Job description

At Rotate Digital, a Junior Web Developer will build and launch style guide websites for our clients on our in-house website framework. Every component (header, footer, FAQs, sliders, galleries, and more) is already built and documented, so your focus is on bringing each design to life: adapting styles, turning designs into clean, production-grade code, and delivering fast, polished websites on a tight, predictable timeline. You'll also pick up beginner-level ad-hoc requests on live client websites to broaden your skills.

This is a role for someone early in their career who wants to be trained and grow. You'll be learning directly from our senior development team, and the role has a clear path to Mid-Level Developer for team members in good standing.

This is a remote role with flexible working hours. You are free to work when you choose but we ask all employees outside of the USA to be available for communication and ready for last-minute urgent requests/meetings when necessary at anytime between 9 am - 3 pm US Eastern time.

Outcomes You Are Responsible For

Tangible, measurable results of the efforts to engage, support, and retain clients. These reflect the successful implementation of capabilities, duties, and skills, leading to the key achievements: client satisfaction, retention, referrals, upgrades, and overall business growth.

• On-Time Style Guide Delivery

Why: SEO clients, typically, won’t see results within the first 3 months so delivering an exceptional website that will accelerate their SEO game plan early is crucial. Websites are incredibly important to the performance of any SEO campaign, especially in the long-term! So the impact that the website build has on the client’s experience with RD is huge.

Metric: Style guide websites completed within 5 business days, on or before the specified deadline (barring client delay)

Metric: 7–8 style guide websites delivered per month once fully trained

• On-Time Ad-Hoc Support Tickets Delivery

Why: On-time Ad-Hoc delivery shows we respect the client's priorities and understand their urgency. It makes clients feel valued and supported, and they're more likely to listen when our CSM offers strategic recommendations.

Metric: Ad-Hoc Support Tickets completed on or before specified deadline (barring client delay)

• Website Performance

Why: Rotate Digital needs to ensure that we are producing top tier websites that load faster, look better and rank higher than our competitors. By measuring the website performance we will be able to continuously evolve to create better websites for our clients.

Metrics: Page load speed and Core Web Vitals

Capabilities

A blend of personal and technical skills, knowledge, and behaviors that you apply in different situations to support your outcomes effectively.

• Initiative: Ability to ask for help if roadblocks arise, or when something is unclear or unknown. Ability to foresee and then execute on potential problems during a build or QA.
• Time-Management: Ability to balance website builds, ad-hoc tickets and other special projects for on-time delivery.
• Drive: To do whatever it takes to accomplish the desired outcome. Whether it's a crunch of a timeline, or an additional mile that you can go to make a difference, this is a welcomed opportunity for you.
• Strong Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to analyse complex problems, identify the root cause, and come up with effective solutions quickly. We work collaboratively, but you are expected to be able to work autonomously and not need hand-holding on non-critical issues.
• Documentation: Ability to create and maintain comprehensive documentation for code and websites to ensure knowledge sharing and ease of maintenance in a remote and asynchronous team.
• Understanding of WordPress Ecosystem: You have a strong understanding of building websites with WordPress and WordPress design. You participate in preserving the quality of existing websites and writing quality code and structure for website improvements and new websites.

Duties & Responsibilities

These are some of the core activities/tasks to be performed daily, weekly, monthly, and/or quarterly that you will have on your plate. This is not an exhaustive list.

• Website Development: Develop, maintain, and enhance WordPress websites to ensure they are responsive, user-friendly, and aligned with Rotate Digital's website development standards and best practices.
• Website Maintenance: Complete ad hoc requests and optimisations for live websites to ensure client satisfaction and high-quality website performance.
• Collaborative Department Development: We have a strong team of developers who like to tackle projects, improve processes, and better the quality of our websites together.
• Time-Tracking: Time spent on all tasks, projects, and builds needs to be tracked in order to help provide clarity to resources spent on projects/clients and to help management better understand project workload and capacity.
• Cross-Department Communication: Clearly communicate with fellow team members from other departments. Questions are responded to within 24 hours, and any tasks assigned are acknowledged within 24 hours; if there is a conflict of time constraints, then this is communicated upfront.

Compensation

We pay you for the value you have and create at Rotate Digital.

Pay range is dependent on experience.

Base Salary (fixed, paid monthly)

$1,300 - $1,800

• Clear growth path to Mid-Level Developer for team members in good standing
