You will work closely with our Marketing team to build and refine web pages, implement new functionality, and ensure our WordPress environment is well-maintained and scalable.

We're looking for a self-directed developer who communicates clearly, manages their own workload effectively, and takes ownership of deliverables from start to finish.

The ideal candidate will bring both technical depth and an eye for design to every engagement.

Salary Range: base salary annually, commensurate with experience.

• Build and update landing pages, campaign pages, and site sections in close collaboration with Marketing and Design
• Optimize site performance including page speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO best practices
• Manage WordPress configuration, plugin updates, and security hardening
• Integrate third-party tools and APIs including CRM, marketing automation, and analytics platforms
• Troubleshoot and resolve front-end and back-end issues in a timely manner
• Maintain clean, well-documented code and follow established development standards
• Support QA and testing processes to ensure consistent, high-quality releases
• Collaborate asynchronously with a remote-first team across Marketing, Design, and Operations

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional web development experience, with significant focus on WordPress
• A solid understanding of responsive design and the CSS box model.
• Hands-on experience building and customizing WordPress themes and plugins from scratch
• Practical experience using AI coding tools, with the foundational skills to understand, explain, and verify their output.
• Familiarity with page builders such as Elementor, Gutenberg, or similar tools
• Experience integrating HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics, or similar platforms
• Understanding of web performance optimization, Core Web Vitals, and technical SEO
• Solid grasp of WordPress security best practices and site hardening
• Experience with Git-based version control workflows, and CLI usage.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a remote environment
• Strong written communication skills for async collaboration
• Desire to embody our core values of passion curiosity, consistent improvement, empathy, sustainability, humility and empowerment through transparency
• Authorization to work and reside in the United States without sponsorship

Nice to have

• Experience with B2B tech or cybersecurity companies
• Familiarity with headless WordPress or REST API integrations
• Experience or familiarity with WPVIP
• An eye for design, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for creating engaging web experiences.
• Experience with web animation, interaction design, or prototyping.
