• Do you take ownership of projects from concept through deployment and consistently deliver on commitments?
• Are you exceptionally organized and detail oriented, with high standards for the quality of your work?
• Do you use critical thinking to find better, simpler, and more effective solutions?

What we offer:

• Best-in-the-business 401(k) with company match up to 9%
• Ability to earn equity ownership through promotion to Partner – valued at over $2 million over 20 years

Qualified candidates will possess the following:

• Strong proficiency in PHP and back-end web development, with the ability to independently work across the full technology stack.
• Strong understanding of digital marketing, UX, customer behavior, and conversion optimization, with the ability to translate business and marketing objectives into effective digital experiences.
• Strong understanding of SEO and website performance best practices, including site architecture, internal linking, page experience, site speed, and Core Web Vitals.
• Strong project ownership, problem-solving, and communication skills, with experience leading development from concept through deployment and collaborating with Marketing, SEO, Design, and Data teams.
