About the Role

Working alongside our energetic technology team, you will create content management systems, data visualizations, single-page applications, automation scripts, and everything in between. Additionally, you will commonly integrate with third-party systems to extend our reach of feature offerings, as well as work on a collection of innovative internal projects.
What we need you to do extremely well
This role is all about hands-on development and sharing your perspective on approaches and techniques learned throughout your career.

- Have a mastery of Tailwind CSS and modern front-end development practices.
- Be a great team player, have a bias towards listening, take serious pride in your work, and always look for our process and results to be better the next time out. When you have high integrity for your work and the success of the product and your teammates, you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of a cohesive team that’s got your back in the same ways. Most importantly, you consider yourself a perpetual student of your craft. We recognize imposter syndrome can be anxiety-inducing, but we channel it as a positive means of learning and getting better at what we do every day.
Skills and Experience You’ll Need
Right now, these are the specific technologies and tasks that are essential to our work. We’ll need you to have at least 2-3 years of experience in most of these things, and we’re very open to new ideas on which specific technologies and tools can improve on what we have.

- Proven experience in delivering pixel-perfect designs that are highly interactive and dynamic
- Excellent grasp of development workflows essential to the modern developer, such as git and command-line tooling
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- Process-Minded & Detail-Oriented: you sweat the small stuff as it pertains to your and the agency’s growth
It’d be great if you have...

- Experience building design systems: component libraries, reusable front-end patterns, etc.
- Experience using best-in-class WordPress and PHP software such as Sage, Extended ACF & CPT, and popular Composer libraries
