We are looking for a WordPress/Shopify developer responsible for building themes from scratch as well as for working on already existing client sites.

The position requires a combination of programming skills (namely PHP, HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript) as well as an understanding of the entire web development process, including design.
Individuals in this role should be accustomed to producing semantic code that adheres to industry standards and specifications while working closely with stakeholders and in-house designers. The developer should have a thorough understanding of progressive enhancement and developing "mobile first".

- Thorough understanding of Git and workflow processes.
- Testing and debugging skills with browser console and external tools.
- Experience developing responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Excellent spoken and written English.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Ability to navigate, and be productive in a preexisting codebase.
- Ability to organize workload independently within project requirements while respecting timeframes.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience building Gutenberg blocks.
- Experience with page builders.
- Experience with other content management systems.
- Experience with dependency management tools.
- Previous agency experience is a plus.
- An eye for design and ability to use modern design tools such as Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD/Photoshop, etc, and extract necessary assets.
- Ability to work with modern component-based front-end frameworks e.g. Bootstrap, Tachyons, etc.
- Ability to work with advanced front-end frameworks such as Vue, or React.
This is an unlimited duration, full time position.
We guarantee fair compensation based on the skill level of the candidate.
Working hours are roughly 10h-18h, provided there's enough overlap with clients' timezones.
