Job Description

The Role

You’ll be responsible for developing, maintaining and optimising high-quality WordPress websites for a mix of established brands and growing Australian businesses.

Designs and content will be supplied. Your role is to bring those designs to life accurately, make considered decisions across different screen sizes and ensure the finished product performs as well as it looks.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Developing custom WordPress websites from Figma designs
  • Building bespoke themes, templates and functionality
  • Writing clean, maintainable PHP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • Translating designs accurately across desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Making responsive design decisions where every breakpoint has not been explicitly designed
  • Optimising websites for performance, usability and technical SEO
  • Managing website deployments and hosting environments
  • Troubleshooting technical issues across active projects
  • Integrating APIs, platforms and third-party tools
  • Contributing to technical recommendations and project scoping
  • Collaborating closely with our design, content and strategy teams

You won’t be handed a vague brief and expected to rescue a poorly planned project.

We provide clear direction, structured content and well-considered designs. We’re looking for someone who can take those foundations and turn them into websites we are all proud to deliver.

What We’re Looking For

Essential

  • At least five years of commercial web development experience
  • Strong PHP and custom WordPress development skills
  • Advanced HTML, CSS and modern JavaScript knowledge
  • Experience building custom WordPress themes
  • Strong understanding of responsive development
  • Confidence working directly from Figma
  • A good eye for design, spacing, typography and visual hierarchy
  • Solid understanding of performance optimisation and SEO fundamentals
  • Experience using Git and version control
  • Ability to scope technical requirements and estimate work accurately
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • High attention to detail
  • Clear and proactive communication
  • Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of projects

We’re open to speaking with strong mid-weight developers as well as established senior developers. What matters most is the quality of your work, your technical foundations and your ability to understand and execute good design.

Desirable

  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools and emerging technologies
  • Experience with APIs and third-party integrations
  • WooCommerce or broader eCommerce experience
  • Hosting and server management knowledge
  • Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks
  • Headless WordPress experience
  • Technical leadership or agency experience
