Job Title: Full-Stack Web Developer
Job Type: Remote
Compensation: $60K – $100K/yr  (based on experience)
Job Description: We’re looking to hire a front-end website developer to help our clients. Preferably, that person will also have some back-end development skills to help us become more efficient internally.

Some of our clients already have a contract or an in-house web developer. You’d mainly be working with clients who don’t have one.

Most of our clients use WordPress, which is our preferred CMS. However, some of our clients use a proprietary CMS (eg. Sierra Interactive for Real Estate agents).

Front-End Development Responsibilities:

• We have a team of experienced SEOs. But sometimes, SEOs need help implementing certain things. You’d be helping with that.
• Designing/building websites for our clients. We currently don’t do this, but it’s something that we’d like to try. You’d play an integral part in that.
• Making website design and functionality changes.
• Providing quality assurance (QA), such as when a client’s developer launches a site.
• Troubleshooting/fixing website bugs.
• Updating WordPress plugins, themes, etc.

Back-End Development Responsibilities:

• We have some ideas on how the software we use (Asana, Harvest, Google Sheets/Docs, Google Ads, Google Data Studio) can work together better to make our jobs more efficient. We’d like you to help brainstorm ideas and implement them.

The following skills are required:

• Web development background with knowledge of basic SEO principles.
• Strong knowledge of:
  • WordPress front-end/back-end development (including Gutenberg)
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Integrating APIs
  • RegEx
• Experience working with:
  • Website hosts
  • Domain name registrars

In order to be good at this role, you’d need to:

• Develop plans and implement them on large and small projects.
• Work independently and with a team.
• Focus on details, such as thoroughly documenting processes.
• Be curious and eager to learn in a fast-paced internet marketing industry.
• Have a willingness to adapt to the SEO techniques we use.

The following skills are not required, but are a bonus if you have experience with them:

• Python
• PHP
• REST
• JSON
• Google Data Studio
• Google Analytics
• Google Search Console
• Google Search Console API
• Google Tag Manager
• Google Ads API
• Google My Business API (now called “Business Profile API”)
• WordPress plugins like:
  • Yoast
  • Rank Math
  • Gravity Forms
  • Contact Form 7
  • Advanced Custom Fields
• WordPress hosting platforms such as WP Engine
• Implementing call tracking software (such as CallRail or Call Tracking Metrics)
• Harvest API
• Asana API
• Google Sheets / Google Docs automation
• Screaming Frog / Ahrefs / Sitebulb
