A strong candidate will have experience working at a digital marketing agency or in a similarly fast-paced environment where attention to detail and performance matter.

Experience with plugin development and deep knowledge of technical SEO best practices will make you an especially strong fit.

Responsibilities include developing and maintaining responsive WordPress websites and custom themes, translating design mockups into pixel‑perfect code, writing clean HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, ensuring cross‑browser/device compatibility, optimizing for speed, accessibility, and technical SEO, collaborating with designers, content creators, and backend developers, and troubleshooting and improving WordPress templates and front‑end code.

Requirements: 4+ years of experience in front‑end/WordPress development; strong proficiency in HTML5 and CSS3; proven experience with responsive web development and WordPress theme customization; understanding of basic PHP for WordPress template integration; familiarity with JavaScript/jQuery; strong attention to detail; knowledge of Git and modern workflows.

Nice‑to‑have: familiarity with headless WordPress or modern JS frameworks (React, Vue); technical SEO, performance optimization, and accessibility best practices; SCSS/SASS or other CSS preprocessors; basic knowledge of Figma or Adobe XD; plugin and theme development experience.

We are offering a contract‑to‑perm role, competitive salary, flexibility regarding location, and opportunities to work on high‑visibility projects that directly impact millions of users.
