifying solutions to resolve errors with plugins, themes, and hosting/server/domains.
  • Ensuring cross-browser support for new site builds before they launch.
  • Optimizing sites (web vitals, cleaning up indexed links/redirects, organizing the back end).
  • Connecting 3rd party APIs to the website.
  • Taking ownership of issues or requests from our clients and seeing them through until they are resolved.
  • Checking the quality of work by reviewing everything that goes back to the client and ensuring that it’s up to our standards.
  • Creating client-friendly documentation.
As an ideal candidate, you should:
  • Be experienced with WordPress and website best practices (mobile responsive layouts, SEO basics, and identifying plugins that are safe to use).
  • Know how to use and customize WordPress, Elementor/Beaver Builder, Gravity Forms (including conditional logic, styling, and add-ons like Gravity Perks), and Custom Post Types.
  • Be comfortable using multiple page builders. We currently use Elementor for most of our builds, but our agency partners also use Beaver Builder or ACF. Our clients appreciate the page builder experience, but we’d like you to have experience with Gutenberg as well so that we can offer the best tool for the client.
  • Have advanced knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.
  • Have experience and knowledge with Google Analytics/Tag Manager.
  • Understand or be willing to learn about ADA and GDPR requirements.
  • Understand and know how to safely modify website caching, email configuration, DNS, Cloudflare, and domain names with minimal to no downtime.
  • Be self-motivated and take initiative. If you prefer a lot of oversight and management, this position probably won’t be your cup of tea.
  • Be a creative problem solver. You don’t need to single-handedly solve every problem that our clients send in, but having this mentality is important in this position.
  • Be able to handle multiple tasks at once. You’ll need the ability to pivot quickly to complete, provide insight, and follow up on a variety of tasks each day (sometimes with shifting priorities or multiple deadlines).
  • Be an excellent communicator and be able to translate complex technical language to client-friendly language.
  • Provide quality, detailed, and exceptional documentation via Loom videos, code, or Notion (document).
